They laughed and that's enough: what was the fate of the former residents of the Comedy Club

The Russian humorous television show Comedy Club has been on the screens since 2005. During this time, a huge number of comedians managed to perform on his stage. Some of them have forever linked their lives with show business, others have radically changed their profession and are now developing in a completely different direction.

Tash (Artashes) Sarkisian

Tash (Artashes) Sarkisyan finished his career at the Comedy Club in 2010 and after that almost never returned to the humorous genre. The man has been a creative producer of sports broadcasts on the Match-TV channel for a long time, but in 2017 he left for a more attractive project for himself.

In addition, Sargsyan decided to take care of his health. When he turned 40, he started playing sports. At that time, his weight was more than 100 kilograms.

This year he will turn 45, but we can say that at this age he feels much better than 5-10 years ago. Sarkisyan became interested in running, cycling and swimming. Sarkisian takes part in various marathons, so don't be surprised if one day you see him running down the street.

Although it will not be so easy to recognize him: he has changed a lot over the past 5 years. Of course, for the better.

Tahir Mammadov

Tahir Mammadov made his debut on the stage of the Comedy Club in 2005 as part of the Beatles duo (together with Egor Alekseev). When Egor left the show, Tair started performing alone. Mammadov's calling card at the Comedy Club was parodies of the popular program at that time, The Maximum Program ("Scandals, intrigues, investigations").

For some time, Tahir Mammadov still participated in various humorous projects, produced some shows and was their host. But in 2013, the comedian completely disappeared from the radar of domestic viewers. As it turned out later, he went in search of a better life in the United States, taking with him "for the first time" 200 thousand dollars.

The money ran out very quickly, much faster than Mammadov had planned. Therefore, at the end of his stay in America, he was ready to get a job as a taxi driver and even downloaded a special application. However, he got a "second wind": Mammadov launched his own business museum of selfies, met his beloved girlfriend and became a father.

So far, Tair has no plans to return to Russia, but his children have dual citizenship. Mammadov believes that they have the right to choose where they live and develop.

Le Havre

Gavriil Yurievich Gordeev, better known by his stage name Gavr, stopped performing at the Comedy Club about seven years ago. Despite this, he still cooperates with the company of the same name: since 2016 he has been the director of the TNT4 TV channel and the general producer of Comedy Radio. It is thanks to him that the channel that replaced TNT-Comedy shows the programs "Fire" and "Money or Shame". Now Havre is not joking!

Although... it's only at first glance! In 2017, he nevertheless returned to the comedy genre and took part in the filming of the film "Zomboyashchik". Together with him, his former colleagues on the stage appeared in the tape — Pavel Volya, Alexander Revva, Garik Kharlamov and Garik Martirosyan.

It is possible that Le Havre regretted this experiment, given the low ratings of the comedy. On the Kinopoisk website, viewers gave the film a score of 3.2 out of 10, and also received a lot of negative reviews from critics. Whether Gordeev will take part in such projects in the future or devote himself entirely to working in a media holding, we can only guess.

Alexander Nezlobin

Of all ex-residents Comedy Club Alexander Nezlobin, perhaps, was most remembered by the public. That's because he not only performed on the stage of a comedy show, but also took part in the TV series "Nezlob", where he played the role of himself. In 2014, he wrote his first script — for the film "Prom". His colleague in the shop, Sergey Svetlakov, helped him in this difficult task.

Two years later, he tried himself again as a screenwriter, and at the same time produced the comedy "The Groom". The fees from the rental of this film exceeded the costs by 5 times, which may indicate the success of this experiment.

In 2018, Alexander Nezlobin announced that he was ending cooperation with the TNT channel and switching to STS. In the same year, the ex-resident of the Comedy Club became a producer of comedy shows. Already this month, viewers will be able to see Alexander Nezlobin as the host of the 2nd season of the program "Thank God you came". By the way, he is also her creative producer.

However, despite a busy schedule, the comedian often performs in the stand up genre, in particular, at the Hollywood Improv club in Los Angeles. He has jokes in his arsenal both in Russian and in English, although he does not speak the latter very well and often laughs at himself about it.
