Childhood and youth
Alexander was born and raised in the Sverdlovsk region, in the city of Polevsky. As a child, Nezlobin studied in a regular school, where special attention was paid to learning English, which later became very useful for the comedian in life. In high school, the student became interested in music and even worked as a DJ.
After receiving secondary education, after consulting with my parents, I went to Yekaterinburg to enter the Ural State Economic University. At this university, Nezlobin became a specialist in banking.
But what is much more important today is that at the university the young man met the “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful.” Alexander joined the KVN student team, and then was invited to the Sverdlovsk city team. After graduating from a higher educational institution, Nezlobin got a job in a bank branch. But a few weeks were enough for him to understand how far this profession was from his desires.
After resigning, the young man joined the Yekaterinburg branch of the Comedy Club. At the beginning of his creative biography, Nezlobin wrote lyrics for other performers, and also served as a sound engineer, but later he began performing himself in the stand-up genre. In addition, Alexander tried himself as a DJ in music clubs under the name DJ Nezlob.
The comedian created a personal concert “Let's Tell the Truth,” which included both prepared monologues and complete improvisation based on communication with people from the audience. The premiere was followed by an invitation to Moscow.
The beginning of the career of Alexander Nezlobin
In 1983, almost in the middle of summer - July 30 - one of the Comedy Club residents, Alexander Nezlobin, was born in the small town of Polevsky, Sverdlovsk Region. His school years were spent in the northern part of the city in one of the best local schools No. 13. After receiving a certificate, Alexander Nezlobin entered the Ural State Economic University in order to become a banker in the future and always be in office.
But everything would be fine if it weren’t for Nezlobin’s craving for humor, which began to intensify during his student years, during which he was actively involved in the university KVN team, and then in the Sverdlovsk national team of Yekaterinburg.

Humor and creativity
In the comedy project Comedy Club, Alexander started together with Igor Meyerson, nicknamed Elvis, with whom he created the duet “Butterflies”. The guys introduced a new author’s section “Good evening, Mars” into the program.
Subsequently, Alexander began to appear on stage as a solo stand-up artist. His monologues were most often devoted to relationships between opposite sexes and were, as a rule, catchy, spectacular and extravagant. The Comedy Club resident placed the main emphasis on stereotypes and patterns of behavior. The comedian's favorite topics for speeches were miniatures about women, alcohol and stupid questions. The comedian also spoke from the stage about the Russian mentality, about his school years, and even sang “My Armenia.” The stand-up comedian dedicated one number to the work of the popular label Black Star Mafia, and in miniature “In Russia everything is the other way around” he talked about domestic cars and gay pride parades.
The popularity he won among television viewers led to Nezlobin becoming widely known in the country. The comedian was even included in the list of the 50 best public people according to the international research group TNS Gallup Media.

Alexander Nezlobin in the Comedy Club
One of the stand-up’s last performances in the Comedy Club program was the Rocking Chair number, where the artist talked about gym goers who think not about fitness, but about their appearance. At the end of May 2021, participants in the comedy show prepared a farewell episode of the program with Alexander.
In July 2021, Nezlobin and Sergei Svetlakov left the TNT channel and moved to STS. In an interview, Alexander explained that it was hard for him to say goodbye to his previous place of work, since his colleagues from the TNT channel had become his family. Humanly speaking, it was not easy for a stand-up comedian to take this step, but from the point of view of prospects, it was necessary.
At STS, the artists became producers of the new project “Standup Underground” and the relaunch of the show “Thank God, you came!”
Alexander wins over not only Russian-speaking viewers, but also joke connoisseurs abroad. The actor calls the conquest of America his hobby. In 2021, the comedian went on another tour of the United States. Nezlobin posts videos of his performances on his YouTube channel. The materials collected during the trip became the basis for the documentary Sasha from Russia.
In 2021, the comedian delighted fans of his work with the stand-up concert “Riga – Moscow”.
