his life so that we can heroes from monday to friday 21:15 in the marathon the only news prevail we will pass we will win the bristles news together we are strong the standard is such a bit of a minefield now because you have to choose a topic very carefully and understand what topic you are entering now, can you really enter it, and i am one of those people who believe that there should be no restrictions on humor, because if restrictions appear some kind of caesura, then humor stops its development and society stops its development when does censorship appear anton i welcome you to the first channel of public broadcasting thank you for coming, you also invited everyone, this is already my third conversation with a ukrainian stand-up comedian in the last few months, and to be honest, only now have i caught myself

on the thought that somehow we were not here in any of these interviews with you vasyl baidak vadym dzunko we somehow did not explain to the tv viewers what stand-up is and i would like to, that is, very briefly i and you know i have a question how do you explain to your relatives what do you do? what is the institute? well , my mother is still waiting for me to find a normal job. she asks if i am there in the office. i invite this will be theirs the first visit in general gave me a place in my life. i want this silence. people told my mother that everything is fine. we go to see this person, we bring some money, and he just tells jokes . because they hardly understand the standard of culture, that's why you tell jokes and say this mom, i deal with people if they

are very simply afraid of the standard - it's a solo comedy performance in front of a live audience well, preferably, of course and there can be anything it can be it can be a monologue, it can be some kind of pantomime, it can be a musical number, that is, a standard, and we are the ones that the artists like. it was funny to you and your audience. i'm 27 years old. i've already participated in two revolutions. it's too much for me. i 'm not a revolutionary by nature. then you need to update the state, but on the other hand, imagine that your phone works like yanukovych, you know, it confuses the letters. you constantly want something like that to throw it together. it's my very philosophy. what should be in a stand-up? what is important to someone? what is important to someone?

what is important to someone is that there should be jokes . do you have any other thoughts and are interesting to someone? it is important that there are more interesting thoughts than jokes. i had the impression until february 24, at least, that you had a reputation among ukrainian stand-cleaners. how is anton tymoshenko - this stand up.com who makes jokes about politics well, i released this solo concert about politics, where i have not set before that, by the way, there were a lot of jokes about politics. to be there some separate blocs is not wealth, but at a certain moment i gathered many thoughts and i decided to make a concert entirely dedicated to political topics, i called it outside of politics, and probably this cemented the reputation of a political comedian for me. and in general, this concert, which has a new joke called i wrote it as a break from the police i was tired it's hard to joke about politics so that people don't get offended i was planning a light concert

before a full-scale invasion then it all started and i had to change my material because now it would be very strange when i go on stage has there is material like hey, you don’t care about audio messages, they already care about me, i read them myself, i think, no, anton doesn’t care anymore, he cares a little bit about something else. this concert was supposed to be at your place at the beginning of march, if i'm not mistaken, it will be on september 10, in march we start here, i'm joking, i started it in august , somewhere at the end of july, august, the tour began, there will be a big concert in september, on september 10, it's a charity strong concert and you said that you will give 100% of the ticket sales to the armed forces of ukraine, all the money and there will even be an additional concert , yes. that means that you bought so many tickets that you decided to do it. it's nice. i didn't know if i would

collect one. now i don't know if i will collect 2 i constantly felt some anxiety that tori would become more. at the beginning of the invasion, more people began to be interested in the ukrainian standard and decided on the whole vasyl baidak. my colleague collected several october ones and we thought, if vasya collects , maybe i will try it too. which yes, really, and the feeling that something has changed a little bit and we sold this october one like it maybe another one made it well, it’s like that, they went a little all-in, and all the money is in the armed forces because well, because i want to be useful and in the group that i perform in the cities, i don't give everything there, but 20% goes there, and the rest of the money is from small towns, i thought that well, here i did something for myself , but i want to contribute somehow more to make than just 20% and the biggest cans. comedians receive the most income in ukraine, it's kyiv concerts, it's all going to the army, you noted that

interest in ukrainian stand-up has grown. how do you explain this popularity of ukrainian stand-up? many of the experts appear that the war and people began to agree on russian content, they share more ukrainian content of course it is, but i don't like that such wording slightly detracts from the merits of ukrainian comedians because ukrainian comedians have been working a lot since what year, from 2015 in on the 14th, probably somewhere around 8 years, they have been practicing. well, there, too, it’s the same standard, you know, i started with what was going to be performed. make the comedian laugh. i’m my video, where there is such a person in glasses, a more successful person has a short joke, and this it is possible, but for me it was. i already thought later that it is not quite a stand-up because i am simply performing there in the image of a standard, it is something more honest, more of my own such frank experiences, i began to write not in the form of jokes. of my life are close, and it seems to me that stand-up was more popular, so there is conditionally in humor at the

