What is this thing about?
A Sip With Vodka is a new digital comedy series that chronicles the adventures of a woman named Natasha who moves from Siberia to New York City with her son, Robert, in the hopes of becoming a Real Housewife and cabaret star. On her journey she begins a friendship with lonely Hell's Kitchen dweller, Lyle. Over the course of one night, Natasha discovers that fame might look a little different than she anticipated, Lyle discovers his need to let loose, and Robert discovers what he truly needs for emotional fulfillment. This is a hilarious and heartfelt story about discovery shown through lens of an immigrant. 'A Sip' can be described as 'Borat meets Broad City' with the heart of 'Schitt's Creek.'
