That legendary performance from the Ice Palace that changed my life forever. A huge stadium where I said things that no one dared to say so openly to such a large audience in Russia at the time.

This special was filmed by Edgar Dubrovsky, who later went on to direct the hit Netflix documentary “The Tinder Swindler“

Danila Poperechny: D_CK (2016)
More than 8 years later and pretty much all I remember from this show are the dancing nuns and the story about tape on my ass. The name came from two things: 1) it referenced the word I'd often say at confession so I'd have something to ask God's forgiveness for; 2) we thought it was hilarious to film promos and read reviews from people who went to a standup show with that name.

“I wanted to record a special somewhere I'd never performed before - where the audience didn't know me, and I didn't know them.“ That was the official version of why we were filming in Vladivostok. The truth is, the special was actually filmed in Moscow at Vegas City Hall, but the footage turned out so bad we had to reshoot the whole thing.
