You are watching «League of laughter»? Most Zhytomyr residents will give a positive answer to this question. The secret is simple: Zhytomyr team « 30+» entered the 2018 season and competes with such «humorous monsters”of Ukrainian show business as «Rest together», «VIP Ternopil», « Vinnitsa» and many others. We needed to get an answer to the banal question « what is it, star life?» The responses Zhytomyr.Travel appealed to Dmitry Slipachenko, one of the actors of the team «30+»
«I’m not a very public person. Here generally it is necessary to know the measure. Someone at least honestly says that earns it: «I’m a blogger, and all my subscribers carry information». Well, you can see when a person creates just a stupid show that can be recognized immediately. I don’t want to look stupid – smaller is better, but better»
«When I came to Zhytomyr to study, then I met my wife here. We had a lot in common: University, KVN. And we’ve known each other for a long time, about five years. Then I realized that there was a man you knew almost everything about. It all came together»
«At one time my wife and I worked in Artek, we know how to treat children (Laughs). But we have never been such that the mother only of a child engaged in, and only the father earns. Our only problem is lack of time. I don’t have a lot of free time and all sorts of crazy things, but if possible, we always spend leisure time together. We have videos, we have games of the «League of laughter»of the «30+» team. Son of his classmates agitates to subscribe to the channel and watch You Tube» (Laughs)
«In principle, I am not a pious person, but there are significant stories. Once upon a time with friends worked in Denmark, had to go on vacation to Ukraine and on the road was in an accident. The guys who are in the other car was driving behind, said the film «Fast and Furious» resting: we were specifically rocked. I was told that by a miracle everything normally ended. And then I saw two icons at the helm. They were in the glove compartment, and they were thrown on the steering wheel in some strange way. Here are the «signs»
«This year after the end of the season we were invited to take part in tours. We went to the cities of Ukraine-about 20 universities and 16 cities. What I conclusion for themselves made? We must stop talking, and even more so believe that Zhytomyr is a city worse than any other in Ukraine. It’s not true! We traveled to all the regional centers, and I’ll tell you that most cities «nervously smoke on the sidelines». We are very good, everything is good, there are interesting changes in the city, there are active people»
«Our team jokes apolitical, but it can not be considered a principled position. It’s just the organic nature of the humor that we come up with and that we like. Our humor is called «Life». In addition, the editors of the «League of laughter» we are directed in this direction. Sometimes we prepare the room, bring up the editor, and we say: “No, dude, you believe, if you’ll be in your theme. « A child, a mother, life hacks are our life»
«Our audience is 30+. This project is interesting because it affects many social strata: young people and parents. Even those who have not watched the «League of laughter» now look-themselves in our jokes know»
«A cool story happened to us at the New Year’s fair. The kids and I and friends went for a walk, and there are some sweets sold. We approached, ordered to children. And the saleswoman gives us our order, then another extra and says: «Guys, «30+», this is for you. Thank you for your jokes. We have exactly the same thing going on in the family when his mother comes. «We liked it, great start! We went to kebabs with hopes that the scheme and there will work (Laughs). But no, they did not recognize me» (Laughs)
«I love my job, I get high from the impact when the joke comes, when there are emotions. The specificity is that you should always look for something new. And you have to look in everyday life, you have to be observant, more immersed in the topic, adapting it to serve. Sometimes the joke itself «creeps», and sometimes it is difficult to find, especially if you want to do better than that. Therefore, there are many processes that need to be worked on. In fact, humor is very serious»
«I have a clear rule: I never drink alcohol at work, even with my best friends. This is a taboo. I know many talented children who, unfortunately, left this sphere through alcohol»
«When you love your job – and I love it very much, you want to do it better. The trick is simple! And if you start thinking about how to do better, it takes a long time. Which means you’ll spend less time on yourself, on your family. Sometimes my evenings are spent preparing for performances in my room. So maybe during the week, so in the output I could work out»
«It’s a sin to be honest: for many of us to play in the top League and get into the black» – a cherished dream. Vadik Novitsky often likes to repeat that our dream has come true. But when we played the season, we realized how difficult it really is. We’re on the road, not at home. The student teams still have a different degree of responsibility than we do. We have calls: «When will you be? You took out? We have no water». Relatively speaking, the «domestics». And we don’t stop thanking our wives for understanding! For the fact that they give us the opportunity to realize ourselves after the «thirty», helping to do those things that we did not have time to do before. And after thirty it is very difficult to break out of the comfort zone: you understand that there is a family, a child, a well-established daily route, a plan for a year, a month. And then there is the «League of laughter», and you completely reformat yourself, to devote less time to the project called «Family». More tours! We did not think that we would go on tours, perform in a high, have fun. And our wives will take it and say, «Come on, you like it»
«Now there is a lot of work – we have passed in the new season. It is necessary to prepare the material, to think, to create rooms, and find different options. Apparently, it is necessary for the market to go – looking for inspiration»
«Our wives «in the know» – they went to the event, almost all have played in the WHC. It is difficult to say that in marriage the most important thing-all the main thing in the aggregate. It is important to have a feeling of happiness, peace of mind. You should always talk, Express your own point of view, and understand that everyone is right in his own way. Somewhere I heard the statement that a person with age loses a sense of flexibility, the ability to compromise. Therefore, it is difficult to convince a person when he gets older, when the worldview is fixed on something specific. It seems to me that the key to a happy life is flexibility, the ability to understand and perceive what the other person is doing»
«We participated in the creation of the video for the city Day. Author – Dmitry Keshishev. It is simple, but in Zhytomyr looked very cool. It was about plants, factories or start-UPS, which seem unusual for ordinary Zhytomyr citizens. We filmed «Eurogold», where they make surfboards and sold «overseas» – America, Australia. We filmed about yachts that are also made in Zhytomyr. And it’s true! Yachts are sea, not for a black Grouse, maybe somewhere for Monaco (Laughs). Zhytomyr is not gray at all. It’s a stereotype!»
