Sasha Dolgopolov in Wroclaw. New standup in English 2026 22 February 2026
Finally, a new English-language comedy show from alternative comedian Sasha Dolgopolov!
If in her previous show Sasha explored the topic of stress, this time the focus is on its opposite: relaxation, slowing down and calmness.
How to take care of yourself when the world around you is falling apart? How to find a balance between survival and rest? How not to explode under pressure? How to stay calm when life is unstable? How to accept yourself when the world around you doesn't?
Sasha asks these questions (to herself and to us) in search of answers and invites us to join in this intriguing and hilarious exploration and talk about migration, gender, sexuality, politics, language, growing up and of course.... fruit flies!
The show will be performed entirely in English.

About Sasha:
Sasha (over 10 million views on youtube/insta/tiktok ), an alternative political comedian from Russia who immigrated when war broke out in Ukraine, spent a decade honing her standup craft. She has become one of the most provocative, recognizable, original and significant Russian-speaking comedians.
She is often praised by opposition media and colleagues, and is considered one of the best Russian-speaking comedians in modern history. Sasha is now embarking on her second English tour with a brand new program and starting a new chapter in her life and career.
Over the past decade she has performed hundreds of solo shows, open mics, festivals and competitions in over 24 countries (not an easy task with such a passport). Sasha has successfully produced seven hour-long comedy specials (including one in English), garnering a total of over 14 million views on YouTube.
