Twin Cities storyteller, Sufian Zhemukhov, will present at Café Congo on April 6, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. The performance is at the First Congregational Church of Winona. There will be a free will offering and refreshments following the performance.
Sufian Zhemukhov is an award-winning author and performer. His solo shows have been featured off-Broadway and nationwide. NPR presented his show Flirting Like an American as “a show about romance, culture, and one immigrant’s story” and his show From Russia Without Love as “an escapist James Bond parody.” Sufian’s stories are based on his personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and political analyst, which might be funnier than it sounds. He served as the 2023 Teller in Residence at the International Storytelling Center, received the 2020 JJ Reneaux Emerging Artist Award from the National Storytelling Network, and his research won the 2019 Best Book Award from the International Studies Association.
