Have you noticed in life that only strong and smart people can laugh at themselves. This means there is hope - we will survive. In the last century, the idols of our fatherland were poets. There were questions of honor, and in our time: sorcerers, psychics, hypnotists and we, satirists. God willing, this time will end someday in Rus', the times of poets will come again. The only thing that’s a pity is that we won’t live to see this time with you. One thing is required of us: thinking. The rest must be completed by our descendants. Well, since we will not live to see this time, remember - a song helps us build and live, and humor helps us survive. If you laugh like you do today, you can live a long, long time. In our country there is enough stupidity for a long, joyful, wonderful life. Well, that's all for you AAAAAA.

The New York Times writes, “Mirman’s stand-up is infused with a warm and cheerful sense of the ridiculous,” while Mike Birbiglia once called Eugene the “Andy Warhol of comedy.” Eugene is confident that this is the last comedy special you’ll watch (if you take poison right after).
