Inside Lapenko
Created by Aleksey Smirnov, Anton Lapenko
A high-spirited, improvisational comedy sketch series built on one performer's rapid-fire character work, steeped in Soviet-era nostalgia and deliberately lo-fi aesthetic.
A comedic Russian web-series featuring a myriad of characters, living in a city somewhere in either 1980s USSR or 1990s Russia, all played by one person — Anton Lapenko. The concept and plot originated from skits on Anton's Instagram. The series is made in the style of VHS and Soviet perestroika-cinema and the bulk of the dialogue is improvised
