About the Open Mic Show

In the show open microphone» stand-up artists from all over Russia and neighboring countries will compete for the right to become full participants in the Stand Up rating project on TNT. To do this, the artists of the conversational genre will have to demonstrate all their talent. The structure of the project resembles popular DANCES: jury, young talents and mentors, recruiting stand-up teams.

The creative producers of the show “Open Mic” say: “All participants are simple people. different ages, sex, prosperity. We have a lot of bright characters that the viewer is not used to seeing on TV. In each issue, we will show the stories of these people, their fate, tell the viewer how and why they do stand-up.”

The show consists of several stages. First comes team selection. By the end of this stage mentors must form four teams, which will include eight people each. They will fight for the main prize. In the second stage, which is called duels”, stand-up comedians will work with mentors, together creating one number at a time. Two participants from each team will take the stage in each episode of the program. As a result of the performance, the mentor leaves one person in the show. Third stage - « Concerts”, and in it, also by the decision of the mentor, one of the participants leaves the project. This is followed by the stages of the semi-finals and finals, to which only eight lucky ones will reach.

In the very first episode, the creators of the show prepared a surprise for the audience. Roman Tretyakov will take the stage former member scandalous reality show "Dom-2" and ex-lover of TV presenter Olga Buzova. Tretyakov in his issue decided to talk not only about the intricacies of filming in reality, but also about the relationship with the star.

“It’s hard for me to talk about Buzova and about relations with her. People feel it, come up to me and say: “Look, what Olya has become, well done! And he conducts a TV show, and starred in TV shows, and his own clothing line! Where is she and where are you? Isn't it a shame that you once left her? It’s a shame that a person who is associated with stupidity in the whole country worked me to the fullest!” - admitted Roman Tretyakov.

Roman Tretyakov explained his decision to participate in the “Open Microphone” by the fact that he wants to destroy the myth that has developed about him: he is supposedly a person who, after reality, has not been able to achieve anything in life.

Show Open microphone. The final

On June 2, 2017, the final episode of the first season of the Open Microphone stand-up show was aired on TNT channel. Before the final of the project, which lasted for four months, nine participants left. From the best stand-up artists, the mentors of the project Ruslan Bely, Yulia Akhmedova, Timur Karginov and Slava Komissarenko had to choose the winner of the Open Microphone.

Finalists of the show "Open Mic" and the best comedians Russia became: Guram Amaryan(Nizhny Novgorod), Vika Skladchikova(Sorochinsk), Elena Novikova(Moscow), Swede(Omsk), Andrew Atlas(Rostov-on-Don), Milo Edwards(London), Sergey Detkov(Kyiv), Irina Prikhodko(Minsk) and Filimonov theme(Ryazan).

In the final edition of the Open Microphone, the mentors and the audience were able to once again evaluate the numbers of the participants in the show. As a result, Ruslan Bely announced that the victory in the project was won by Muscovite Elena Novikova, who will now perform on an equal footing with Bely himself, Akhmedova, Karginov and Komissarenko in a stand-up show on TNT.

The winner of the Open Microphone show, 47-year-old Elena Novikova, expressed confidence that, “than more women in stand-up, the better." By the way, Elena is much older than her rivals, but her mentor Yulia Akhmedova believes that this is not a minus, but, on the contrary, in the case of Elena, a big plus. After all, in addition to the talent of a comedian, Novikova has a lot of life experience, charisma and topicality, which he actively uses in his speeches. Akhmedova liked Elena's performances so much that in one of the episodes of Open Microphone she even broke the rules in order for Novikova to stay on the show.

The winner became known because the finale of the second season of the show took place. I expected another comedian to win, because there were brighter stand-up comedians in the final. But Artem Vinokur was liked by all the members of the jury, who sat at the final and replaced the mentors in it. These were four members of the stand-up team on TNT, they are known to all viewers.

Artem Vinokur became the winner in this season of the show, there was a very cheerful final concert and great performances. There were eight finalists in total, and they started with 80 competitors.

The season is over and now viewers will soon see the winner on the stand-up stage on TNT under the direction of Ruslan Bely.

Artem Vinokur was chosen as the winner.

My personal opinion is that there were stronger participants and they deserve to win, but this is the decision of the jury.

Artyom's speech was crumpled, he constantly jumped from one topic to another, and I could not quickly change from one thought to another.

Serving is good, but the material is porridge.

As a comedian, he is very good and interesting, but there were others who were stronger.

Maybe the second cousin put in a good word for his grandson, or maybe Artyom's charisma helped.

A well-deserved victory for Artem or not is not so important.

It is important that now we will see Artem Vinokur on TV more often, and this pleases.

