  Angie McEvoy 5 July 2005  
How she made the Muscovites laugh

In May this year Angie McEvoy made history by being the first comedienne to perform stand-up in Russia.

Angie talks to Jenni about what it was like to perform to an audience who couldn't understand a word she was saying.  

Also her Russian translator and producer of the Moscow stand-up festival Irina Burmistrova, talks about what makes a good joke in the old Soviet Union.
