Growing up in a small Russian village, comedian and singer/songwriter Ksenia dreamed of becoming a star in Hollywood—she only had to endure fucked up parents, health issues, shitty Tinder dates, and fake friends to get there. However, no subject is off-limits in Ksenia’s brand-new one-hour musical comedy special, “Ready for Hollywood.”
The musician, comedian, and influencer take a tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane to tell her story as a Russian immigrant in Los Angeles through song, debuting original jazz-influenced and joke-filled tunes co-written by Mario Marchetti. The show will debut at Hollywood’s fringe festival this June and will feature opening sets from a few of Ksenia’s hilarious friends.
Ksenia is known for her darkly absurdist musical take on some of life’s heaviest subjects. The multi-hyphenate has performed at The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and Comedy Cellar NYC and penned the Amazon Prime-released independent film Bride To Be. With slots on MTV and Laugh After Dark, Ksenia’s set for stardom with her one-of-a-kind blend of music, humor, and heart. Her one-hour special is a personal look into the passions that drove Ksenia to leave her Russian home in pursuit of her dreams and showcases her unique perspective that’s garnering the attention of Yakov Smirnoff.
