Aleksandr Popov "50 Shades of Bouncer

Tallinn Fringe Festival proudly presents www.fringe.ee Performer: Aleksandr Popov Genre: Stand-up comedy Language: Estonian Duration: 60 min Tickets: 5€/10€ After more than two decades in the buzzing night life of his home town of Tallinn, Aleksandr Popov takes his place in the spotlight and lets the inner demons loose through the cracks in his life-long molded armor of wit and sarcasm. “A long time has passed since I first stepped on the door. But one thing I still remember like it was yesterday – cold was the night when it all started. During the days that followed that night, I became many things... I graduated four colleges in three different countries earning degrees in law, politics and pedagogy. I worked manual labor, trained in a public sector, was an in-house lawyer, became a teacher and somehow even a college professor. I even ran for parliament! For I am the legion of 50 Shades of Bouncer.” 50 Shades of Bouncer is an origin story of a boy who dreamed, despite the viral antagonizing hatred towards his differences, and grew up to be a man of many facets. Come night he can still hold the fort at the door, but during the day he is so much more than what they expected him to ever be! #tallinnfringe2026