age of 8-9, and the standards consider that it is probably six or five years old to be popular on television, such as the 95 quarter or some other television comedians known to the general public, you did not want it is because of that that it would limit your opportunities to say something. why would i not want that? of course i would like to be popular. i would always want to, but i never want to compromise what you are. well, the most important thing for me is to say what i think, what i like, and adapt and under the eyes of some mass trends, something is funny. this is quite a dead -end path for the development of a comedian, because the comedian, on the contrary, tries to raise some topics that other people do not raise, and this is precisely the power of cool comedians who can take up a topic that others comedians can't make jokes because it's too complicated. tv in ukraine is so complicated that it happened to people as for how to morons because i worked like i

was in all kinds of tv shows. i worked as a screenwriter and i know when you get a certificate they say it's too complicated, make it easier, well, that's the attitude in the channel for people, people are stupid, they need this stupid joke about the fact that there should be some other man there, these wigs, it will be tastier because well, i don't know if i can tell it, but the mad show was not talking to these guys live and they don't like anything wearing wigs was a requirement of the channel, and they didn't like it very much, they have already closed, and i always feel the same way about varyat how is it, oh ravyat show, fu fu fu, but when you talked to people, you understand that they are not deeper, but television made them like that and and the league of laughter that's all it's all a circus just some kind of all these idiotic shows where you have to entertain olya polyakova what kind of olya polyakova is she related to humor how many jokes has she written in her life why should i make her laugh and that's why we have her on

television a comedian to be a comedian and talk what you want is absolutely impossible on ukrainian television, and this is not the problem of comedians in ukrainian , but ukrainian television, which is afraid of ukrainian stand-up, which is afraid that a comedian will finally tell people the truth, that the man said that they were washing is ridiculous because it will destroy the plans of all channels, their budgets and their already prescribed idiotic serials and there are sketches, and we talk about it on ukrainian television, it should know the truth. we are all comedians in ukraine, well, not all of them are good, like obmiks in ukraine, which are of high quality, many are engaged in this and they're already funny, it's already objective, it's not only me, many comedians do it in big halls. and you're afraid . this was already joked there in 2019, there is a part of our society that thinks or

what kind of jokes are these to you now if the country is in the eighth year of war, eh, do you encounter such an attitude towards what you do very rarely, maybe some comments there i can feel some of them on youtube what, isn't it time to joke just about audio messages, relationships there, apartment rentals are expensive, such jokes are detached from reality, that's why i'm adding there jokes that are relevant, tough, very black jokes about the war, about our life during the war, about russia, about there, europe, after all, and because of that i understand that what i am saying is timely, i update my material with this, and to me, roughly speaking, a person cannot dig out that it is not timely because i am talking about relevant things, you are talking about black jokes about the war eh and eh i have this impression it has turned out over the past few months that it is still important to know some kind of limit, so what can you say, how do you define it for yourself, because some of you see your colleagues did not see this limit and moved on. and i think that i, too,

will not see them somewhere . somewhere maybe i was on the edge or somewhere in the future maybe i will go over i am playing it is that it is a difficult thing i wrote that the standard is still a bit of a minefield now because you have to choose the topic very carefully and understand where you are entering now or are you really you can join and i am one of those people who believe that there should be no restrictions on humor because if restrictions appear at a caesura, then humor stops its development and society stops its development when censorship appears, but i joke only on those topics to which it has at least some relation, that is, most of the jokes of the steppes well , this is a standard, a very free format, so there are no rules, but there is such a rule, if written, that the jokes you take from your life are usually a little funnier and better because you share your emotions with your loved ones experience is not knowledge, you know what you are talking about and it

bribes people and it increases laughter, your position is true life, it increases your jokes, well, conditionally, if i joke something about people there about gays, for example, it can be funny, but it will look, well, average if a gay comedian jokes that he 's gay is always ultra funny because he knows what it's about and that's why i analyze it because well, i don't understand it very well and that's why there are a lot of comedians in this war , people have very different experiences because someone was affected by the war very much kosyna was not affected i'm performing on tour, but in uzhhorod there is no curfew, well, in general, what is the concept of these sacrifices in the recommendations of the hours, but people don't understand them, so everything is fine with us, i'll never write a joke, i'll write you a joke about mariupol, but if i were a person who left mariupol, and i would write a joke about mariupol because i am from there, for example, if it were shorter, if it were a comedian from mariupol, who is about mariupol, he has the right to this because he was there, he has some experience