Open mic 2. Artem Vinokur won: why? Is this a well deserved win?

Today took place final stage struggle between comedians, there were eight of them in the final. And each performance was very funny and bright. The audience probably expected to see a different name of the winner, but the members of the Standup team, who sat on the jury today, felt that it was Artem Vinokur who could bring something new to their team and voted for him.

As a result of the final, four stand-up performers were noted as the best Denis Che, who talks about alcoholics, as well as Ches from Lipetsk, Artem and Ilya Azorin, who talks so seriously that the audience just rolls with laughter. Now Artem will be added to the Standup team on the TNT channel and will delight viewers with his jokes.

Eight best stand-up comedians fought for the main prize of the project - a place as a permanent comedian in the legendary show stand Up on TNT. All the guys captivated with their brilliance of humor, but Artem Vinokur (St. Petersburg) won and became a new hero in humor.

On December 23, 2017, the final of the second season of the TV project on TNT called Stand Up took place and it was Arem Vinokur, who was the simplest and most original comedian and joked about his life, girls, living conditions, he probably bribed the viewer with the fact that, just like everyone doesn't have much leisure and talked about regular topics familiar to everyone. It felt like Artem Vmnokur put everything on the line and gave it his all, put his whole self into the project.

Artem Vinokur became the winner. He turned out to be the best comedian.

Artem from St. Petersburg will now be a full member of Standup.

Host of the Open Microphone show, winner of the Comedy Battle show, resident of the Comedy Club, debutant as a host.

How did it happen that you became the host of the Open Microphone project on TNT?

They just called me and asked: “Do you want to host a show?” I said, "Yes, with pleasure." At first, of course, I was scared, because before that I had never led anything. I thought that the lead was not mine. And now I tried it and realized that this is a new interesting experience.

Did you enjoy being the leader? Are you used to performing...

Yes, but it's a completely different world. I used to be a little dismissive about dribble, I thought it was very easy. In fact, everything is not at all like that, because you have to lead people, set the tone for a concert, party, event. To set a good standard for quality, you must be cheerful, feel the crowd, people, their mood. If it doesn't exist, you must create it. And it's very difficult. When you perform in the stand-up genre, you know where it will be funny, you go from joke to joke - here you know that it will not be funny. As a leader, you most often announce the rules, then explain them for a long time. At first, it was very difficult and unusual for me not to hear laughter. But then you gradually pour in, you understand how it works.

Were there any difficulties with creating this mood, atmosphere on the show? Let's say you're having a bad day yourself.

Yes, definitely. Sometimes you have to push yourself. This is the moment of professionalism of any artist, it does not matter - a stand-up artist, a singer, a magician. You should go on stage and people shouldn't know about your problems. This is work that needs to be done.

Do you prefer to watch performances by experienced comedians or beginners who are clearly talented?

I like the performances of all participants. I don't know why, but I'm starting to worry about them. Probably because he was often in their shoes. I myself am still not a seasoned comedian, I know what an experience, excitement is ... when, because of one joke that has not gone down, the whole performance is pouring. Therefore, when they succeed, I am only glad, whoever they are.

Do you interact with them backstage? Do you give advice?

Yes, we communicate very well. All the same people. Sometimes they consult, but there is no such thing that I am their mentor, teacher, patron and deity. It happens, and I ask them something - we all work in different styles, each is good in a certain area. There is no such thing that someone is a guru, and the other is nobody, we all share our experience.

Do you make up your own jokes on this show? Or use the help of scriptwriters?

We have a group of writers, but since I have a disgusting memory, more often than not something gets out of my head during the shooting and an absolute bacchanalia begins. As a result, we either rewrite or leave my impromptu. So this is our joint work.

Would you like to take the place of one of the jury members?

No, absolutely. As a presenter, I can say what I want, we can tease each other with the members of the jury - I like it. I wouldn't want to take the responsibility of teaching someone. This is a huge excitement. Everyone thinks it's easy to be a mentor - so you sit in a chair and you absolutely do not care what happens. No, they care about the participants. I wouldn’t be able to watch the one with whom I wrote at all - I would sob and tear my eyebrows from excitement.

You obviously prefer ironic jokes. Why?

They are sharp, very well remembered. They have a certain amount of negativity, but it is very small. Apparently, because of my upbringing and medical education. I just see how people are hooked by more ironic jokes - they not only laugh, but also think: “Yes, indeed, I also behaved incorrectly then.” It gives more response, you are more memorable.

Do comedians always rely on personal experience in their performances?

