The prominent satirist, writer and TV host has prepared a very special program for this show. It includes his best works that have already become the classics of Russian satire and turned into widely spoken proverbs and sayings. Besides that, Zhvanetsky will perform new routines which are sure to be very topical and acute.

Zhvanetsky manages to infuse his sketches with philosophical insights. His work is in the same class as the people like Ilf and Petrov, writers of the 1930s admired by millions, who, like Zhvanetsky, were from Odessa, the Black Sea port known as the crucible of Russian-Jewish humour.

Mikhail Zhvanetsky will perform in Dublin on May 10. Tickets priced from €45 inclusive of booking fee and restoration levy go on sale at 9am tomorrow morning, November 4th from Ticketmaster outlets and ticketmaster.ie .