, he can share it and this feels possible joking is based on the level of your experience as a comedian. you recently wrote on your twitter that you performed in front of the military for the first time. and from here, as a follow-up question, are there any of your jokes about the war that will be, for example, at a concert in kyiv? you tested them on the military in order to understand how much appropriate well, i did not perform, yes. this is my first place right in front of the military only , but at the concerts in the cities where i perform, the entrance is already free for the military, so they often come and i see their reactions that in principles well, everything is fine, there may be some jokes, i even have such announcements, i am joking, this is such a topic, because i am a person who does not serve, as if there is simply no right to tell, so i am very careful about this, i enter and leave carefully. and then i also asked people if it was possible no, they say it's normal , i'm like that, well, it's not that i certified, i was really worried with the collar, i talked to them, what are you thinking of telling because they have a different experience

, and my experience is more peaceful, it does not compare to their experience of war, and will i be able to make them laugh, so i what kind of test jokes did i make then i just asked them, guys, i’m really worried because it’s my first time performing and what might you be interested in ? i passed an easy material about girls, then there was something more organized material, a militarized standard, and everything went very well, very cool guys. it helped me a lot because this is the feeling that you are joking, joking while the war is going on, it is not very well, eh this is a difficult feeling, and i also feel that sometimes i do the wrong thing, but they feel that it is not so important as defending the country, just joking. i feel a guilt complex and such performances. when the military sings, they thank me. after the performance, they help me a lot, so the military also supports the defense of the country. and in short moral spirit, they are

super people in general well, but it can still change, do you allow for yourself that you may receive a summons yes yes i allow how do you prepare for this well, what is my joke what am i saying that i have thought can i kill a person i can't kill a person without problems on the subject of this question i'm afraid of war i'm afraid i'm not the kind of person you know i've always been afraid of extremes in my life but i don't like to run away from something and that's why i prepare myself if this moment comes so that i i introduced myself adequately, and not like people who are trying to get to romania in this children's suitcase, well, i'm sorry, well, in short, it's such a shame, as for me, it's worse than death, but i asked you a little about unsuccessful jokes where this border passes, but i also got the

impression that very often it all depends on how the comedian sees fresh and what he is joking about and how he reaches the audience, the listener, that is, the person sitting in the hall may not quite understand what you meant, for example, you said that you were criticized a lot for the joke about nikopol, you from the nikopol district we joked for what because i didn't quite understand from this speech what you could be criticized for yes yes one more ring of this let's spin this hey that's why i was telling you well that i have parents sh- in nikopol well in the village in the suburbs i have already taken them out under no one from there, finally, they are now in kyiv here for a very long time, after all, the negotiations with the parents are such a strange thing when you say to my mother, well, they have to leave, everything must definitely leave, she says that if we leave, we will come back someday i say mom, if you don't

leave, she will continue the idea of ​​what it is leading to. this space is probably important to note that nikopol is actually across the dnipro from the zaporozhye nuclear war, let's say so without cameras, they are so close to the energy source across the river eh and i'm joking, i worry for parents who are looking for someone in nikopol the ways of self-soothing already my parents began to joke then that they were there, they told me we thought they would dig up the garden to come up with a solution, he would dig himself well, because they are shelling like that, my mother is fine well, you still wondered who such comedians in the family went to and then i say that i myself i am reassured only by the fact that nikopol has always been a pro-russian city, because all the russian-speaking people in our city speak ukrainian, the ukrainian language teacher knew what we were thinking, of course she knows. others will appear, they won't understand and who are not jerks, they will walk around the city, there will be some roadblocks , dirgetics, rioters, and anxious

guys from nikopol who speak ukrainian, there are headphones, they came, we had to cry, i flew in because you depicted nikopol, not such physical places and really if well, i wrote this joke three months ago somewhere and recorded it somewhere a month and two ago it came out just when these very harsh shelling of nikopol began and yes in this whole context shelling of the russian side on nikopol and the phrase no it is a pro-russian place. of course, people already dream of it, and i thought, guys, i agree that the wording is a pro-russian word, it is too harsh in this context, and i had to choose which one is more or less accusatory, maybe such an adjective, although kopani kopacha wrote to me shanton . the most difficult thing in stand-up, especially now during the war, is that in stand-up a lot of jokes are built at the expense of, well, artistic

tropes. that is, these are metaphors, where i am exaggeration and vice versa. the words of comedians as a certain fact is not very correct , because when we come to stand-up, that is why we look at the standard, we enter into a humorous discourse, which meme to understand that there are certain manipulations with words, artistic manipulation for the sake of achieving a comic effect, you also performed in russian before. my interviews , and i don't want to ask about it now, but i want to ask about your performance in english. that is, you chose such a course for yourself. i don't even know the spread of ukrainian stand-up abroad. the purpose of this record was, by the way, he said that my idea is called maloros, but i already speak english there, somehow it would be cool to call him something, well, there is a pitch brit, i have goals there or november in kroprypnytskyi and whose woman is she, let’s face it,

