"Speak darling, strange funny things"

Idrak Mirzalizade became the second after Arthur Chaparian comedian who performed at the “evening Urgant” with his stand-up material. A week before, the editor of Samizdat recorded a comedian monologue about why he likes to lay mines under his own performance, how other Muslims speak about his jokes about Islam, and that it really is really gorgeous.

Arthur [Chaparyan] as a comedian ... well. It’s just interesting that he imagined about himself at all, sold some kind of channel in a telegram there, determined how people use the whole messenger now, the first to perform at Urgant. You might think that he is some kind of amazingly interesting character. In fact, everyone would like to be Arthur. He has another humor, more stylish. I have more understandable, he has more stylish. Write down that Arthur Krivlyak.

They say there is an alternative comedy in Russia. In Russia, there is no alternative comedy in my opinion. There is, rather, a banter over the classic, over the design, but this is also such a light banter - and that's it, nothing more. This cannot be called an alternative. In fact, this comedian says: "I know that there is some kind of design." I myself do so sometimes.

The biggest problem of the Russian stand -up is that the audience requires a very large set of set. All in pursuit of a joke. It is impossible for the comedian to stop and think about what he wants to say, because the viewer must make fun of every 10-15 seconds, otherwise he loses attention.

Incredible energy and charisma are also required there so that people hear. But in general, this should be strive. The main difference between the American and Russian stand -ups is in the West a gorgeous presentation.

I do not think that we cannot write jokes that they are able to write - I don’t have any prejudices on the topic that comedians write better in America. I often saw banal jokes, banal thoughts in the western seducts, but they were so served that it did not annoy you. So far, so far it seems to have a good intelligence for the guys, a little more if the industry grows up-and we will be more abrupt, I do not even doubt it. Already now it is clear in the text that some things are gorgeous. Despite the fact that I have long been rarely listening to stand -ups for a long time, it is still clear that on microphones in the text some things are gorgeous.

Sasha has a small feed. It may be like it or not, but it attracts attention. Previously, two and a half years ago, he really really increased the tone at the performance, and so much the evil increased straight. And now he, it seems to me, is very able to harmoniously control his presentation. But about the presentation cannot be said that this is an alternative comedy.

Despair, helplessness and laziness

If you are a cool artist, you can hold the audience on any topic, but it’s easier for me to lend the audience to attract attention. I think this is a sign that I just do not know how to make creativity, but it is right to be such a cool artist that the audience does not notice how she already perceives humor differently. When I say at the speech: “Damn, you understand everything wrong” - and I begin to explain the joke, this is my despair, and helplessness, and, mostly laziness.

Since I began to engage in stand -up, I was immediately such a comedian who climbs onto the Rozhon, ran into spectators or guards, just to see what will happen. If people are unhappy with me and get angry with me, then I won, and if they look at my stupid provocations with a grin, I lost. And I am pleased from this. It is better to lose: so you understand that your audience is higher than a rank, it is good.

It is difficult to get new laughter in a new way, but to do all the time in the same way-it bothers. And I want to get new emotions in a new way, saying different things. If I just speak to call laughter, I'm in stress all the time, I feel scared. Especially if you are on stage in front of the hall, where the audience is not yours, but just one that came to the club for money - and you must make it laugh. We have to guess on the stage what they will laugh from.

I’m once straight a kaifanel from Andy Kaufman. I liked the very idea that you are not joking for these people, but create humor with them around the situation and what is happening between you. You play a little with human nature, with human attention. This can even be called a social experiment: you are looking for an edge of awkwardness. This is more interesting than just inventing a joke and telling it. I would like to be able to. Because so far all that I can do is to cause awkwardness with some nasty things, and that’s all.

Target

It’s good or not that comedians began to play at Urgant, is a question of perceiving what is happening in Russia in a comedic environment. Some comedians still, no matter how many sites and opportunities appear, will still see their life in getting somewhere on the TV.

I believe that for a normal dude who is seriously engaged in what he is doing, there is this: “I am doing what I am doing, and in the end I will shoot, anywhere.” You have a goal, you can break through a new road for her, even if no one has done it yet. All these ways are already initially without ready -made broadcasts. Before the stand -on on TNT, the road to make the “stand -up on TNT” project has already been.

It doesn’t matter, TV or the Internet: the case is in the comedian, and not in the means that he uses. Questions like “where it is better to light up” is questions for the poor, because you initially look at yourself from the position of the fact that they will do everything for you. After the broadcast on TNT, many comedians have disappointment. Here the ether passed, and instead of a billion subscribers on Twitter, three dude and thirty comments were added, where they are screamed in half. You think: "Damn, was I waiting for this?" And this is the whole problem. So, you were generally hoped in vain that the fact is where you are. You need to be able to sell yourself.

But such doors, already opened by someone, is important for those who do not know how to at first. Someone later realizes that he can make his way to his own, and for him this is cool support. The comedian knows that, for example, he will make an air on Urgant or make an air on TNT - and only then he will understand: “Ah, I can make a solo and sell on a streaming service.” This is what I would like, if qualitatively.

At the beginning of the year, Ksyusha and I (this is our girl who organizes concerts) set a goal: to make a broadcast on Urgant - not only to me, but in general, that our gang, in general, make air on Urgant. The checkbox was set. There was no one that we were waiting for the invitation.

