Famous comedian actor. Resident " Comedy Club».
Andrey Skorokhod was born on June 24, 1988 in small town Old Roads. ABOUT early years little is known about the comedian. The performer himself says that since childhood he loved to attract attention to himself, so at school he was a real natural disaster, although he studied well. Andrei’s parents were constantly called to school because of their son’s hooligan behavior: either he would be rude to the teachers, or he would fight with a classmate.
In his free time from school, young Skorokhod did everything. In a small town there was not much variety in choice creative activity, but Andrey tried almost everything. He was interested in burning, macrame, played the clarinet, and participated in a sports tourism club. And, of course, he was involved in school team KVN.
After finishing school, Andrei went to enter the Belarusian State Economic University. It was difficult for the young man to leave his parents, and he was not eager to continue his studies in the capital, he simply did not see any other choice for himself. The talented Skorokhod easily passed the competition and began studying for a degree in economic cybernetics.
While studying at the university, Andrei met Maxim Voronkov, and the young people created their own KVN team at the faculty, which they called “Lost Thoughts.” The newcomers quickly entered Major League KVN of Belarus. From the very first game, KVN captivated Skorokhod so much that he began to be careless about his studies, and was eventually expelled from the university for non-attendance. Which, however, did not upset Andrei too much.
He was involved in performances and organizational activities within his native team; the guys even went to Moldova to give performances. In addition, just at that moment the Belarusian branch of the “Comedy club” project appeared, where they wanted to see Skorokhod and Voronkov. After more than two dozen programs were filmed with the participation of newcomers, it became clear that one had to choose between the university and television.
A few years later, the comedian’s life came to a turning point. black line. The “Comedy Club” in Belarus disintegrated, and the “Lost Thoughts” team also disintegrated. Andrey was left in Minsk without work and money. He was afraid to return to his parents, because this meant confirming his failure as an actor and comedian, so for some time he did odd jobs, one of which became fateful for Skorokhod. In 2010, Slava Komissarenko, a friend of the young comedian, invited Andrei to help the Smolensk team “Triod and Diode” in working on the script for the upcoming KVN game.
Literally a week after this event, team representatives called Skorokhod and invited him to join the team on a permanent basis. In the same year, the Smolensk guys took third place in the KVN Major League, which helped Andrey achieve fame and improve his financial situation. In 2012, the Triod and Diode team received the title of Major League champions, beating Gorod Pyatigorsk and a number of other strong rivals. Then the guys noted in music festival KVN in Jurmala, becoming its winner.
In 2013, the team and Andrei Skorokhod parted ways. The artist was invited to the Comedy Club. Although the comedian initially had doubts, he still tried himself in the project and ended up staying.
One of his most favorite roles is “redneck rapper Glebati.” In January 2018, Andrey, on behalf of his alter ego, released his debut album “Domosed”, which contains 11 compositions.
Despite the fact that the comedian speaks very warmly about current location work, he emphasizes that he is still ready to move and is open to new offers.

As you know, laughter prolongs life. But there are very few people who know how to cause laughter with their behavior, their jokes and the ability to react with lightning speed to an unusual situation. And there are even fewer who are not afraid to be funny. One of these is Andrey Skorokhod. The young man made his favorite profession what he knows and loves more than anything in the world - making people laugh despite all the vicissitudes of fate, finding topics for jokes where, it would seem, they could not exist. He made himself and gives his talent to millions of fans.
Biography of Andrey Skorokhod
About my childhood and school years the comedian himself tells with his characteristic humor and self-irony.
The teachers considered him a natural disaster, as the boy always tried to be the center of attention. Parents often visited school, but not because of poor academic performance - Andrei studied well. But the behavior was “lame”, and strongly. He fought with classmates and argued with teachers. As he himself claims, because of a heightened sense of justice and the inability to veil one’s thoughts.
Personal life of Andrey Skorokhod
After school, I did everything that was available in the small town - clubs, sections, clubs, and KVN became my favorite pastime.
After graduating from school, without much difficulty, he entered the Faculty of Economic Cybernetics at the Belarusian State Economic University.
Almost from the very first days of their student days, together with their new friend Maxim Voronkov, the guys created the university KVN team “Lost Thoughts”; it immediately qualified for the major KVN league of Belarus.
Latest news about Andrey Skorokhod
This was the starting point in the career of a showman and the collapse of the career of an economist. KVN took up all of his free and non-free time, and student Andrei Skorokhod was soon expelled for systematic absenteeism and poor academic performance. But at the very young man This didn't cause me the slightest bit of grief.
He enthusiastically took care of the affairs of his team, organized tours, wrote scripts, and performed on stage himself. And in addition, a Belarusian version of Comedy Club appeared, where the two founders of the team became welcome performers. We started filming programs and after a series of episodes it became clear that studying at the university had faded into the background forever.
