Kirill Lopatkin is a comedian, already known to many at his young age. He is the owner of remarkable wit and enchanting velvet voice, thanks to which he gained popularity and love of a large audience.
“A man with a beautiful voice and beautiful thoughts”
"I will take up this matter," - raising an eyebrow and playing with baritone intonations, he will answer the offer to hold an event-action, wedding or corporate event, if, of course, it interests him.
Leading with great experience, working in the direction of KAMYUI (Beauty, Artistry, Youth, Humor, Intellect), columnist, in 2014 - torchbearer at the Olympic Games in Sochi, the “face” of the popular Henderson brand, “part-time” Director and captain of the Saratov KVN team, Kirill Lopatkin is known for his indefatigable energy and activity.
After talking with Cyril and doing an interview with him, one of the journalists called him “a man with a beautiful voice and beautiful thoughts.” It is difficult to disagree with this, especially if you read the showman’s life credo , in which “the big and wide soul” is proclaimed the most important quality of the artist.
Kirill Lopatkin, KVN: beginning
The KVN team “Saratov”, led by Lopatkin (in 2013 - the champion of the Premier League, since 2014 - twice the winner of the semi-finals of the Major League), is considered one of the most interesting teams whose sparkling, witty humor promises to conquer new heights in the future. Not the least role in the success of the team is played by participation in its fate as a captain. How it all began?
His friendship with KVN began at school, with a defeat that was remembered for a long time.
After school at the Saratov Technical University, Kirill Lopatkin played in the faculty team and soon became a captain. The discovery of the abilities of a parodist at his time dates back to this time: he was good at copying images, voices, and intonations. The debut of the parodist brought success: the role of "Mickey Mouse - cattle" brought the first letter for the best acting.
Then there was a difficult path of ups and downs, when an understanding was formed of the importance of KVN in his life.
And in 2008, the first serious success came - the team won the festival "KVN on the Volga" and received universal recognition.

In 2010, at a game in Sochi, the audience laughed and clapped Lopatkin and his voice, which later, for the victory of the team, had to be forgotten for a while: they had to develop their own style, learn to come up with smart jokes containing useful information for the audience making him think. That was their principle: from the SSTU team - only useful information!
Then he will tell about his voice to the journalists who in each interview call this distinctive feature of the comedian’s talent his “visiting card”: “This is a collective image of parodies of different people.”
When the young artist realized that he had certain “oratorical” abilities and increasingly began to use them during his performances, it was time to do special exercises to preserve and develop the voice. But he did not try to improve the timbre by eating raw eggs in the morning ...
Captain
Then, in 2010, the team won the regional league and received money from the government to participate in the Sochi 2011 game.
By this time, Kirill Lopatkin graduated from the university and began to work in a major in a large Saratov gas company, combining work with intense rehearsals.
The team already had a new form, but skill still required improvement.
And at the 2011 League Festival of Moscow and the region, the Saratov team “torn” the hall! The team was taken in the season, and this was the beginning of the story of their success.
Kirill calls the duties of the captain very difficult, and this indicates a high level of awareness of his responsibility to the guys. In disputes, the captain must objectively weigh the arguments of each of the team members. In addition, his responsibilities include organizing the process of preparing for the game, informing about news, communicating with management, sponsors. But he can always rely on the support of the guys.
"I’ll stop humming in 80 years!"
Like any professional comedian, Kirill Lopatkin answers journalists' questions about humor very seriously. In his opinion, a sense of humor should be an inalienable quality of every man. It is given with birth, but in the process of education develops. He is grateful to his father with his sense of humor: in childhood he listened with rapture to his talented, original jokes, “absorbed” them into himself. Now humor is his “way of life,” and more recently, a means of earning.
The joke, according to Cyril, begins with an observation that gives rise to an idea. Information is collected, processed through the prism of humor and served in a funny way.
They do not have a specific joke birth algorithm in the team. She is born in a collective brainstorming session, ideas are collected bit by bit, all team members take part in this. During the general discussion (in disputes, beating), they approach the result that suits the whole group.
A sense of humor, of course, helps in everyday life: sometimes a successful joke manages to smooth out the conflict, win over a person ...
For any kaveenshchik (athlete, dancer) at a certain age, a career comes to an end. Plans for the future include television and film work.
“I think I’ll stop humor in 80 years!” - jokes on this subject Kirill Lopatkin, whose biography is just beginning.
