Almost all the English that you were exposed to was humorous English or jokes. When I started to dig standard comedy, when I started to be a screenwriter in Russia, so I began to watch a lot of American and British movies in English. So, if I think in English, I often come up with some kind of rhythmical, you know, sentences that have a punchline in the end.
Nikolai Kulikov is an award-winning Russian screenwriter and stand-up comedian. This year he spent a couple of months living in London (and also briefly in Dublin) performing stand-up comedy. I saw one of his performances in English on video and thought he was very funny! So, I decided to contact him for an interview to find out more about him, his experiences learning English, his views on performing to British & Irish people, and how he feels about life in Russia these days. I hope you enjoy the episode! **Please be aware that this episode features some rude language and swearing** Click here for more information