But then a “dark streak” began - the team broke up, they stopped filming Comedy Club programs and the artist was left without a livelihood. Returning home is a shame and a shame. So temporary work began, which became fateful.
In 2010, at the suggestion of a friend Stanislav Komisarenko, Andrey wrote a script for the KVN team “Triod and Diode”. And just a few days later the author received an invitation to permanent job as an author. Already in 2012 the team became the champion of the Major League.
And in 2013, Andrei Skorokhod was invited to the Moscow comedy club, where he is a resident to this day.
Talent and charisma young actor make him very attractive to millions of fans. But it is impossible to say for sure whether his heart is occupied today. He's either really into " active search”, or carefully hides the name of his beloved. Only one thing is known for certain - Andrei is not married.
He himself explains this fact very simply and banally - due to the busy touring schedule of time for personal life it simply doesn't remain. But he dreams of simple and completely understandable things for everyone. Beautiful Vacation home with a well-groomed lawn, a beloved wife, children and a big dog.
And all this will definitely happen, because dreams tend to materialize.
Andrey continues to work at the Comedy Club today. It turned out that he sings quite well and now performs musical numbers himself. His sketches are always sparkling, cause bursts of laughter and make you not only laugh, but also think about what was said from the stage by the actors.
He closely collaborates on stage with Demis Karibidis, and always receives standing ovations. Many jokes posted on YouTube receive millions of views.
And the sketch “Exam at the University of Rap,” where he plays together with Zurab Matua, Dmitry Sorokin and Andrei Averin, became a revelation for many. No one has ever thought of interpreting the classics in this way, adjusting them to modern literary trends.
The number “Don Corleone” invariably evokes a flurry of emotions at every concert.
Filming on television, touring with the Comedy Club artists, writing new jokes and composing routines - that’s what I do this moment is a talented author, performer and charismatic showman.
Andrey Igorevich Skorokhod – comedian, resident of the Comedy Club, former member KVN team "Diode and Triode", screenwriter and singer.Childhood and adolescence
Andrey was born and raised in a small Belarusian town with unusual name Old Roads. As a child, he caused his parents a lot of trouble with his restless character and not always exemplary behavior, which he more than compensated for with funny antics and sweet spontaneity. 
The boy organized home concerts, sang, danced, composed poems and funny reprises on the go, which incredibly touched those around him. To channel their son’s energy into a peaceful direction, his parents enrolled him in all the clubs that existed in the local House children's creativity. Andryusha played the clarinet, burned wood, weaved macrame, performed on the stage of a puppet theater, attended the sports tourism section and played in KVN.
At the same time, he managed to do well in school and pleased his parents with high grades. In all subjects, except chemistry and physics, he got “nines” and “tens” (in schools in Belarus there is a 10-point grading system).
Comedian career
Having received a certificate, he left for Minsk and entered the budget department of the capital's Economic University (BSEU). But the young student quickly became bored with cybernetics, which he studied there, and he was again drawn to creativity. With friend Maxim Voronkov they organized student team KVN “Lost Thoughts” and began to devote all their time to its development. 
Very soon the guys made it to the Major League of Belarus and became residents of the local Comedy Club, although they paid for this by being expelled from the university for absenteeism. This circumstance did not upset Skorokhod at all, since he had already mentally said goodbye to the profession of a cybernetics economist and did not see his future in this field. He made another attempt to get a higher education and entered the Vilnius European Humanities University at the Faculty of Law, but withdrew the documents after the first session.
Andrey Skorokhod on the stage of the KVN Major League
Deciding to dedicate later life humor and stage activities, Andrei unexpectedly encountered serious difficulties. The “Lost Thoughts” team broke up, and the Belarusian “Comedy” was not worried better times. There was no work, there was a catastrophic lack of money, and pride did not allow me to return home.
Everything changed after a chance meeting with Slava Komissarenko, from whom Skorokhod borrowed a small amount of money. After some time, Slava called Andrey and jokingly offered to work off his debt in the KVN team “Triod and Diode,” which at that time was looking for a screenwriter to create numbers. So Skorokhod not only unexpectedly ended up in Moscow, but also “lit up” in the Major League.
Two years later he was invited to the Comedy Club on TNT. The audience warmly greeted the former KVN player, heartily laughing at his funny miniatures. The numbers in which Skorokhod performs with other Comedy members have become especially popular: Demis Karibidis , Marina Kravets , Timur Batrudinov , Zurab Matua , Dmitry Sorokin And Maxim Averin. Some miniatures with his participation have already been included in the Comedy Club Golden Fund and have become a unique business card artist.
“Comedy Club”: Andrey Skorokhod and Demis Karibidis
One of his most favorite roles is “redneck rapper Glebati” (a parody of the rapper Timati).
