Not Alone

In the Moscow Metro, a choir is formed from employees—cashiers, train drivers, and station workers—learning to sing under the guidance of an enthusiastic conductor. For a contest, the conductor discovers the opera “Flood”, which is going to be performed for the first time. The opera tells the story of the last day before the world’s end. Following a triumphant premiere, the choir sets off on its first tour, only to face a real catastrophe.

I like that this special turned out exactly like this — funny, chaotic, sometimes a bit sad, with some swearing, and at times very personal. It might not be perfectly polished according to all the “rules” of the genre, but it perfectly reflects how I’ve been feeling over the past few years. Stand-up has always helped me get through tough times, so I hope that for you too (through me) it can do the same: make you laugh, help you switch off, maybe even make you think. Take whatever you want from it — the main thing is, no negativity!
