Currently, Garik is at the zenith of his fame. He is popular, successful and loved by millions of television viewers. Looking at how organically this talented Armenian looks on stage, you might think that all his achievements came very easily to him. But is this really so? Of course not. After all, any success is a result painstaking work and great effort.

Early years, childhood and family of Garik Martirosyan

The future famous showman was born in sunny Yerevan on February 14, 1974. As noted in some sources, the true date of birth of the famous humorist is February 13th. The thing is that immediately after birth, the mother of our today’s hero asked me to slightly correct her son’s documents. The reason for this was a banal superstition associated with the number “13”.

Perhaps this one small episode and predestined everything future fate humorist. He grew up to be an extraordinary child. And, in the end, he became a famous comedian and successful Moscow producer.

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves too much...

Despite the fact that no one in the family of the future actor was directly connected with art, the parents of the future artist always paid great attention moral education their sons. From the very early childhood Garik Martirosyan and his brothers Ambratsum and Levon visited music school. However, for our today's hero, training in this institution ended quite soon. The thing is that as a child, Garik was a very active and fussy child, and therefore often simply fooled around in specialized classes. For such behavior he was expelled from the music school, but this unfortunate misunderstanding did not force the future artist to give up music. Subsequently, he independently learned to play the piano, guitar and percussion instruments quite well.

In addition, already in school years Garik began playing in various semi-amateur productions. As noted in some biographical sources, the debut role for the future comedian was the role of Archimedes in one of the children's plays staged on the stage of his native school.

KVN Garik Martirosyan tore up the hall

Garik loved art, but the most significant influence on our today's hero during this period was his mother. By profession, Jasmine Surenovna was a doctor, and therefore, looking at her, Martirosyan also decided to choose this profession. Having received documents about graduating from school, the future artist entered the Yerevan State Medical University, where he began to study as a neurologist-psychotherapist. However, looking ahead a little, we note that Garik worked as a doctor for only three years. Already while studying at the university, he main passion became KVN games. Thus, choosing between the career of a doctor and the career of an artist, our today's hero chose the latter.

Star Trek by Garik Martirosyan: KVN, Comedy Club

While studying at the university, Garik Martirosyan joined the young KVN team “New Armenians”. Our today’s hero performed in this team for a total of nine years, during which he managed to become a Champion Major League(1997), two-time winner of the Summer Cup (1998, 2003), winner of the Jurmala festival “Voting KiViN”, as well as a laureate of many other prestigious awards from the Cheerful and Resourceful Club.

A brilliant career on the KVN stage opened the doors to the world for Garik Martirosyan Russian show business. In 2005, our today's hero, together with other teammates, decided to organize a new comedy project, which was launched in the very near future. This is how the TNT channel began airing a humorous program called Comedy Club, created like the American stand-up show. Within of this project Garik Martirosyan worked as a producer and one of the regular participants. And very soon such efforts brought the artist serious success. The talented Armenian became known in all countries of the post-Soviet space, and also earned a name for himself in the production circles of Moscow.

In November 2006, Garik Martirosyan decided to start new project, which would be radically different from everything that he had created before. The British show “Little Britain” was taken as a basis, which very soon organically transformed into the Russian project “Our Russia”.

According to the artist himself, the only obstacle to his political career is his family. Therefore, with acceptance final decision Garik is still hesitating. The thing is that a political career in Armenia will mean his inevitable move to Yerevan and separation from family and friends - his wife Zhanna Levina (works as a lawyer in Moscow), as well as his daughter Jasmine (born in 2004) and son Daniel ( born 2009).

Currently, the entire family of the comedian lives in the Russian capital.

Garik Martirosyan is key figure in modern humor. Fans of TNT, viewers of Channel One, and the audience of Russia-1 know him. But how was this charming Armenian able to make his way to the top without losing his cheerful disposition? Why do all projects with Garik's participation become successful? Let's figure it out from the very beginning.

Garik Martirosyan was born in Armenia, in the city of Yerevan. Due to the parents' superstition, the newborn's date of birth was changed - instead of February 13, it was recorded a day later. Thanks to this coincidence, the famous comedian is now organizing a holiday for two days in a row.

Nowadays, the popular Armenian often plays the guitar or piano, although he does not have a finished music education. Garik was expelled from music school for inappropriate behavior, but he mastered the instruments on his own.

After graduation secondary school young Martirosyan went into medicine - he entered the State Medical University, located in hometown Yerevan. Here the showman received the profession of neurologist-psychotherapist, but the diploma was useful to him for only three years.

Meeting with KVN

Doctor Martirosyan’s career ended after meeting KVN. The club of cheerful and resourceful people immediately charmed the Armenian, although he admitted that he liked the profession he received and brought him pleasure.

Garik began playing in KVN as part of the New Armenians team in 1994, and three years later he became captain. Previously, the team was called “Relatives from Yerevan,” but then took a more sonorous name. For the first time, Armenians were noticed in the city of Sochi at a festival; they qualified for the KVN First League. In 1995, Martirosyan’s team managed to reach the final of the First League and receive an invitation to the Higher League. But the guys failed to win even at a high level; they were beaten by the “Makhachkala Tramps” from Dagestan.

Later, the “New Armenians” team still took prize place(in 1997 and 1998), and also won the international cup twice music festival KiViN.

In the 2000s, the team, which gained wide popularity and love from the public, began touring the world. In addition to Russian cities, they visited America, Germany and the CIS countries.

A team from sunny Yerevan, who finished playing KVN, decided to create new product. The idea was born back in 2001, but was only realized in 2004 and not on the first try. Comedy show Club appeared on the MTV broadcast schedule, however, only as part of the New Year's meeting, and after the assistance of Alexander Tsekalo, a pilot episode was filmed for the STS channel. But even here the Armenians suffered a setback - General Director Rodnyansky abandoned the non-format product.

Luck smiled on the KVN players 9 months later, when general manager TNT offered profitable cooperation and the launch of the show on the screen. Viewers first saw the Comedy Club in April 2005.

Two years later, a large multidisciplinary production company Comedy Club Production was created, which is now responsible for the release of this comedy show and some third-party projects.

At one time this television broadcast was one of the most popular on Channel One, it was broadcast almost weekly, and the presenters became much more popular.

In an ironic manner, four presenters (Tsekalo, Urgant, Svetlakov and Martirosyan) discuss the news. Politicians, show business stars, foreign actors, and musicians fell under the scalpel of their humor. Thanks to charisma and an unusual presentation of information, this concept became popular; later they even tried to apply it to other projects, but to no avail.

Starting from the 15th issue, guests began to be invited to the Projector studio. They were different - the ballerina Volochkova, the politician Zhirinovsky, the Basque singer, the actor Khabensky, and the musician Makarevich.