I am Glebati, I come from Detroitsk. I was born black to a white family on September 13, 1996, the day Tupac Shakur died! Now just add 2+2, manigaz: I am the rebirth of Tupac!
Scandals
In February 2018, she was going to sue Andrei Skorokhod Olga Buzova. It all started when Andrei, on Instagram, which he runs on behalf of Glebati, compared Buzova to the Predator from the film of the same name, and then “liked” someone else’s comment, which seemed offensive to the singer.Buzova called Skorokhod a “subman” and announced that she would not leave the insult unpunished, but would defend her honor in court. The comedian tried to reduce everything to a joke by challenging Olga to a rap battle, but she left the offer unanswered.

Andrey Skorokhod, a former KVN member and now a resident of the Comedy Club on TNT, can really be called a fairly confident person: after his first performance in KVN, he received a prize as the best actor, after which life began to seem like a fairy tale to him. On the eve of the FESTIVAL “Week of High Humor with the Comedy Club in Jurmala”, of which Andrey is a key participant, he talked about how there were moments in his life when he had to doubt himself greatly
At the height of the holiday season, from July 31 to August 3, on best scenes on the Baltic coast in Jurmala, viewers will be entertained by the creators of the most progressive humor in Russia - Comedy residents Club. Last year, in honor of the tenth anniversary of the popular comedy show, summer Jurmala became the center of fun and laughter for five whole days. Beyond the stars Russian show business— Ksenia Sobchak, Maxim Vitorgan, Soso Pavliashvili, Dominic Joker and many others - the event was attended British singer Craig David, "party queen" Paris Hilton, and director and musician Emir Kusturica. Everyone liked the idea of the festival so much that it was decided to repeat last year’s experience this summer.
Andrey, I know that this year
At the Festival “Week of High Humor with Comedy Club in Jurmala”, among other things, a real fashion show will take place.
This is something new.
Yes, they say something like this will happen! ( Laughs.) And I even participate in this. We will walk across the stage like Victoria's Secret "angels", albeit in some unusual outfits. Some of us will have wings. The idea of the show came to the mind of Demis Karibidis, the creative producer of the festival, and we supported it. But to be honest, I don’t know what exactly will be there.
Have you had any rehearsals yet?
No. Do you need to rehearse this just to walk along the path?
Professional models usually spend a long time preparing for shows.
At the Comedy Club there are only experts, so we do everything without rehearsals, on the go. The main thing is improvisation.
Has such self-confidence ever let you down?
Improvisation, of course, can be unsuccessful, but if you improvise a lot, you will achieve success. In general, all our performances take a very long time to prepare, but sometimes you want to follow the lead of the audience or, conversely, lead the audience with you. This doesn’t always work out—sometimes you’re the only one who finds it funny. ( Laughs.)
And how, or rather on whom, do you check your numbers - is it funny or not?
First we show the numbers to our friends, then to Garik Martirosyan, and thus we understand whether it turned out funny or not. It very rarely happens when the reaction is not exactly what we expected. But with improvisation there can be just the opposite result.
So you guarantee that at the festival in Jurmala all the acts will be funny?
Certainly. You will see this by watching everything on TNT at the end of summer. Now the preparation is taking place in energy-saving mode. For me, this is exactly the same performance as any other. In fact, this is true. Nothing special. We're not competing for prizes, we just want to make a great show. IN folk signs I don’t believe in empty buckets, black cats, or “spit over your shoulder.” The fact that you can’t get your hair cut or shave before filming or exams, too. I believe only in the laws of physics and nothing else.
You probably did well at school?
Okay, but I didn’t have a good relationship with physics. Although, in general, in all subjects, except physics and chemistry, I had nines and tens. I studied in Belarus, we have a ten-point system.
Were your parents called to school for getting straight A's?
They called constantly. ( Laughs.) True, mainly on other issues: I behaved badly, argued with teachers, fought with the guys.
Perhaps this is how you wanted to attract attention to yourself?
Since childhood, I had a desire to perform on stage and be the center of attention. If I saw injustice, I immediately tried to correct it. “Why did they give him two, and me nine? It's unfair, he's my friend. Let's discuss this." - “No, Skorokhod, sit down. Don't perform." - “Then you... you are a hag!” And that’s it, parents were immediately called to school.
How did mom and dad react to this behavior of yours?
At first, of course, they were surprised, scolded, and then stopped going to school. My parents understood that it was impossible to stop me. And besides, I studied well, didn’t really get into fights, took part in theater clubs. We lived in the small town of Starye Dorogi in Belarus, where the population is only eleven thousand people, we had four schools there and child Center creativity - everyone who wanted to do something besides school went there. I played the clarinet, did wood burning and carving, weaved macrame, played puppet theater, from the first to the last grade he participated in KVN. The activity was crazy: I did everything, and I liked everything. I was even the champion of Belarus in knot tying! It was a sports tourism club, and we had competitions between schools in the republic. By the way, there are more
fifty types of knots. And everything needed to be known! ( Smiling.)
