Sergei Putinski - Russia's Only Living Comedian

Sergei Putinski is “Russia’s Only Living Comedian,” the wildly unpredictable alter ego of comedian Byron Bertram.

With hundreds of millions of views online, sold-out performances and a rapidly growing international following, Sergei has turned his tracksuit-clad Soviet strongman into one of the most outrageous characters in comedy. His viral rise has earned him mentions on Tom Segura’s podcast and a shout-out from Bill Burr, bringing even more attention to the Russian comic who seemingly has an opinion on everything.

Equal parts geopolitical expert, relationship counselor and walking international incident, Sergei combines razor-sharp crowd work, physical comedy and fearless satire with hilariously questionable advice on America, relationships, politics and modern life.

Following a string of sold-out shows, Sergei is back on the road in 2026 with the Gigantic White Cellphone Tour, bringing the gold chains, tracksuits and suspiciously oversized telecommunications equipment to stages across the United States.

Provocative, absurd and completely unpredictable, Sergei Putinski has one simple mission:

He puts the commie in comedy.
