Garik Martirosyan is a Russian and Armenian showman, TV presenter, comedian, artistic director, co-producer and resident of the popular show “Comedy Club”. He is the author of the idea for the “League of Nations” project, as well as the producer of the “Show News”, “Our Russia” and “Laughter without Rules” projects.

A man with an excellent sense of humor, a generator of new ideas and projects, bright and talented - he burst into the world of Russian show business, took a stable position on its Olympus and is still in his conquered place today, delighting fans with his creativity.

Garik Yuryevich Martirosyan was born in February 1974 in the heart of Armenia - the sunny city of Yerevan. Since the boy was born on the 13th, his parents, out of superstitious motives, recorded his birthday as February 14th. Since then, the artist has been celebrating his name day for two days in a row.

As a child, Garik was an incredibly active and restless child: he broke sets, played pranks, and created bedlam in the house. In addition to Garik, another son was growing up in the family - Levon. At the age of 6, the parents sent the boy to music school, from where he was soon kicked out due to bad behavior. But the exile did not become for young musician an obstacle to independently mastering your favorite instruments - guitar, drums and piano. In addition, Martirosyan began composing music.

IN school years Garik Martirosyan, although he was not the first ringleader in various tricks and pranks, was known as a great inventor. For example, in the first grade he told his classmates that he was a grandson. And the young prankster showed artistic talent early on: Garik played his first role in the sixth grade, portraying Archimedes in a school play.

Medicine

After graduating from school, Garik Martirosyan entered the Yerevan State Medical University (YSMU), where he received the specialty of neurologist-psychotherapist. For three years future star"Comedy Club" was a practicing doctor, and he liked this work. But artistic talent still prevailed. Today Martirosyan does not regret the years devoted to medicine and psychiatry: he assures that now “you can’t fool him, because thanks to specialized education he sees people through and through.”

As for humor, Garik Martirosyan joked everywhere, always, with or without reason - it’s in his blood. He probably would have continued to see patients if he had not met the KVN “New Armenians” team. Now we can say with complete confidence that it was this acquaintance that became the defining moment in Garik’s fate, giving him a ticket to television.

KVN

The young neuropathologist met the KVN team in 1992. Perhaps this year should be considered the point from which creative biography Garik Martirosyan. The club of cheerful and resourceful people radically changed life and determined future fate future artist.

In an interview, Garik Martirosyan shared his memories of that time. According to him, soon after entering the medical university, a military conflict began in Armenia (). There were serious power outages in the country, there was no gas, and bread was issued on ration cards. It was during that period that KVN began - young people gathered in someone’s apartment, stocked up on candles and wrote comic texts.

“We had fun with ourselves. Well, we simply had no other choice,” says the artist.

In 1993, Garik became a player in the Armenian KVN League, on the basis of which the “New Armenians” team was created in 1994. Martirosyan started as an ordinary player, and in 1997 he led the team.

Playing KVN filled everything free time artist, so it makes perfect sense that he started making a living with humor. In the late 90s, the main income came from KVN tours, but even then Garik Martirosyan tried himself as a screenwriter. Even when he was not playing in KVN on stage, he continued to play as a producer. Then the Sochi team “Burnt by the Sun” appeared, for which Martirosyan wrote scripts.

As a member of the “New Armenians” team, Garik performed in total nine years. During this time the team became a champion Major League(1997), twice received the Summer Cup (1998, 2003), was repeatedly awarded at the Jurmala festival “Voting KiViN”, and also became the laureate of many other awards from the Cheerful and Resourceful Club.

As Garik Martirosyan himself noted, the experience that KVN gave him in his youth became a real school of life for him.

A television

Garik first appeared on television in 1997 as a screenwriter for the Good Evening program. Unbeknownst to himself, he became an active participant in various shows.

In 2004, Garik Martirosyan took part in the popular show “Guess the Melody” together with Polina Sibagatullina and reached the third round of the game.

Musical talent The artist has come in handy more than once. In the “Two Stars” project, the comedian demonstrated excellent vocal abilities, winning a well-deserved victory in the duet.

