Russian Comedy TV Shows

Humor is born on the stage, which, it seems, decides for itself who is worthy to stand on it. If the performance is not successful for the participant, the floor under his feet leans forward. At first, a little, but then another joke didn't work, and the corner becomes steeper, and after another failure, the head is occupied with completely unfunny thoughts - to hold on. And this is not the only technical surprise that awaits the contenders for victory: for bad jokes, participants receive a special mechanical "paw" on the fifth point.

The new humorous show in the genre of stand-up. Here people talk about their problems. Thank God we have them!
