Fans of revisiting old KVN issues probably know one of the funniest teams of this exciting competition. It is called "Chekhov's Duet", and its permanent leader and founder is Anton Anatolyevich Lirnik, Ukrainian showman, director and screenwriter, born in September 1976
Biography
The future showman was born in the Ukrainian city of Kirovograd, where he graduated from a regular high school and entered the local government institute to get a journalist education. After some time, this educational institution ceased its activities, and Anton transferred to the Pedagogical University, to the Faculty of Philology. He successfully combined his studies with the work of a television and radio presenter. It was then that he became interested in the famous KVN game and performed with the popular Gulfstream team. After graduating from university, he moved to Kiev and got a job at the Inter TV channel.
Career
In Kiev, Anton moved to the Kiev team of the club of cheerful and resourceful "Yabloko", with which he broke through to Moscow, to Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov himself. By the way, Andrey Molochny also played in Yabloko. Against the background of successful performances, in 2006, Anton Lirnik and his like-minded people created the Ukrainian version of the Comedy Club. In parallel with this, a duet of Anton Lirnik and Andrei Molochny was created, which the guys decided to call the Chekhov Duet. Having gained experience of performances, the team made its debut on the TNT TV channel, where it showed the well-known number “Interview for the position of watchman”.
As it turned out, Anton is also an excellent musician, since at the same time he created the musical group Lirnik Band, which released an ironic and funny video clip about the Zhiguli car. And at the moment it has almost half a million views on Youtube.
But Lirnik is not going to stop there either. In 2013, Anton unexpectedly appears in the team of television presenters, in the TV program “What? Where? When?". Well, the very next year he tried himself in the role of a writer, releasing the book "Three in Thailand, not counting the dogs." A circulation of 3,000 copies sold out from hand to hand in just six months, and in one of the very popular and well-known online stores, the book quickly entered the bestseller list.
Personal life
When Anton Lirnik turned 22, his first daughter was born, who was named Masha, but, unfortunately, the girl died at the age of eight due to brain cancer. The marriage of the spouses did not pass this test, and they parted. After a while, the comedian married Valeria Borodina, and he again had a girl, who was named Sonya. Unfortunately, this family also turned out to be fragile - Lirnik's husband and wife divorced as soon as their daughter was ten months old. But if you look at Instagram, you can see that Anton loves Sonya, and they have a very warm relationship. For the third time, Maria Gorudko became his chosen one. And on April 12, 2017, their daughter Martha was born.
