20 main comedians in Russia according to Medusa

The Russian authorities (suddenly) declared war on the standers. So it's time to get acquainted with their work

The Russian state has found a new ideological enemy - stand -ups. For jokes, comedians are fined , arrested and sent from the country, they are publicly criticized by Vladimir Solovyov. Despite this, there are more and more funny standards in Russia (we hope this trend will continue). Medusa decided to make a brief guide to the Russian stand -up - and chose comedians whose performances should look (or visit), while there is still such an opportunity.

Superstars - you just heard about them

Nurlan Saburov

He performs on TNT, leads "What happened next?" , collects thousands of halls. A lot of jokes about relationships with his wife (rather tough) and children (even tougher!).

Ruslan Bely

One of the creators of the show "Stand Up" on TNT, which raised many popular comedians. In his monologues, Bely talks about everything that bothers him - from Morgenster to activists who complain to the prosecutor's office to jokes.

Danila is transverse

Many standpers consider the transverse a blogger rather than a comedian. The most transverse does not interfere with the regularly release of new haste and collect millions of views (the last concert scored 15 million). Danya openly criticizes the Russian authorities and often discusses the infringement of freedom of speech-back in 2018, the transverse himself was wanted because of the clip, in which he ridiculed mercenary clergy.

Ilya Sobolev

One of the most efficient and hardworking comedians. In addition to concerts, Sobolev produces several yetub shows, “TNT frying”, parodies (including Vladimir Solovyov and Alexander Lukashenko ) and many more. If you like Humor Sobolev (direct and provocative - Ilya has already been fined for him), the content is enough for a long time.

Julia Akhmedova

It has been working with TNT for a very long time. Back in 2008, Akhmedova became the screenwriter of the Univer, then she did Comedy Woman and other projects. And when the STAND UP show appeared on the channel, it became the only girl among its participants. Now Julia is not only performing herself, but also produces the show. In 2020, Akhmedova became one of the winners of the “Woman of the Year” of the Glamor magazine.

Heroes "Placing"

Sergey Orlov

Orlov grew up in a small village in Yakutia. And Yuri Duda capaciously described his jokes as a “comedy of Russian htony”. Some monologues of Orlov could well film Alexei Balabanov.

Ivan Usovich

The 2020s became breakthrough for the comedian. He went to Dudu and in "What happened next?" And at the end of the year he released the first solo concert, which scored more than 11 million views. Usovich jokes, it seems, about everything and nothing, but always - with the most bored and detached look.

Alexey Shcherbakov

Another resident "What happened next?" - In the show, Shcherbakov is responsible for harsh bells with guests. Alone, he comes out worse, and solo performances are not always successful - unlike the absurdist show , "We climb over the fences in a suit."

Evgeny Chebatkov

Probably released the most important solo concert of 2021. Very funny. Very touching. Be sure to view.

Alexander Dolgopolov

One of the main independent comedians of Russia is with jokes about God and Putin. At the beginning of 2020, he left Russia after the police began to check his jokes to insult the feelings of believers. In temporary emigration, he took a hurry in Israel, but then returned to Russia - and now gives concerts with new material.

Residents "stand-up club No. 1"-the main association of independent comedians

Idrak Mirzalizade

This is a comedian, due to the persecution of which this material appeared.

Alexey Kvashonkin

An indicative story about the situation with stand -up in 2021. “Standap-Club No. 1” released the show “Udraza Biratza” for several years, where four comedians discussed the news. Two of them, one way or another, have already encountered persecution by the authorities: Idrak Mirzizade was sent from Russia, and Alexander Dolgopolov left for a while.

Another - just Alexei Kvashonkin - recently publicly criticized Vladimir Solovyov (before that the TV presenter called Idrak with "mud under his feet"). Kvashonkina Soloviev called “ringing insignificance” and stated that he treats his native country as “Nazi Nazi bastards”-and all this is because of one joke about Russia .

Yaroslav is thirteen

Thirteen grew in Kamchatka - and even starred in the film Dudia about the peninsula. She graduated from the medical, but became a comedian. A lot of jokes about how romantic relationships in the modern world are changing - and also about his dog.

Alexander Malaya

He has an acting background-he used to be starred in a physical school and a reality show on MTV. Small humor is very similar to the theater of one actor. The comedian is very expressively discussing hard sex, then he admits that in his soul he is a gentle romantic.

New Wave (yes, just like in France of the 60s)

Vera Kotelnikova

Unfortunately, there are much fewer girls in the Russian stand -uper than guys. Plus, there is a myth about the so -called female stand -up, where all humor is spinning only around a relationship with men. Vera Kotelnikova is one of those who refutes this stereotype with every performance.

Lev Eremenko

The Yekaterinburg comedian, who relatively recently began to perform at Moscow sites. Jokes that he is not courageous enough, and how he tries to overcome the most diverse fears.

Luke Hikeadze

In an interview with Medusa, producer Thomas Gaysanov called Luka a Joker of the Russian stand -up (along with, for example, with Usovich). And he also has a very funny Instagram with memes.

Sofya Medovshchikova

Medovshchikova jokes deliberately quietly and unemotional. Her concerts are practically asmr. The range of topics is the widest, from “fat knees” to suicide.

Very funny - and not like anyone

Denis is a stranger

In Denis's speeches, about the ridiculous and sad (and many more jokes about death). If this does not bother you, be sure to look. PS Denis has a cat and three dogs ( and the podcast that he writes while while walking ) !

Arthur Chaparyan

The most silent and quiet of the popular stand -ups. Left "What happened next?" More than two years ago, but the audience is still asking to return Chaparian - and his paradoxical jokes.

And who to see if I have already seen everyone?
