Elizaveta Popova

New stand-up concert by the famous Armenian comedian conveys a story of a forced relocation and overall suffering from the recent world events.

Because sometimes you just need to laugh for no reason...

This concert is about toxic love—about betrayal, abuse, hatred, and attachment. About fear, being diminished, going without, and the endless cycle of forgiveness and apologies. About being the victim, the persecutor, and the rescuer all at the same time. About how, against all odds, I made it work.

This material was written in 2024 during the "Time of White Children" Tour. Thanks to everyone who helped with the tour and came to the concerts. Filmed in Almaty on April 19, 2025.

Andrey Ayrapetov jokes about the relationship with his father, who, unlike the comedian himself, supports the war, about his great-grandfather, who was in prison, and about his own attempts to be different from his family.

Hi! I’m Masha Shcherbakova, and this is my first stand-up special about relationships with family, religion, the body, society, and myself.

“Pick-Me Nihilism” was originally meant to be a mixtape of jokes that just wouldn’t fit into another special, but it turned into a very cohesive, solid, and funny piece of work! Vibe-wise, it’s closer to “40 Minutes of Sex With Yourself” — which is my favorite special of all time. Same relaxed feel, sometimes silly, no pretensions — just jokes on all kinds of topics. I also like that some of the material here is downright stupid or gross, with no attempts at turning it into theater, orchestras, or high drama. No Tarkovsky — just pure stand-up!

Andrey Hayrapetov's fourth solo concert, "The Happy Man", is presented to your attention. In the concert, I will tell you about moving to Moscow, about living with men, being close to death, and what it's like to be happy after all?