«I really like the statement of the band’s Aerosmith singer Steven Taylor, who claimed that when you’re humble, you always give other people the opportunity to see you as new. I would like to add that the «star» flicker is very fleeting, and therefore it is better to remain simple and modest. What we do does not pretend to be «stardom». It is rather a successful realization of the opportunity to do what you love, creativity. I always wanted someone to see it, to admit it. And perhaps the «League of laughter» – the embodiment of just such things»
«I am surprised when someone wants to take a picture with me. Of course, it’s very nice, but always laughs: «No, I just look like that guy». By the way, in the team I’m not the Central actor, I have a slightly different role – «handout». But if you know, it’s nice»
«I do not know how my life would have developed without KVN, it is necessary to remember the times when I just started. If teachers had a good salary, most likely I could become a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature. Me after practice in «Artek» it is the direction of one of the Crimean schools. By the way, it was very progressive at that time, with cutting-edge equipment. The direction came to the University, and at graduation the rector said: «And one Falcon flies away from us». (Laughs) Because I was studying on a budget, I had to work for a few years. Worked there for a while, and then called Vadim. If he hadn’t invited me, I would have worked at the school»
«As a student, I worked as a bartender, but knew for sure that this is not my «flagship» style. Then I spent a few holidays with friends, I liked it. It’s important that the people you trust like it, too, and they say, «Dude, you’re really good at this». Over time, I began to treat the celebrations professionally. And the turning point was 2009, when the head of the restaurant «Anna» Olga Stanislavovna believed in me. I can say thank you to her, because she gave me a platform, allowed me to work, and I got the opportunity to earn money. In this case, recommended goat and said, «good boy». This made it possible to believe in yourself and the hobby has grown into a favorite job»
«Fastiv is a cowboy town. So my parents were happy that I left town and started working. They positively reacted to my decision not to return, understood that I was surrounded by interesting people. I met Natasha (approx. ed – now that’s the wife), appeared in KVN, and my parents saw that I was all right. Though the classic phrase «drink you not feed» I also heard from them»
«I do not know whether I am ready to engage with young people, to transfer some experience. Probably, the person who will be engaged in it, has to be sure that already everything reached professionally. This is not about me: I still have a lot to grow and learn. Maybe it’s just a fear of responsibility, I don’t know. At least until I thought about it»
«If they called me into a movie, I would go. Chip in experience: any experience-a steep. The main thing that it was conscious and clear. If during the shooting you get the knowledge that will help in the future-OK. We often shoot small videos about our team, and during the filming we remember different stories that happened on the sites, episodes from the «League of laughter», how other people work, how to properly distribute the roles, how to organize the work. Having experience, it is much easier to implement the plan. So in the movie I would have filmed»
«What will I be like in five years? Without «tummy» (Laughs) has already started to go to the gym and even see what a slim look will soon be. I also see myself with a complete renovation and with some startup. I think that I will organize something that will function without my direct participation. I think this is the dream of any person»
«Perhaps it is banal, but when everything comes to a standstill or a lot of things piled up, my wife and I just get together and go to a restaurant to eat. It is important that delicious. We chat for an hour, have dinner, and I understand that everything is fine, everything is OK. Some unusual things, such as meditation or solitude to relieve stress, I do not – all banal. If you could just say there’s no stress… Because it becomes so familiar that you do not even feel where the stress, and where-no»
«The main thing is a positive perception of the world. The topic of changing paradigms and the importance of positive thinking is very close now. It is important to understand that in the comparative series you have everything «awesome». If you feel that you have problems, it is necessary to remember other examples which, alas, exist, and then everything comes back to the places»
«I’m from Fastiv, but in Zhytomyr I’m beloved more. I quickly realized how comfortable I am here, how many people I know. And now I can’t imagine how I lived in a small Fastiv»
