The Kee has been doing stand-up for 15 years. He was one of the very first comedians to perform in Russian across the post-Soviet scene. Since then, he’s done TV projects, recorded an audio album and five specials, and now performs in both English and Russian. Back in Russia, he hosted his own late-night show, a couple of game shows, and even the local version of Impractical Jokers.

With a degree in physics, he is basically very smart, on stage he uses that brainpower to talk the most obscure things about the universe, politics, parenting, sex, and all the other madness of life. Known for quick improvisation and a sharp sense of humor, he can even handle a set with someone talking in his ear.
