Before the War Is Over: A Comedy Fundraiser for Ukraine
After four years of war back home in Ukraine, Yaroslav Zubko finally decided it was time to do his part… by launching his first solo comedy show. Torn between guilt, culture shock, the absurdities of American life, he fights childhood trauma, capitalism, the more-than-occasional existential crisis, and other first-world battles.
Before the War is Over is a dark comedy about identity, survival, and the ultimate American dream. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Ukrainian humanitarian relief efforts.
