Childhood
Gabriel Gordeev was born in Perm in 1981. Even from school, the boy knew for sure that he would be creative. Only Le Havre did not quite understand in what area. On the school stage, he participated in productions based on the works of Diaghilev, Pushkin and other writers. Gordeev’s first serious role was Kai from the play “The Snow Queen”. It was staged at the KOD studio theater. Gabriel often visited this place. Oleneva (the head of the studio) predicted a great acting career for the talented young man.
Theatrical childhood of Le Havre
Gavriil Gordeev, better known under the pseudonym Le Havre, had a love for acting and the stage in his blood and was reinforced by years of study not at a regular school, but at the Perm gymnasium named after S. P. Diaghilev. Here, on the stage of the school theater, real magic happened to Gabriel, he quickly transformed and enjoyed playing in regular productions based on the works of Pushkin and other Russian classics.
Gavr Gordeev has loved the stage since childhood
At the same time, he enjoyed visiting the city theater studio “KOD”, in which he played his first big role. This was the role of Kai in Schwartz’s play “The Snow Queen”. The head of the studio saw in the boy, and then in the young man, good acting potential and predicted a bright future for him in theatrical art. But it so happened that after school Gabriel became a student not at the theater, but at the Perm State Technical University, where he already had a different, but no less interesting life.
KVN
Gabriel Gordeev loved to play on the theater stage. But although he liked it, somewhere in his soul the young man felt a contradiction. And then KVN appeared in Le Havre’s life. The hero of this article found himself in this club. “Parma” and “Friends” are the teams for which future Comedy Club resident Gavriil Gordeev played. KVN games were held on a regular basis. Teammates spoke of Le Havre as a talented, intelligent and devoted person.
In 2006, Gordeev, together with Oleg Vereshchagin (a colleague in KVN), ended up in the Comedy Club. No, the young people were not tired of performing with Maslyakov, and they did not at all “grow out” of the club of cheerful and resourceful people. It’s just that KVN is still more of a school of humor, and not show business. After all, it was there that Le Havre learned to write scripts and behave correctly on stage.
It’s just that Gordeev decided to take up a different type of activity and became a resident of the Comedy Club. This was already a pure business, and humor in this establishment was put on stream. “Comedy” and KVN are radically different. It's like cinema and drama theater, where actors move from one to another because they want to try something new. Of course, Gordeev had a desire to combine Comedy and KVN. But due to television bans, this is impossible to do.
KVN or humorous truth of life
The prospect of getting a technical education did not upset the young man at all, since at the university he also had the opportunity to give vent to his acting passion and innate sense of humor. As a talented, educated and dedicated player to the team, Gabriel will perform as part of the city KVN team “Parma”, and then the national team of the Perm region “Friends”. Le Havre and Oleg miniature: Maaaskov party-goers After graduating from university, having gained good experience in team play in KVN, gaining humorous strength and experience, Gabriel, together with his KVN friend Oleg Vereshchagin, become residents of the Comedy Club. This was already a qualitatively new stage in the life of the Perm youth. Now, through participation in a comedy program, he could not only gain popularity, but also earn money. From now on, Gabriel Gordeev’s hobby will become his favorite job, for which they paid and are paying good money. According to the artist, he could happily try himself not only in comedy, but also still in KVN, if the latter had no prohibitions and restrictions on creativity.
"Comedy club"
With the arrival of this organization, Le Havre moved to a new level of his artistic career. Having impressive television and stage experience, the young man very quickly became a full-fledged resident of Comedy.
With great pleasure, he performed with his former KVN colleague Oleg Vereshchagin. The residents wrote together and understood each other practically without words. Therefore, their rehearsals proceeded quickly and productively. Gordeev also performed independently. If he had to joke about stars, Le Havre tried not to touch upon topics that offended any human feelings and relationships. Self-censorship is what Comedy Club resident Gavriil Gordeev did ("Tanks", by the way, are his most popular miniature). In principle, any participant in the show acted in a similar way, understanding what could be said and what should be kept silent. In addition to Vereshchagin, the actor performed with such residents as Alexander Revva, Dmitry Khrustalev, Garik Martirosyan, Timur Batrutdinov, Pavel Volya and Garik Kharlamov.

And if he was under 13, then the wise actor wrote in capital letters: “Don’t watch Comedy Club.” “Parents should control what their child watches. Myself, other residents, our friends - we all have children. If you raise your child correctly, you will not show him “Comedy Club” until he is 16 years old. If you don’t care about your child, show it at least from the age of 3,” resident Gordeev always believed.
