The desire to do stand-up at a higher level logically pushes comedians to the USA, because this industry is well developed there. But everything else in the US is "a little scary," said the escapee from Russia's famous stand-up comedian Denis Alien on the YouTube channel Petya Poloskov.
Now he and his wife live in Barcelona (Spain), while the Stranger has the so-called American "talent visa". But so far they are not going to move to the USA.
"When you watch the Daily Show every day, where they talk about these "old men's battles". I do not know… Maybe not yet," says the comedian.
The stranger said that his last tour was in the USA, after the concerts the artist stayed for a week in To live in New York.
"And when you live, your tourist charm subsides, and you see how many unhappy people there are who are close to insanity. You see that a person whose backpack is torn and you can see the things he is carrying with him, and he obviously I haven't slept for a few days, you understand that all the buzz that is shown in the TV series "Friends" is there, but there is still a huge dark side," said the Stranger.
While he ponders whether he has enough talent and strength to stay on the "fun" side of New York, or he will "fall into this darkness." The stranger concluded that he is still gaining strength, but it is possible that "sooner or later he will have to cash out his talent visa."
As EADaily reported, after the start of a special military operation, a stranger with his wife and two dogs escaped from Russia. They lived in Germany for a while. The comedian said that one day he was deported from this country, despite having a tourist visa and an almost ready-made residence permit.