For some reason, it seems to me that you were such a mother’s boy... When you decided to go further to study, did your parents calmly let you go?
You could say that in some ways I really was both a mother’s boy and a father’s boy. I loved home and family very much. It was hard to leave, but there was no other choice. All my classmates, when they were in school, dreamed only of leaving for Minsk. I entered the Belarusian State Economic University with a degree in Economic Cybernetics.
Did you know math that well?
Yes. There was very big competition, but I did it easily. And for a free department. Mom was incredibly happy. However, I only studied three courses there.
Did KVN have such a negative impact on your studies?
Yes, I started playing serious games. My friend Maxim Voronkov and I created our own team at the faculty and immediately found ourselves in the Higher Belarusian KVN League. At the first game I was given a prize as best actor, and life began to seem like a fairy tale to me. I was sure that now I could do anything, and my studies immediately faded into the background. Maxim and I constantly missed lectures. Plus, a Comedy Club had just appeared in Belarus, and we were immediately taken there. We starred in probably thirty programs, and they told us: “Guys, choose - either study or perform.”
And of course, the choice was made in favor of the Comedy Club?
We had no doubts about this. I didn't want to study. I was only attracted to the stage. I didn’t want to spend a minute at the institute, and, on the contrary, I wanted to constantly be present on the set.
Andrey, how did your parents react to this choice?
The parents, naturally, were shocked. All my life my mother thought that I would be a lawyer or a scientist, but by no means an artist. Moreover, I studied in the free department. My mother was very sorry and asked me to graduate from college.
But you nevertheless showed perseverance and dropped out of college?
What kind of strength of character? I was expelled, and it’s not like I myself came and said: “Expile me!” ( Laughs.)
You probably had a chance to improve, to catch up?
Of course, there was a chance, but I didn’t want to study. Under the pressure of my parents, I returned to another institute, also in the fourth year, passing the academic difference. I came there for the first time, the guys recognized me, and immediately began whispering behind my back: “Look, this is the one that...” And I never went there again. Besides, there was a terribly old, rickety building there, and I’m picky in that sense. ( Smiling.) Then I returned to the correspondence department at my first university. But he just recovered. It didn't go any further. I probably did this to tell my mother some news, like: “Mom, I’m working in this direction. Don't worry. I will definitely become a lawyer."
In the end, did the story of getting a higher education end there?
That's not all. Then I entered the European Humanities University in Vilnius and even went there once for an orientation session. That is, we arrived, they showed us where it was. I looked at all this and left. And he never returned there again. All! This completed my training. So with higher education trouble. It turns out that by the standards of many modern people I'm a fool. ( Laughs.) Many people are surprised: “How is it possible without higher education?”
Since you love the stage so much, have you thought about entering a theater institute?
Many people advised. You see, some people, having received an acting education, play so-so, while others are great actors even without education. I was employed, doing what I loved. And somewhere else to study? I was sure that I could play anything, and even now it seems to me that where I work, at the Comedy Club, the skills that I have are enough for me. If the question arises about more serious work in theater or cinema, then perhaps I’ll take courses.
Have you been invited to act in films yet?
Invited to several films and TV series.
And you refused?
Yes. It is important for me that I feel the role well. And I simply didn’t like what was offered.
Andrey, how did you get to Moscow?
We played in KVN in Belarus, then our team broke up, like the Belarusian Comedy Club. There came a complete black streak in life, when it seemed that there was no education, no work, and it was unclear what to do. There was a period when I had nothing at all. I lived in Minsk, with friends. It was very embarrassing to return home: it meant admitting to my parents that nothing had worked out, that I had not become any kind of artist. I borrowed forty dollars from Slava Komissarenko from Stand Up on TNT - at that moment he was helping write scripts for the KVN team “Triod and Diode”. One day Slava called me and said: “When will you pay me back? Let's go and write them a script. They will pay, and you give me the money.” ( Laughs.) We went with him, wrote some numbers, and a week later they called me and invited me to join the team.
So you repaid your debt and ended up in KVN?
Yes! ( Smiles.) Thus, I got a jump straight into the Major League, which is what everyone dreams of. Money immediately appeared, which was enough not only for a rented apartment, but also for entertainment. We played two seasons, became champions, and I was invited to Comedy. I came, tried and stayed.
It’s so easy - let’s go and have a look and stay?
Yes. I arrived with literally one suitcase.
Over time, have there been more suitcases?
Certainly. Now, it would probably be more difficult to move, but I’m still ready to go anywhere.
Don’t you want to start a family and settle down in one place?
Of course I would like to. I am still a family man by nature. I have a dream: a lawn, a dog, a wife, children... But for now this is impossible. I travel a lot and I love it.
