Stand-Up Comedy from the Ivory Tower.

Comedic storytelling themed on preparing for medical school. I have joined the Ivory Tower Stand-Up Comedy group in hopes of developing my communication skills, as well as attempting to come to terms with my upbringing and my nationality in the current geopolitical climate. I will be doing my piece on the struggles of being a pre-med student, as well as being a student in general. I am also dedicating a part of my performance to my birth country - Russia, for me it is exciting that Russians who do not agree with Putin's tyrannical actions now have representation at SOURCE.