Ether

For parents, it will be very pleasant that I was on the first (at the time of the interview, the broadcast of Urgant has not yet taken place, but there was already an agreement. - Approx. Ed.). Because when I spoke in a stand on TNT, relatives called mom, dad, they were very pleased. And how I am now, it is difficult to be proud of parents. None of the relatives will call and will not say like: "Here they saw yesterday a release on YouTube with Idrak."

Speech on TV is, firstly, a good motivation to write pure material. Pure material, whatever one may say, is needed if your name is to speak in some place where people do not give a shit, who you are, they want to neighing. And you must enter the position. Previously, I could be there a dumb comedian with ambitions like: “No, you should pay attention to me as a creative person.” You came, they paid the money - make them laugh. Give them a joke about Easter, about the shower. You need to be able to write the most standard, classic pure jokes that work.

But it is very difficult for me to be motivated by ethers, it is very difficult. Apparently, I gained some experience in interacting with the television audience on TNT, I have an idea of ​​what it is, and I am not so interesting. It is more interesting to make yourself a legend over time. This is more interesting. To think about a more cool image than a dude with ether or five hundred ethers.

I really want to write scripts, but I'm very lazy. Recently I reviewed the series "Horas and Pete" Louis Xi Kei. Louis is not just a stand-up comedian, it is a creative type that has something to tell and is how to tell it. He has thoughts.

Andy Kaufman did not like that he was called a comedian. I don’t know why exactly, it can never be completely seriously perceived, but I remembered it. I would like to just be a cool dude. All I want is to be a cool dude who does cool things, and that’s it. But laziness does not allow yet, and I do not know when it will pass. Kostya Pushkin said that it was necessary to touch the bottom. To get to some “damn it, everything is already, this is a pussy”-and try to return.

What I think about the transverse. A very, very hardworking person, with a taste that does not coincide with mine. Well, more precisely, this, without taste. [In a stand-up test] everyone simply angers, and then “angers”-it is said loudly, it is the very fact that the audience loves this. Although, after thinking a little bit, you understand that the thing is that he gives a qualitatively the shit he does.

Spectators can like differently while on stage. You can like it, having been a little by the philosopher, like Kolya Andreev, although in fact the audience of Kolya Andreev is not smarter than the audience of Small. It’s just that everyone plays in their interaction with the audience. Here the transverse decided that he would be a comedian, about whom they say: "Here, damn it, a brave guy, is talking about politics."

In the niche

From time to time, something from the Muslims arrives in the spirit of "Do not joke, please, about cunning Muslims, and generally do not joke about our religion, thanks in advance, this is very angry, do not repeat." It happens that personally after the concert they come up and say: “Are you a Muslim? Do you even know something from the Qur'an there yourself? " Once, just after the concert, the dude pulled me out of the make -up artist, said: “Here for this joke, if it is on the air ...” - and threats went. Miscellaneous happened. In fact, a normal topic, you just do not need to pay too much attention. Usually, if you ignore, there is no problem. I always have the case in my life: I ignore the problem - it is not.

I am an Azerbaijani Talysh, and I am a seam. Partly I am an ethnic comedian. Here I will write a monologue at Urgant, where I say several times that I am a thaw, and I say several times that I am a Muslim. If I sign up for the second time from Urgant, then there will already be van liners (not interconnected as short as possible.-Approx. Ed.). But what I do from ethnic is only a couple of jokes about the fact that I am Talykh, and that’s it.

We have no niche comedians at all. Everyone is looking for themselves. Maybe I will be just a niche comedian, suddenly in ten years I will joke exclusively on the topic of how Caucasians and Muslims who moved to Russia feel in another cultural environment. Suddenly, I will only joke on this topic.

It seems to me that now is such a crisis from which steep dudes will grow. People will often walk, some kind of saturation will appear, the audience will become selective, and only the strongest will remain from the comedians. Although dick knows, so I am still surprised: stand -ups are held in the club every week - from Thursday to Sunday, and people walk, and still a lot - for the first time at the stand. How much is this already? Three or four years, the fourth year has gone. Dofiga of all sorts of shows, and still full halls of new people.

Mustache

So I looked yesterday "Bohemian Rapsodia." It was embarrassed for me because of my mustache, because when I stood in line, I still thought: “Damn, I look like such a super-gloomy fan of Freddie Mercury,” and there were still mustachioed gays, it was also embarrassing from it.

But no matter how much I watched the video about Freddy in my life before that, how he works on the stage, causes me the maximum degree of despair in relation to myself. When he is on stage, you will not regret for a second that you are looking at him. Even if he had unsuccessful exits, failed performances, all the same. It's not about music - business in a person, a matter of an artist. This needs a lot of practice, but this is very lazy to me.

I would like me to somehow give me this gift of a cool artist. Type straight cool. As if when you watch a film about some great journalist, and this does not motivate you, but demotivates you. “Damn, he's too cool. And if I am not like that, then what's the point? What is the point of climbing in his field? "

I now have a new material, but it is completely already. I have already moved too much from the jokes, I just say nasty things from the stage, and that’s it. Terrible. I have forgotten how to write jurles specifically, I went too much in my "speak darkens, strange funny things." Sometimes I'm talking about how I like to poke for a long time. But these are easy ways to cause awkwardness - and that’s it. Yes, it is gorgeous, pooping is gorgeous.