Most often noticeable when from life, and when invented. Personal experience important anyway. If you just sat in the office for 3 weeks and wrote some fictitious thoughts, most likely it will not arouse interest. I had such a problem - I somehow sat down in an apartment for several weeks and wrote out nothing. And then I went, for example, to the cinema, and I had a monologue even at the moment when I threw out the remnants of popcorn. You need to experience strong emotions, live different situations and have a look at them. But stand-up is, after all, an embellishment of reality, and not an accurate retelling, not a presentation. When you convey your emotions, impressions, views, which are certainly interesting to the viewer, then you get a fascinating, funny story.

What do you expect from the Open Microphone project? What will he give the guys who decided to take part in it?

Many Open Mic participants mistakenly believe that the winner takes all and the rest take nothing. In no case do I want people who participated and did not win to get upset and quit stand-up. I am sure that this will not happen, because they are all great professionals and adequate people. You can't measure everything by one performance - you're cool, you're not cool. Every comedian, and every person, understands that there are always more bad performances than good ones. You can't be funny every time. I was at the performances of very seasoned, eminent comedians, when for 30-40 minutes it was frankly not funny. It happens. This is fine. This is the human factor. Our guys are now starting a big stand-up life thanks to the Open Microphone project.

Did you have any favorites among the participants?

Yes, but I wouldn't like to say who. Because I know that they will read this interview. Unless, of course, you are deceiving me by deciding to just chat with me and publish it.

What qualities, in your opinion, should a participant in the Open Microphone show dream of winning?

He must understand that in case of victory, one should not rejoice too much. When I won the Comedy Battle, I was very upset, because I understood that in a week I had to write a new monologue, instead of going with everyone to celebrate, play tricks, go crazy, indulge in bacchanalia and the apotheosis of moral horror, decompose and have fun. I had a huge job ahead of me. But I think they are all great fellows, and each of them will be ready for this. They will be delighted, but this will not blind them - they will continue to plow. And they will all succeed.

Why should TNT viewers watch Open Mic? How is it different from the StandUp show?

There is a major difference that we all really dislike. I don't like it when humor is made into a competition. Naturally, this is a plus, because the level in the face of strong competition increases greatly. You put more golden bolts into the performance, you want to make you laugh more often than to immerse yourself in your atmosphere and just please the audience. You start to worry more, and people who sit in the hall and watch the competition also begin to appreciate the humor, although this should not be. But within the framework of the show, apparently, it is necessary. But after winning this show, it lets you go. You go to the open hall of the Stand Up show on TNT, where no one evaluates you, but people just want to have fun.

Sasha Grishaev from Kazan reached the semi-finals of the Open Microphone show.

New project TNT is not just a talent show, but a way to find new heroes in humor. The winner of the season becomes a permanent member of the Stand Up show. Stand-up comedian monologues in Open Mic are almost always based on real life and experiences. There are no taboo topics in this show - only truth, only humor, only stand-up.

A Kazan participant in the new season of the Open Microphone show admitted that he started doing stand-up about four years ago:

It was somehow boring, and I decided to add a little comedy to own life. In principle, I was little familiar with KVN. Most of what I saw was kept by friends on computers in the “jokes” folder. I didn’t watch TV, I always preferred movies.

Do you set goals for yourself as a stand-up comedian? For example, to give a concert in three years?

I love to talk. And comedy. I want to become better. And to pay more. Everyone wants to give a concert. Not even because it is a holiday of selfishness, but because if you were able to listen and laugh for an hour, you are not so bad.

Do you communicate with the guys from the team outside the set? How is the relationship with the mentor?

On the set - yes, not with everyone in life, but I think if I write “hello” to someone, they will answer me. I know that I can write to Ruslan at any time, but I don’t really use it. I still like to write myself. Once I asked his opinion, we discussed it, in the end everything remained as it was. Think we got more feedback from each other when they went to smoke, but it was not work with a mentor. These were conversations in a smoking-room.

How do you feel when a joke doesn't work?

Nothing. I just think it needs more work. My very first performance was a success. I was relieved, because until the last moment I did not know what to talk about and how it generally looks.

What was your first monologue about?

I tried to find a topic for a long time, like I even found something. But the next day I went to work, went to a tobacco shop, and there was no product there. I thought they were closing, but they just hid the cigarettes, thus protecting children from smoking. That's what it was about in the end.

When you are on stage, is it fun, work or a test?

Depends on the scene. When the big hall, then pleasure. Open mics work. Sometimes you want to go, sometimes you don’t, but you need to make jokes funny so that you can later convey to great hall. But weddings and corporate parties are tests. I think that people who come up with the idea that inviting a stand-up comedian to a wedding, especially one like me, is an amazing idea, should undergo a mental examination. They have something wrong with the perception of reality.
