Zurab Matua (photo below) is one of those people who always maintain a positive attitude in any situation. This person goes through life easily and with a smile. He is not afraid of difficulties, he just laughs at them. It is difficult to imagine that Zurab could connect his career with business or another field of activity. After all, this person already looks familiar in the framework of the comedy television show "Comedy Club", where he composes and sings perky and funny songs. Currently, Zurab Matua as an artist is very popular. He is recognized in every city in Russia, Ukraine and Belerausi. The jokes of this creative and resourceful young man sometimes turn into folklore. How could an ordinary Georgian guy come from Moscow and conquer her? This is exactly what we will deal with in this article.
Zurab Matua: biography
He was born on November 15 in 1980 in the sunny Georgian city of Sukhumi. As the artist himself recalls, he composed his first song and sang immediately after birth. However, what this song is and what it is generally about is currently not known for certain. Zurab Matua has been singing since childhood. His first listeners and overnight fans were his parents and close relatives. A guy just can't live without songs! Once in childhood, he felt that singing for him was like a means of a happy life. Since then, he sings to this day, not knowing grief and resentment, enjoying life and the taste of happy freedom.
Soon his family moved to St. Petersburg for permanent residence. In no interviews with the artist himself the reason for the move to Northern Venice is indicated. According to one version, the family decided to move away from interethnic conflicts between Georgians and Abkhazians. But this is a completely different story, which, fortunately, we will not dwell on.
In 1987, Zurab Matua entered the 166th gymnasium in St. Petersburg, which he subsequently successfully graduated from. The artist himself claims that he never set great goals in life. His plans did not include becoming a famous showman or singer. In his youth, he had only one weakness - Zurab loved the Italian television series Octopus. The only thing he dreamed about was to become like the main character - Commissioner Katani.
KVN
But Zurab did not shine the future in law enforcement. After graduation, the guy enters the St. Petersburg Higher School of Management and studies in the specialty "State and City Administration." He studied well and from the very first days began to think like a real Georgian.
Zurab decided to start his small business. Having saved the necessary amount of money, the guy invested in a company that was engaged in the supply of ice cream in St. Petersburg. It is worth noting that this business was in demand, and the poor student was no longer a completely poor student. But soon Zurab realizes that his heart does not lie in such a profession, he was drawn to creativity, he wanted to perform on stage.
Soon, the guy collects all of his friends classmates and offers to create a KVN team. Not to say that the career in the Club of Cheerful and Resourceful was successful, but not to say that it was a failure. For several years, Zurab Matua has changed many teams and leagues. It is worth noting that the future showman here won several cool cups.
In 2003, a Georgian joker was casting on the show "People's Artist". This contest was more song-vocal than humorous, however, here Zurab flashed his creativity. He could not memorize the words of those songs that needed to be learned here. Several times, speaking on stage, the guy escaped with improvisational jokes instead of a refrain, but for a long time it did not last. He was never taken to the final part of the project, saying that it would be better if he went to joke than to sing.
Career at Comedy Club
Having listened to the advice of the jury of the People’s Artist project, Zurab began to act. Gathering his close friends and organizing a humorous “band”, Zurab began performing in St. Petersburg nightclubs. Each time, the guys gained local popularity, they were invited to various institutions. Soon they are noticed by the producer of the Comedy Club - St. Petersburg community and are invited to speak at his club. The debut on the “club” stage turned out to be successful, and the guys fell in love with the public. The fame of their team reached the capital. Moscow producers of the Comedy Club metropolitan project were soon invited to speak to themselves. Here was the start of the career of a professional comedian singer.
