How much do Comedy Club residents earn?
Garik Martirosyan is the producer of several more show projects that are not related to the activities of Comedy Club Production.
But performing at the Comedy Club, without a doubt, one way or another, contributes to the demand for these artists as showmen, and therefore, even in this way, this fact indirectly affects the increase in their overall earnings. For individual performances, comedians from the Comedy Club set the following prices:
- Garik Kharlamov – 25,000 euros;
- Timur Batrutdinov – 20,000 euros.
- Alexander Revva - 30,000 euros;

Comedy club season 7
Comedy Club season 7 Comedy Club is one of the most popular comedy programs in Russia. She has been bringing laughter and joy to viewers since 2005. Over the many years of its existence, the show has not lost any quality. On the contrary, it tries to constantly surprise fans with something new. On January 1, 2011, the seventh season of Comedy Club premiered. In total, it includes thirty-six episodes. The program airs on Fridays. They show it in the evening. If you missed an episode, you can always watch it on our website.
Often the transmission is built according to one scheme. It begins with meeting the guests who are sitting in the studio. As a rule, Garik Martirosyan and Pavel Snezhok Volya communicate with them. Among the famous personalities who visited the filming of the seventh season are the singer of the hit “White Dragonfly of Love” Nikolai Voronov, rapper T-Killah, actress and singer Nastya Zadorozhnaya, parodist Oleg Yesenin, American screenwriter Paul Brown. Next are usually miniatures. The performances of the “Chekhov Duet” are especially loved by the audience. In particular, Ukrainian comedians Andrey Molochny and Anton Lirnik delight the respectable audience with sketches from the life of an oligarch and his young blonde wife.
The video sections are worthy of special mention. Among them is “Foreplay”. It is led by Serge Gorely. He talks about how to communicate with girls in a given situation. At the same time, examples of both correct and absolutely incorrect behavior are demonstrated. “Foreplay” is a collection of useful relationship advice, presented with humor.
In some episodes of the seventh season you can see the bard foreman Semyon Slepakov. His compositions, which are humorous and satirical in nature, often become real hits on the Internet, winning truly popular love. Among the songs performed by Semyon Slepakov, performed in the seventh season of Comedy Club, is “The best sex is sex with your wife.”
The real pearl of the Comedy Club is the United Sexy Boyz group, “banned on all TV channels and radio stations,” parodying Russian pop music. Its participants love to exchange barbs with Garik Martirosyan, who considers them, to put it mildly, not very talented. The guys often release new albums and also present videos. Sometimes they perform live.
In general, if you want to cheer yourself up and recharge yourself with positivity for a long time, then watching Comedy Club is perhaps the best and easiest way to do this.
Briefly about personal

Sergeich in Ufa. The Comedy club resident performed in his homeland.
On October 27, the Center for Contemporary Art “Oblaka” again pleased us with an appetizing new product, but this time not with a performance or exhibition, but with a simple guy from Ufa, of course, if you can call a simple person who in a short time was able to become the Comedy Battle vice-champion and resident Comedy Club. So, Sergei Kutergin, better known throughout Russia and even beyond its borders as Sergeich, appeared before his family, friends, and everyone to talk about the formation of his life path - from a beginner KVN player to a participant in the most popular comedy show in the country (“ Laughing panorama" does not count).
Sergeich (Sergey Kutergin) was born on November 30, 1980. Graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Belarusian State Pedagogical University. Despite the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, he went on stage while still a student. Vice-champion of the Comedy Battle project on TNT. He is also the one-man KVN team “Sergeichi”, which has won many prizes in KVN games throughout Russia.
It starts at 19:00, but, alas, there is a delay, and not the fault of the artist, which would be expected, the problems are rather in the technical part - the specialist is persistently trying to set up the video projector, but he is not succeeding. However, it soon turns out that the real technical specialist is ill, he is replaced by an art expert, and with the help of a friendly audience, they finally manage to set everything up and begin the performance. Everyone who wanted to laugh continuously for 90 minutes at the sparkling humor was clearly left disappointed - Sergei talked about his life, about the decisions that led him to his current place in society, about the beginning of his KVN career. He did not leave aside serious questions - about the difficult attitude towards people with disabilities in our country, for example in Germany, in shopping centers and just on the street every day you can easily meet a person in a wheelchair, and even several at once, but remember how things are in Ufa?
Despite the serious topics, there was also a lot of room for humor; Sergei acted out miniatures of his own composition and talked about the history of their creation, for example, Do you know what happens behind the scenes of the “Let's Get Married” program? Or, have you ever tried to experience all the delights of a trip from Ufa to Vladivostok by train? But Sergei had something to tell about it.
Towards the end of the evening, the guys from UTV took the star away to give an interview, it didn’t look entirely correct, why couldn’t they wait until the end of the show? Unclear.
Despite the unforeseen delay, Sergei managed to return and make the audience laugh with another portion of humor, and humor without any admixture of cynicism and sarcasm - this is exactly the kind of laughter that many of us have been missing for a long time.
Author's humble opinion Despite his illness, Sergei knows how to truly make people laugh, his jokes are easy to listen to (despite some hesitations in his speech) and some are truly hilarious. Therefore, it is strange that in every performance at the Comedy Club he jokes only about his illness. Maybe not in every speech, maybe not only about his illness, but an attentive person who is familiar with his work not only through the TNT channel will easily notice the difference.
For Comedy there is material in the spirit of “look, I know how to laugh at myself, and stop feeling sorry for me,” and in “Clouds” Sergei demonstrated a different type of humor, in which there is no hint of his illness, in which he simply laughs at what what's funny, over funny and interesting incidents in your life. Everyone decides for themselves, but personally, I like this kind of humor more.