And in 2007, in the program “Minute of Glory,” Garik Martirosyan tried himself for the first time as a TV presenter. He had never had anything like this before big project– the program gave me a feeling of self-confidence.

In December of the same year, Martirosyan participated in the recording music album"Respect and Respect."

In 2008, the humorous series “Our Russia” produced by “ Comedy Club Production". The directors created the sketch inspired by the English TV series “Little Britain”. Garik was the producer of “Our Russia”, where he also starred as cameraman Rudik.

First released in May 2008 humorous project SpotlightParisHilton. The show was broadcast on Channel One until 2012. Garik Martirosyan was one of the hosts of the popular project along with, and.

In 2017, the show, beloved by millions, came out again after a five-year break. The lineup of presenters has not changed: to the delight of the huge television audience, Garik Martirosyan appeared again with his former colleagues, jokingly explaining the long break.

Martirosyan is not only a wonderful artist, but also a producer. In this capacity, he first tried his hand at it in 2008: viewers saw the premiere of the full-length film “Our Russia. Eggs of Destiny." But Garik Yuryevich is not only the producer of the project, he wrote the script for it. Martirosyan managed to prove his talent as a producer once again when he released new project called "Show News".

Garik Yurievich performed as a presenter on the musical television project “ Main stage”, which he hosted in 2015, as well as in the tenth season of the show “Dancing with the Stars” on “Russia-1”.

"Comedy club"

Garik Martirosyan's career, which started in KVN, opened doors for him in Russian show business. So, in 2005, the artist, together with his KVN comrades, initiated a new comedy project.

A program called “Comedy Club”, made according to the template of American stand-up show, soon began airing on the TNT channel. Garik was one of the producers, while also performing in the show. Soon Garik Martirosyan became cult person for domestic youth.

Unfortunately, Martirosyan himself always spoke very sparingly about the creation of the program. Modestly, the artist says that all the participants of the Comedy Club got together and decided to organize a humorous program, although his colleagues claim that it was he who was the founder of this successful project.

The artists did not immediately make it to television with their programs. The test episode of “Comedy Club” collected dust in someone’s desk for about a year before it was watched and approved. Not everyone liked the sharp jokes of the residents (as the artists themselves called themselves), but, fortunately, the program was broadcast.

Now it is difficult to find a person who has not heard of “Comedy Club”, despite the fact that Garik Martirosyan himself at first did not believe in the success of this project. The showman demonstrated an excellent sense of humor not only as an artist of the project, but also as a host: Martirosyan became famous for his ability to introduce guests.

In 2016, Garik Martirosyan again delighted his fans with hilarious skits as part of the Comedy Club. Viewers consider his performances in a duet with the most successful: their parodies “Eurovision Casting” and “Conversation between and” received thousands of views on Youtube.

IN New Year's Eve from 2016 to 2017, TNT viewers enjoyed watching the Comedy Club show, which was made in karaoke format. Garik Martirosyan not only made everyone laugh, but also surprised everyone by performing the hit of the year from Rostov rapper Pika called “Partymaker”.

For the new season of the “Our Russia” project, “Comedy Club” residents Garik Martirosyan and Pavel Volya pleased fans with a surprise - the humorous song “Our Russia is a terrible force.”

At the end of 2016, the comedian gave his fans a pleasant surprise by visiting Georgia. On the air of a national comedy show, he shared the most funny jokes and incidents from life. The video of the show appeared on YouTube and received great amount views.

Today, Garik Martirosyan continues to remain at the peak of popularity and delights viewers with his appearance in new projects, and not only television ones. The showman changed his principle of not registering on any social network and opened a working account in Instagram. But, as he claims, not at all in order to look for new friends and communicate with them: his circle of friends is already incredibly wide. It's all about a new project called “Insta Battle”.

Every day Garik Martirosyan asks his subscribers one question, and then, after analyzing the answers, selects the funniest one, the author of which is awarded a prize by the MEM Media agency with which the artist works.

Martirosyan’s plans for 2017 include the emergence of new Internet humorous programs, which Garik plans to create specifically for YouTube, RuTube and Facebook.

