Russian Humour

Hello everyone who feels passionate about Russian culture or at least interested in it :) Friday, 26th is going to be a night of humour. This is a very traditional event for Russian students that we were waiting eagerly for. 

So let me tell you what is that going to be about. KVN is a famous humour TV show that was first aired in November 8, 1961. It is based on the performance of students’ teams who compete by giving funny answers to questions, improvisations, prepared sketches. This show became so popular amongst students and youth that nowadays almost every Russian School/ University has it’s own team. Student Unions set up leagues where different universities can compete for the “cup of humour”. Every team can try to make the cut for the TV show but obviously you have to be very talented in performing (singing, dancing, acting, joking) to compete with students who have ages of experience in making fun, who become professionals and sometimes even celebrities.

KVN in London is organised by major London Universities: UCL, Imperial, LSE, Kings College so it is an opportunity for you to meet our Russian friends from all over the world and from different London universities. Night of fun, night of socialising .. and I’ve heard that tickets are sold out already. But you can still get to see us on the after party in Bond Club, 24 Kingly Street, London, W1B 5QB
