Probably everyone knows the duet named after Chekhov. These guys are able to laugh, cheer up in seconds. Surprisingly, they invent all their miniatures on their own, and for a second - more than 800. In terms of volume, they have already "surpassed" the most famous work of Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace." If you are ardent fans of this duet or, conversely, you first hear about them, then this article is for you. I would like to talk about Andrei Milk. Let's get started!
Andrey Molochny: Comedy Club
As already mentioned, Andrei Molochny performs brilliant performances with his partner Anton Lirnik. His game can instantly cause an explosion of positive emotions in the hall. Bet you don't know much about your pet? Let's plunge into the life of a resident.
Childhood and youth
Andrei Molochny was born in Korosten, in the Zhytomyr region. After graduating from school, he entered the Agricultural Institute in Kiev. Like all students, he lived in a dormitory, received a small scholarship, and even managed to put off a gift for his mother. He graduated with honors, wrote a Ph.D. thesis on the beef market, but did not finish it. The brilliant and sparkling whirlpool of show business spun him.
Humorous career
Andrei Molochny first appeared on stage at school. He says that he liked to give performances to classmates at recess. At home, he often watched KVN, knew the names of almost all the teams and memorized numbers by heart, so that later he would show them to friends. Even then, they vied with one another that the theater institute was waiting for him, but Andrey chose a different path. And then he returned to his vocation - creativity.
While studying at the university, he played in various KVN teams: “On the Ears”, “NAU” and others. Some of them were participants in the major league of Ukraine. Without modesty, he says that he was both the center of creative activity, and the actor, and the leader, and the soul.
In the spring of 2006, Andrei Molochny, together with teammate Anton Lirnik, decided to create a Chekhov Duet. Few people know that it was originally planned to give it another name - a duet named after Lenin, but it turned out "DieCh". Undoubtedly, this creative tandem can be called the foundation of the entire Ukrainian “Comedy Club”. And in the summer of 2006, the guys became residents of the Moscow Comedy Club, where they work now, being one of the most successful and famous duets. They starred in more than 100 issues of this famous comedy show.
By the way, the Ukrainian version was published all the same in 2006 on the Inter channel and lasted until 2010. It should be noted that Andrei Molochny not only acted as an artist in the show, but also was its chief editor.
Acting and producing
2 years after starting work at Comedy, he released the sketch show “Fine Ukraine”, where he became an author, actor and producer. There he works with a long-time acquaintance Sergei Pritula. Viewers saw 100 issues of the project.
In 2009, Andrei plays a major role in the film “Figaro”, where he works with the famous actor Ivan Okhlobystin. In the spring of 2010, on one of the Russian TV channels, a new project, the Muscovites, was released, where Andrei Molochny played a major role.
In 2010, the Comedy Club in Ukraine closes, and Dairy comes up with an updated version of the stand-up show Real Comedy. Duet them. Chekhov becomes his honorary resident. Anton Lirnik became the director, and Andrey became the general producer. Filming takes place at the studio "Dairy Production". We think it’s not worth adding who is its founder. The show is broadcast on two channels at once and for a year and a half is gaining great popularity.
Of the significant works of the Molochny studio, it is worth noting the historical series “Ruriks,” where, of course, there was a place for humor. 20 episodes aired. Andrei says that the channel’s leadership did not understand what kind of program they had in their hands. And he adds that he is ready to develop stories for the continuation of the series, if any channel is interested in this.
Personal life
Andrew received some benefit from his studies: he met his love and his future wife - Natalia. The wife of Andrei Molochny is not a media person and visited her husband’s performance only once, and then at the five-year anniversary of the duet in 2011. Our hero claims that his wife is his true love. Pure feeling, according to Andrew himself, was the key to their happy family life.
Natalya gave birth to a comedian four sons, and he himself considers children the main happiness in his life. He successfully divides time between career and family.
Today, the duet in general and Andrei Molochny himself have a lot of fans who are sure that there is nobody better than them. The guys themselves are constantly expanding their audience and geography of concerts. Well, it remains to wish them only prosperity and new projects!