A year later they met again: a dizzying romance began, which culminated in the desire to get married. Garik Martirosyan and Zhanna Levina got married in Cyprus: all members of the KVN team “New Armenians” were witnesses.

Today, the family has two children: daughter Jasmine and son Daniel, born in 2004 and 2009. Garik Martirosyan’s personal life was happy: for 19 years, the couple never gave food to the yellow tabloids.

In fact, his name is Harold, and he is Brezhnev's grandson. My real profession is psychotherapist. He has been observing his colleagues in KVN, Comedy Club, and ProjectorParisHilton for a long time, noticing the phobias and oddities of his colleagues. He knows many secrets: that Tsekalo is a tsekalite, that Ivan Urgant will soon change his last name to “Ogurtsov”, and Sergei Svetlakov is unable to calmly pass by a dry closet... Martirosyan has serious knowledge of such a science as gelotology - practically this is a transfer of humor to distance. Don't believe me?..

Interviewed by Olga Genina

Let's not ask me questions that I have already answered hundreds of times.

- Do you have skeletons in your closet that you are ready to talk about?
- Oddly enough, no. In this regard, I am a rather boring person - respectable and honest, I have never even had problems with the police. What I really regret is that it would have been a great experience of negative communication with government officials.

- Garik, do you have a Moscow residence permit?
- Tell me, how can I not have Moscow registration with my appearance? I am one of those Caucasians who are first taken to the police to establish their identity, and only then asked to present documents. And now you can act out a skit in front of a policeman or “get a piano from behind the bushes” and sing in the voice of Sting... And then bow and leave with the dignity of a true Armenian. They will clap, ask for an autograph and let you go in peace. And before, my face “didn’t say anything” to anyone. By the way, my documents were always in in perfect order, from the very first day of my stay in Moscow. Each time I regularly carried with me tickets from Yerevan or other cities, which allowed me to be in Moscow for several days, and then I registered myself. And with registration it was interesting story- I had already bought myself an apartment in Moscow, lived there and was registered. No one prohibits anyone from owning an apartment in the capital, even if they are registered in another city. And so every three months, as the owner, I went to the local police station and wrote a statement: “I, Garik Martirosyan, the owner of the apartment at such and such an address, authorize Garik Martirosyan, passport number such and such, to register on my territory for a period of three month. I undertake to provide full assistance in ensuring that this person leaves the territory after three months Russian Federation" He registered himself and was forced to promise to expel himself from Russia. It was very romantic.

Now they would recognize you and let you go, you say. In general, do you avoid the attention of fans or are you happy about it?
- What, my recognition is nowhere near the popularity of Misha Galustyan! Here he really walks around the city in dark glasses, wearing a cap and covering himself with a newspaper. In fact, it is small, small, but attracts attention, like the Eiffel Tower. If we walk side by side, no one will recognize me. But he will be torn to pieces.

I doubt it... In an interview with our publication, Mikhail Galustyan said that his real name is Nshan. And Misha sounds more convenient to the Russian ear, so he “renamed”. What is your real name?
- Harold. No, Igor. Or not: Gargen Martirosyan! Here. Actually mine full name According to the passport - Garik. In Armenia, “ik” is not a diminutive suffix.

- So your children are Garikovnas and Garikoviches? Certainly.
- Daniel Garikovich and Jasmine Garikovna. What bothers you?

- No, nothing... Beautiful names. Did you come up with it yourself?
- Jasmine - in honor of my mother. Beautiful flower. It sounds elegant and sonorous. And Daniel is a figment of Steven Seagal's sick imagination. I didn’t know until recently who we would have. I wanted it to be like the old days good times. To be blissfully unaware until the very end, and then see your wife in the maternity hospital window shouting: “We’re having a boy.” Or: “You’re having a girl!” When it turned out that a boy would be born, Steven Seagal, being the hero of our program, recommended - call him Daniel. I couldn't refuse. You see, he’s twice as wide at the shoulders as I am and a hundred times stronger. I'd rather name my son whatever he wants Hollywood actor than I will be left without ears or with broken ribs.

