After chili omelets for breakfast we did some shopping.
At 3 o'clock we saw Yakov Smirnoff, a Russian comedian. Although I've seen Yakov on TV, Ann's never seen him. For those of you who don't remember him, he came to the USA from Russia with his parents in 1977 as a young adult. Twenty years ago he became a US citizen and he's a very funny guy. His show is heavily based on patriotism and his experiences as a citizen of a new country with different customs.
His show began with an opening act of two young comedians and then everybody stood up for the National Anthem. Although he' s a comedian, it would appear he truly loves this country and what it offers. As Ann put it, it takes someone from another country to really appreciate what we have here.
My favorite part of his show is when he did a presidential skit.
After the show we had an okay buffet dinner at Dockers and then back to the coach for a game of Scrabble.

We are thinking of seeing this show next week. How long does it last? Does he sign autographs and can you get your picture taken with him after the show? Can you buy a DVD of the show you were at? Sorry for all the questions.
From start to finish the show is just under two hours. We didn't see Yakov after the show although the rest of the cast was in the lobby meeting and greeting anybody who stopped to say Hi.
There were books Yakov wrote and DVDs of his for sale in the gift shop. However, there was no DVD of that day's show.
I strongly recommend this show if you're coming to Branson.
BTW, who are you? I can't think of anybody we know who is coming to Branson.
