Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Joel Temperly could tell you From Russia With LOLs is some sort of comedic journey, less comedy show and more an experience yada yada yada…

But it’s pretty much an excuse for him to make fun of his Russian girlfriend’s accent and the stereotypes of her home country (vodka, bears, invading their neighbours), a country in which he lived for a year in 2017.
