Joey is also a talented singer, steel player and fiddler. He's an act you'll remember so check him out in the afternoons or at night with Mickey.

Jim Stafford
The Jim Stafford Theater
3440 W. Hwy 76
76 West Theater – Light Yellow on our area map
417-335-8080
jimstafford.com



The theater lights up the strip and has a gorgeous garden area in the front. Plush seats are available in the VIP section that takes up the first 9 rows. Gift shop is located in the lobby.

His marquee proclaims "Caution: Comedy Genius at Work!" And so it is. He is one funny guy. You can't help but leave happier than when you arrived. The show combines music and comedy and includes his two very talented children Sheaffer and G.G.

Most will remember Jim from his recordings and TV appearances in the 70's and 80's but his Branson show expands that talent to an even greater degree. He is self taught on a variety of instruments, but his banjo, guitar, and harmonica playing is highlighted in the show.

We recommend picking up some instrumental CDs of Jim's highlighting his skill with the guitar and harmonica. They are beautiful, easy listening CDs that you will listen to again and again.

Yakov's Smirnoff Show
Yakov Smirnoff Theater

Branson North Area – Pale blue on our Area Map
800-728-4546
yakov.com

You will expect to find comedy when you visit Yakov. There is stand-up, skits and plenty of interaction with the audience.

There is more to Yakov than comedy, though. He was an art teacher in Russia and continues to paint. Some of his artwork is displayed throughout the theater including pieces of his mural "America's Heart" that was erected on a building overlooking the ruins of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

He is also a professor at Missouri State University and Drury University in Springfield teaching a class appropriately named "The Business of Laughter."

Yakov loves America as you will see in some of the stories that he will tell during the show. He will make you laugh but he will also make you proud of America and finally realize how blessed we are. What a show!