- Is the intellect timid before physical strength?
- And how! Is it possible to fill your face with intellect? I'm generally very humble person, even shy. After all, all my childhood dreams were completely destroyed. I wanted to be a blue-eyed blond with long hair, but became a brown-eyed brunette with a high IQ.

- Are there any Armenians who are blonde?
- Real Armenians are generally red-haired - look at my daughter. She is red, like an orange, and just as lively. And there are blondes too. For example, Dmitry Kharatyan. I still envy him black envy. Black because he himself is black.

- You don’t give the impression of a person with a difficult childhood.
- So he never was. Our family did not live in poverty - the house had all the attributes happy life. A VCR, good clothes, juices, candies, even two cars. My brother and I were spoiled, but in moderation. That is why I had no desire to stand out - everything was for a happy childhood and so it was. He could joke, play pranks - but no more. There were hooligans worse than me. I remember once, in first grade, I said that I was Brezhnev’s grandson. Classmates came to visit us with terrible force, and my grandmother, when they began to ask her clarifying questions, correctly got out that, they say, we are all, to some extent, the grandchildren of the Secretary General. Then, when the guests left, of course, the first day hit me.

- Did you fall in love when you were young?
- Of course, I fell in love. But everything is somehow frivolous. I had other priorities then - to become “the coolest in humor.” The most famous and most professional. There was no time for strong loves.

- Do you share the opinion of some former KVN players that Evgeny Petrosyan borrows jokes from you?
- By definition, I can’t think anything bad about Evgeniy Vaganovich. PetrosYAN, MartirosYAN - do you feel what’s wrong? But in fact, I would not be lying if I say that I grew up listening to Petrosyan’s jokes, that I began to learn humor from his performances. To some extent, he is my correspondence teacher. When I was a child, there weren’t many satirists and comedians, so their performances were recorded on tape and memorized. And as for the level of jokes... You know, if a person has a sense of humor, then he will be interested in both Petrosyan’s concert and “ProjectorParisHilton”. On the other hand, look at how full the halls are during Yevgeny Vaganovich’s concerts. That's the same! They are overcrowded. This means this artist is doing everything right.

Garik, you don’t feel sorry for your own people musical abilities? You use them only in an “applied” form, as a supplement to the work of the presenter.
- I’ll tell the readers one secret. I'm not like that genius musician. I don’t know how to play the wind instruments at all, can you imagine? On the piano - please. Guitar, drums - with pleasure. But the saxophone or trumpet - full pipe. It’s even embarrassing to look people in the eyes. But seriously, six months ago Ivan Urgant and I and the great guitarist Roman Miroshnichenko recorded a joint single “Senegal”. This is music in its purest, professional form. I hope that this experience will not be the last, and we will even be able to organize joint performances.

- They say that the heroes of “Our Rashi”, Ravshan and Dzhamshud, were copied from your real friends. This is true?
- Well, acquaintances - that's a strong word. It’s just that many years ago, back in Armenia, two migrant workers did my repairs; I don’t even remember what their names were. Here they are - real prototypes. One to one. I come home and see that the window sill is flush with the wall. I say: “Is this how the window sill should be?” They nod together: “Pakalotnik.” Pakalotnik." I continue the questioning: “Should it be flush or stick out?” They: “Vrovini. Or vipirati." To this day, in that apartment, the window sill merges with the wall on one side, and sticks out about ten centimeters on the other.

- Please continue the phrase: “Not every Russian knows that...”
- ...real kebab should be removed from the skewer not with your hand or a fork, but with real Armenian lavash, and placed in the same form in the bowl, certainly covering it with another lavash on top. So that the meat does not cool down longer and does not dry out. And what does the lavash itself become after it is soaked in kebab juice! Mmm...

- Garik, don’t you regret leaving your homeland and moving to live in Moscow?
- But I didn’t leave my homeland. Flying from Yerevan to Moscow for two hours is almost the same as being stuck in a traffic jam on the way from home to office. I am a citizen of Armenia. Armenia is my Motherland, this is the country that made me, with which all the good memories in my life are associated. After all, my relatives are there, my parents and friends are there. We go there every holiday, sometimes even weekends. Every second I am ready to break away and leave for Yerevan.