a british person is such a god of great britain sounds it's funny, i recorded a speech in english. well, uh, i recorded it when it was april 17. it was my third speech in general after the start of photography . i gave you such a speech in the open. cultures, small concepts, forty-man people, to collect some donations there, various comedians performed there, but he sat there, they tried to joke. well, of course , it was a little difficult, these times, the first thought was that we are all going to collect donations from the people, but people’s money is running out, we have to turn it over to the ukrainians to donate somehow from a foreigner, they already have more money than we have, well, exactly how to do it, just ask, well , it’s stupid, i know how to joke, you can try to do it in english on the walls so that it attracts attention. link to return alive well, let people stop donating. that is, it was with a charity. what well, and

indeed, at the expense of the english language standard, it is possible to further expand the audience of people who will be interested in events in ukraine because they read the news just about ukraine every time, well, it is for people. well , and war is boring, unfortunately, war in the 21st century is boring to people, i don’t know whether in britain, in germany or somewhere in ireland, well, it’s obvious why, that’s why i’m like this, well, through stand-up, through such entertainment, it will be possible to attract even more attention. i’m sure i’ll try one more thing. well, the third one is such an interesting challenge . i might die soon. i don’t know. maybe i’ll die soon. and i ’ve never performed in english. and all comedians dream of getting on neflix one day. you know, this will be a good thing before i die. i’ll try to record it in english, maybe something will turn out badly, but i do n't care, because i have such a life now, well, i'm living in the war and living in the basement there with my friends for three months. well, the standard i wrote was translated by some acquaintances from new york who are not very famous, such local comedians, don't be offended, but they are not

they will see it anyway, vlad, completely unknown comedians from new york, i had friends and they i will tell them immaterial i have a joke with them what do you think they are, well understood, they are generally funny because i don’t know english this is the first time i am writing what they are like yes dude this is it's funny, it's very funny, i did n't understand it. i'm like that, i didn't understand it either. it's funny. i would have written to me. my friends in english edited some vocabulary so that i know it better than i do. i have a very good memory. i just memorized it. i just memorized it. all words are new text well, that's where you can find it i still entered in life at all because i came out not expecting anything from people, the new material i don’t know how it will go in at all and you speak english, people understand and they laugh where it is necessary, you are such a wow everything falls into this and for a second there was this feeling that we somewhere in new york , in short, in some club there, you know, a comedian speaks english, people react to some such topics and it was really fun uh, finally, i want to ask you to quote more precisely and ask, you said in

one of your interviews that the microphone is great power, why do you use this superpower of yours ? well, i have such an illusion. well, i think it's more of an illusion, but i like to believe in it, that through speeches, through jokes, you can convey something, you can somehow change the world for the better. well, if so, it's very easy to say and i tried there, in the same concert, outside of politics, and in keeping with my standards, i tried somehow, apart from joking, to relieve some social tension and try to unite people, to somehow fight against some conditional informational evil and for informational good make fun of pro-russian couples there, everyone in ukraine, i support some ukrainians there, and it seems to me that humor has such an ability to deliver some correct messages to people, because when people listen there, when they read some articles, correct articles, it

can be boring and people don't want them read or somehow they have some kind of filters, we are skeptical about this information, and jokes are something that people have no barriers to, or there are fewer people like that, it's just a joke, correct him and you can because of this, the person has relaxed i laughed and added something important about the fact that we are already tired of talking about obvious things, that we need to worry about the environment, that we need to be kind there, that we need to be kind there, i don't know how to treat each other well there, all kinds of things, but because of jokes , they are not like that anymore such boring, obvious things because of the jokes. can you somehow convey all these messages to people so that they prepare them again? it's funny when a person comes out after a death concert and thinks not only that they had a good time, but also think. yes , i didn't think about it before in my life, maybe something like that i will do or change my attitude towards something like this. i'm not saying that it's such a thing as if it might not work at all. it's just my illusion that

i'm joking. it might have an effect, but i'm glad to believe in it and i think it's cool. you always have to be some kind of goal and over a goal in life is cool to have some kind of honey there to make people laugh and also over a goal is somehow to change for the better there conditionally society or the attitude towards something in society and you do it, you try to make it your own joke and you find it more interesting to write and in principle more interesting to live for to strive for something, er, i meant it because when you stand with a microphone and listen to you, well, 500 people, and soon a thousand people will listen to us, well, this is a responsibility, and somehow it seems boring to me, it ’s just fun to tell them for an hour when a thousand are listening to me people i want to do something for society well, preferably something good i'm a good person i think that's why i'm trying to do something good thank you very much see the project
