Leading the "Comedy Club" (Comedy Club)

Performances from the stage of all favorite people's artists such as Zadornov, Petrosian, Khazanov have long been a story. As a logical result of the development of domestic pop humor, and can only transition to something more interesting, in 2003 there was a new entertainment.

Russian viewers, fed up with their own stage and Western attractions, literally pounced on a new project - "Kamedi Club", the creators and participants of which were ex-Kavanshchiki. Soon this enterprise turned into a business with a turnover of tens of millions of very significant and significant monetary units.

Undoubtedly, a considerable share of the merit in the successful development of the project belongs to the artist, who has the status of "presenter of the" Comedy Club ".

How it all began

Presenting them without modern Russian humor is difficult. Compare it is possible, for example, with an attempt to present the famous Boyarsky without a mustache and hat. Who wants to do this? Residents of "Kamedi Club" - Kharlamov, Martirosyan, Slepakov, Batrutdinov and Volya - told reporters about the history of their success.

The main ideologists of the project were the natives of the Kavnean team "New Armenians". Tash Sargsyan, Garik Martirosyan, Artur Dzhanibekyan and Artak Gasparyan came up with a new comedy project, which from the very beginning took a good start. This happened in the "Kasbar" on September 12, 2003. The first party was attended by eminent guests: Kirkorov, Yudashkin, famous representatives of show business. There was a noisy success. This evening the good old "Kamedi Club" was born.

Business

So it began to be called in five years, after many updates, looking back from the height of lived on a distant history, to the origins. In 2004, the entire enterprise relocated to the cafe "Maner". The success of the project largely depended on the enterprisingness of Dzhanibekyan, who created a solid business. A certain aura of elitism, surrounding the artists of the "Comedy", allowed them to ask for seats in the "Manner" to 2-3 thousand rubles per night. In addition, a significant income of the company brought in corporate parties. Soon the producer of TNT, D. Troitsky, offered them a place on the channel.

"Promotion" of the brand

Everyone is aware of what happened next. Then there was the tireless work, marked by the recognition of the public. Today the brand "Kamedi Club" is very popular. In the plans of general director A. Dzhanibekyan - release in the next few years of several similar projects united by the brand "SS".

In addition to the head office in Moscow, there are subsidiaries. The main income the company receives from television (about 30%), the rest give parties in clubs and tours, including foreign ones. The earnings of actors, according to the plan of the general director, are the basis of strong unity of the company. They are from 25 to 50 thousand dollars.

Entertainment industry

On NTN they created the production company Comedy Club Production, on the First Channel there are special issues, festivals of humor. In 2008, the TV channel Comedy TV was created. Animation studio Toonbox created a cartoon serial for them. In April 2010, an update of the project was presented, in which a new director-director (Sergei Shirokov) appeared, music and design, artists began to be called "residents."

About criticism

Yes, they are criticized. For the excessive, in the opinion of some, commercialization of the project. For vulgarity and profanity. For shocking and "toilet" humor, inadmissible in a civilized society.

"Mission Impossible"

Fans of the same project believe that the most gracious material for "Kamedi" was and there are people who behave like idiots, and have completely ceased to realize this. In one of the publications, the idea was expressed that the "Kamedi Club" performs in the Russian society a certain sanitary function: it subjects ridicules to drug addicts, adherents of unconventional sex, and so on. The author even tried to make a suggestion that special brains are built into the brains of these guys, which shoot down the dull Russian reality. Here you can immediately answer the wing: "mission impossible." But this does not mean that it should not be implemented.

Leading "Kamedi Club"

As in any show, the role of the presenter in the "Kamedi" is very responsible. The actor assigned to this role must have charm, outstanding acting data, humor, talent for improvisation, communication skills and the ability to charge the viewer and actors with a positive, cheerful mood. This is by no means an entertainer in the traditional sense. It is an active participant of numbers, obliged to be ready for anything. At various times this status - the leading "Kamedi Club" - obliged to meet the increased demands of Artashes Sarkisyan, Garik Kharlamov, Pavel Volya, Timur Batrutdinov, Garik Martirosyan.

How do programs usually go? Any appearance on the stage of the band - let it be USB (United Sexy Boys), parodying variety music - begins with a verbal skirmish between the participants and the host that flares up and lasts until the presenter of the "Kamedi Club" softens and allows participants Demonstrate the clip, "if only they had already left quickly."

The participant of the Turbo group (S. Gorelikov), referring to the leader, compares it with the most incompatible things and phenomena. In this case, as a rule, uses profanity. To which he must respond wittily.

Then Dyusha Metelkin, another member of the group, also practices the selection of mocking nicknames for the presenter: he calls "black-browed", "50 shades of black", "popular shaurman" of Martirosyan, ridicules the Tartar origin of Batrutdinov, the subtle physique of Will, etc. The leader is obliged Improvise in response to the attacks of the participants or to answer for the preparation, but so that the viewer accepts the skirmish for improvisation, otherwise the atmosphere of fun in the hall will be disturbed.

Tash Sargsyan

When the words "our permanent leader" are spoken in the "Comedy Club", then, of course, Artashes Sargsyan, in spite of the fact that his being in this role belongs to the period called "the old" Kamedi Club ", mean.

Charming and smiling, with beautiful intelligent eyes, looking somewhere far deeper than the eyes of the audience, with his inner warmth and his unique charisma, Tash (his "gum" nickname) stood, as they say, at the sources and Was indeed the undisputed leader of the project from his first day. Up to the moment when, for personal reasons, artistic activity decided to change to another.

Although there are also two pseudonyms: from school, the nickname "Garik" stuck to him, and in "Kamedi" he was also called "Bulldog". Why - no one knows, but everyone likes it. Cheerful disposition and exceptional artistic character contributed to the fact that as a child, the boy changed many schools.

"Damn good-looking, picky and distrustful"

Timur Batrutdinov is the only one of the leading "Comedy Club" who has never been married. This blatant fact of his biography has long been a cause for concern to his friends and fans. Timur himself confesses that this topic does not already have an Adam's apple, but rests on the back of the neck. Therefore, for several years on New Year's Eve annually swears to marry. But for now even the role of the hero in the show "Bachelor" on TNT, where numerous pretenders to his hand and heart explained to Timur how good he is (see the quote in the subtitle), did not help him to overcome the phobia of family life.

From biography

Timur Batrutdinov was born in a small village of Voronovo, Moscow region in 1978. With his birth, too, not all is well. The city of Podolsk was mistakenly the place of his birth. Since the father of the future comedian was a military man, the family often moved to different cities, which, as it turned out, only favors the development of the boy's humorous talent.

Since childhood, Timur very successfully "lit" on school matinees. Then he began to "star" in the KVN team of the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance, where, like Kharlamov, he received the specialty of a staff manager. With his help (Timur wrote bright, funny scenarios) the team "Team St. Petersburg" twice qualified for the final of the Major League of KVN. A good kind of earnings were part-time tamada at weddings and corporate parties.

After serving in the army, he was offered to join the team of "Gilded Youth". Here, Timur Batrutdinov finally decided to reach the heights in a comedy career. For many years he has a strong friendship with Garik Kharlamov. For a long time their duet in the "Comedy Club" was a kind of symbol of the program.

Bright, original performances helped the artist to become a real star. In addition to "Kamedi", Batrutdinov takes part in many interesting projects: "Hello, Kukuevo!", "Happy Together", etc. The actor successfully played the main roles in feature films: "Two Anton", "The Best Film-2".