By the way, about your parents. It is they who need to be thanked for your absolute ear for music and an excellent sense of humor?
- In our family, everyone joked and everyone had perfect pitch. Even Jasmine can say this now, and we laugh for another week. For example, we were recently traveling on a train, and the conductor asked her: “Jasmine, do you go to school?” The daughter, without thinking for a second, replies: “I’m on the train now, how can I go to school?” And I can say thank you to my parents for everything, they deserve it. Thanks to them, I had the happiest childhood in the world. I graduated art school and now I can draw a portrait of my beloved wife, which, in fact, is what I did when we first started dating. Thanks to my dad, I became a psychotherapist - he believed that this profession would help secure my future.

- Could you become a good psychotherapist?
- I think I could. In our team of comedians, everyone has their own shifts - it was very interesting for me to watch them. U normal people- normal shifts, but among the comedy club members, KVN members and projector perishil members - abnormal ones. For example, Misha Galustyan still bows to all the tinted “nines” passing by, Vanya Urgant is always trying to come up with a rhyme for her last name. Because he writes great novel in poetry to himself, but “Urgant” cannot rhyme with anything. In connection with this, he is even thinking about changing his last name to Ivanov. Or Ogurtsov. I don't remember anymore. Every year Tash dresses up as Santa Claus and goes with a bag of gifts to congratulate the children. Everything would be fine, but this usually happens in the summer. Seryozha Svetlakov cannot pass by public dry toilets - he runs in there singing and asks passersby to rock the stall from side to side. And Sasha Tsekalo regularly tsekalits. This, you know, is a most curious syndrome...

- And, excuse me, what does this mean?
- Do you have a medical education? No? So you won't understand.

- You are some kind of unethical psychotherapist - you reveal the medical secrets of your patients, joke about them.
- And I laughed throughout the entire course of medical ethics along with my classmates. Yes. This discipline was taught in the first year, and it was explained to all future students in great detail that the person in the white coat must be attentive, listen to all the patient’s complaints, even if they seem stupid, ask clarifying questions, not allow himself any jokes and, most importantly, Under what circumstances should you not reveal your emotions? We obediently wrote it down and learned it by heart, almost like the Ten Commandments. And so they take us for the first round in our lives and take us to our grandfather with a diagnosis of thrombophlebitis. This is a disease in which the walls of a vein become inflamed with the formation of a blood clot that closes its lumen. Nothing good, in general. Grandfather lowers his pants - and everyone is shocked! Legs from the ankles to the buttocks are covered in tattoos of the most vulgar content. Swear words, explicit drawings. Our entire group, remembering the commandments of etiquette for behavior with a patient, began to study his legs with exaggerated attention, and laughter was already bursting from all holes. They lasted about a minute and a half, probably. And then everyone broke out in unison, even grandpa giggled with us and told us about the history of each tattoo.

- As a failed psychotherapist, tell me: does laughter really prolong life?
- And how! I am simply convinced that laughter heals. There is even such a science - gelotology, which studies the effect of laughter on the human body. In world practice, where laughter therapy is actively used, the biggest difficulty that laughter therapists face is helping a person laugh. As aids humorous programs, audio recordings or speeches are used famous satirists and comedians. One of the main goals of laughter therapy is to help the entire body plunge into a state of deep peace, in which activation automatically occurs. internal forces. Such laughter allows you to “cleanse” stress from the body and, by getting to the subtlest psychological “clamps,” correct them. And then nature itself directs this freed energy in the right direction - for the rejuvenation and healing of a person. Therefore, everyone who watched a humorous program before going to bed will sleep better, breathe more smoothly, and will be able to forget for a while about the chronic lack of money and the problem of Libya.

He reports) was born in the city of Yerevan, on (February 14), in 1974. As a child, he caused his parents a lot of trouble. The boy was noisy and restless. The naughty boy was sent to music school at the age of six in order to slightly moderate his ardor. But that didn't help either. Soon Garik was expelled from musical institution for bad behavior.
