Roxana Sadvokassova (b. 1992, Kazakhstan), in her maverick approach, seeks to organically articulate and explore storytelling through different mediums, with respectful disregard to the labelling nature of the art field. Her current primary focus is film and comedy.
Losing her podcast virginity to NO NIIN magazine, in her pristine-falling-short-of-ASMR-voice, Roxana zig-zags drawing an apoplectic line between her comedic influences, her underwear & death fantasies, and solid advice given to Karl Lagerfeld by his mother. 17 minutes, with a singular goal: to understand how the hell did she end up being a half-baked comedian?