Ilya Sobolev – present and future
The artist continues to participate in numerous performances and projects, hold corporate events and parties. Humor is a constant, hard, but favorite job for him. “Relaxation is not implied in this profession. Because as soon as you take a break, as soon as you decide to rest a little, at that same moment your humorous “tentacles” dry up, and you begin to do your job with difficulty. Humor must constantly pulsate, it must be constantly fed.” - says the comedian.
SERGEYICH - about funny and serious
A meeting with a unique person, according to the sages, reveals the soul of everyone and brings a piece of uniqueness to life. Today, Kamchatka residents are given such an opportunity, because SERGEYICH came to our peninsula.
Sergei Sergeevich Kutergin (popularly known as Sergeich) is already known to many thanks to the TNT television channel. Unlike others, the comedian himself calls himself a “man with special effects” and, despite his dissimilarity, and perhaps because of it, he is gaining more and more popularity among the Russian audience. Today Sergei is a living legend of the International KVN Union. Despite his illness - cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy), Sergei gained all-Russian popularity, becoming vice-champion of the Comedy Battle project. New season" on TNT. He is a participant in numerous festivals, including Comedy Club in Jurmala, “Big Difference” in Odessa. He is the “Master of KVN” of the Republic of Bashkortostan, winner of the Champions Cup in Minsk, vice-champion of the Central Krasnodar League of MS KVN (2011 season) and the Azov Regional KVN League (2012 season), twice champion of the regional KVN League “Faces of Russia” in Yoshkar-Ola (seasons 2011–2012). Being a director and actor, he won the All-Russian Festival of One-Minute Films in the Documentary Film category. Sergeich is also a semi-finalist in Comedy Battle. Super Season" (2014), participant in the "Open Microphone" section of the Stand Up show on TNT (since 2020).
Sergei himself says that he loved KVN since childhood, watched it constantly and dreamed of becoming a member of the club of cheerful and resourceful people. Not too hopeful of being accepted into an existing team, he created his own team. The team was called “Sergeichi”. It included himself and his two partners, who replaced each other during performances. In 2011, the team already performed at the Sochi KVN festival, where KVN players from all over Russia showed their achievements to the editors of the major league with the hope of getting on Channel One of Russian TV.
It so happened that Sergei arrived in Sochi alone, without partners. Perhaps this is what became a kind of prophecy of further success on stage. This performance, which, I must say, went extremely well, literally turned Sergei’s life upside down. The hall exploded with laughter and applause. Sergei was called for an encore. But it was still behind the scenes. That is, the audience in the halls already knew their favorite comedian well, they were waiting for his sparkling jokes and burning humor, but television was still out of reach. But it was precisely this performance that was noticed by the famous producer of the “Comedy Battle” project, Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov. He took Sergei’s phone number, and after a year and a half we saw Sergeich on TNT. He then turned 31 years old - a great age to start!
“I’m a little different from everyone else,” Sergei said then from the television screen to the whole country, “but I want people to just not give a damn. Society has finally matured enough to start showing me to it. It is my right. It's a challenge. It took me a very long time to be here...” And then from the words of Sergei Svetlakov: “We wish him good luck and support him!” – Sergei’s new life has begun!
Ufa, Sergei’s hometown, was rejoicing then! No one, except the closest people, knew then that Sergei would perform at the battle. And taking into account his stunning success on this project (the audience gave him a standing ovation!), combined with the effect of surprise, incredible courage and real humor, what was supposed to happen happened: the next morning Sergei woke up as a celebrity!
Sergei took second place on that project, but for him it was an absolute victory. This victory also gave Sergei love: he met Diana. The guys quickly got married and are now going through life together. Together they make up jokes, which, according to them, are taken from the everyday life that surrounds us. Today this life consists of touring with concerts, filming in television projects and in the full-length film “Love with Limitations,” which should premiere in cinemas before the end of 2020.
Sergei has a wonderful history with Kamchatka! This year, having decided to find his biological father, who once worked on the peninsula, Sergei wrote about it on his VKontakte page. The community immediately responded: everyone was found! Now Sergeich has relatives in Kamchatka - two brothers.
“I’m happy,” Sergei says into the camera, breaking into a smile, “I have everything - a beloved family and a favorite job. What more could you ask for?!”
Does happy Sergei now remember that at the age of two he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and he had difficulty learning to speak, and only began to walk independently at the age of three? Maybe yes. The fight against the disease continues, and now it simply has no chance of defeating this courageous and funny man. Sergei teaches this courage to others. Therefore, when performing on tour with concerts, he talks about his path to success, holds meetings with public associations of disabled people, paying special attention to communicating with young people. Being a living example for everyone who still doubts their abilities and cannot find their place in life. “The stage taught me a lot,” he says. – She taught me how to construct my thoughts correctly and improve my speech. She taught me to be more confident in myself."
Possessing a unique talent for making people laugh, Sergeich evokes not only love and admiration, but also sincere respect from everyone who is familiar with him and his work. This man was able not only, despite fate, to achieve recognition from others, but also, first of all, proved to himself that life did not deprive him, but, on the contrary, gave him an additional impetus for development.
Sergei will stay in Kamchatka for three days. On Wednesday, October 12, he will give two concerts at the Lemonade cinema, where he will show, in addition to the numbers included in Stand Up and Comedy Club, those that were not aired. Tickets can be purchased in advance or immediately before the concert. All questions by phone 478-222.
On October 14 at 16.00 Sergey will meet with representatives of social movements of disabled people in Kamchatka at the Lemonade cinema. Admission to this event is free. Come meet a unique person! Add a little of his uniqueness to your life!
