I make rooms come alive

I’m a Seattle-based stand-up comedian originally from Saint Petersburg, Russia.

I was raised between two very different worlds, and my comedy was definitely shaped by that — the absurdity of cultural clashes and never fully belonging to one place.

I love the feeling of connection in a room, that moment when everyone is suddenly on the same wavelength. And I’m guilty of taking an almost idiotic delight in my own jokes.

Outside of stand-up, I coach, speak, and create custom comedy experiences for live events.