Stand-up comedian career
In November 2006, a branch of the Moscow Comedy Club opened in Yekaterinburg. Alexander Nezlobin’s career in the popular comedy show began as a sound engineer and creating texts for other authors. At the same time, Nezlobin worked as a DJ in music clubs under the pseudonym DJ Nezlob. Subsequently, the aspiring comedian began performing at parties in the Yekaterinburg Comedy Club with solo numbers.
At the Comedy Club
Each performance was filmed on video. The recordings were viewed by employees of the Moscow Comedy. The talent of the guy from Polevsky was noticed and he was invited to the capital. Alexander began performing on the Comedy Club stage in the stand-up genre. In his interviews, Nezlobin openly states that he came to stand-up intuitively and only after he began working in this style did he learn that this genre already existed. In the project, he performed his own stand-up comedy and worked in the duet “Butterflies” with Elvis (Igor Meyerson). Also, Alexander Nezlobin, in collaboration with Elvis, is the author of the humorous program “Good Evening, Mars.” Subsequently, the Ural comedian began to appear on stage as an artist with his own stand-up comedy. After several episodes of the program with the participation of Alexander Nezlobin, popularity came to him.
The monologues of the Yekaterinburg comedian are based on the conflict between men and women and the Russian mentality. Alexander Nezlobin in his speeches focuses on stereotypes and patterns of behavior of the fair half of humanity, which has earned him a reputation as a misogynist.
Movies
At the end of 2013, the stand-up comedian made his debut as an actor, and in his own author’s project. The comedian created the television series “Nezlob”, in which he talked about behind-the-scenes life in a comedic form. And, of course, he played himself. Interestingly, his real relatives and friends participated in the sitcom.
At the same time, the comedian joined the cast of the light comedy “Studio 17”, which was followed by the films “Friendship of Peoples” with Teimuraz Tania and Ekaterina Skulkina in the lead roles.
In 2014, the stand-up comedian worked on creating a script for the comedy “Graduation,” where the main characters were played by Kristina Isaykina and Viktor Grudev. As the author of the plot, Alexander wrote the role for himself. The comedian appeared in a cameo. According to the script, Nezlobin is invited to participate in a show program at a school graduation, but then the artist becomes the object of persecution by one parent.
The popular sitcom “Deffchonki” joined the actor’s filmography in 2015. Along with Alexander, Galina Bob and Polina Maksimova also played in the project. And in the series about the unlucky “literary black” “Poor People” with Olga Buzova as the main customer, the artist again appeared in the role of himself.
In 2021, Nezlobin acted as a director and screenwriter. Based on his own plot, he shot another comedy film, “The Groom,” in which he invited his friend and colleague Svetlakov to play the main role.
Nezlobin in the cinema
The artist’s film career began with voice acting for the Hollywood cartoon “Gnomeo and Juliet.” In the Russian box office, one of the main characters of the cartoon, Benny, the best friend of Gnomeo himself, spoke in his voice.
Afterwards, he appeared in one of the episodes of the series “Stoolia-17”, and in the same year his personal brainchild, the series “Kindly”, saw the light of day, in which he acted simultaneously as a screenwriter, producer and actor playing himself.
Nezlobin tried to show here the other side of his life at the height of his participation in the Comedy Club show. All participants in the show, as well as relatives of the actor himself, took part in the filming of the first and, as it turned out, the only season. The series turned out to be a complete failure. According to the KinoPoisk rating, it dropped to 2.6 out of 10 and, having won a lot of the most depressing responses, was discontinued.
In 2014, Nezlobin acted as a screenwriter for the film “Graduation,” playing a cameo role in it. And in 2021, his first and only directorial work to date was released - the feature film “Groom” with Sergei Svetlakov in the title role. We offer you a photo of Alexander Nezlobin taken during filming.
The expression on his face gives the impression that even then he did not like everything that was happening. Indeed, even Svetlakov’s charisma and skill could not bring the film success. In the KinoPoisk rating, both films did not rise above 4 out of 10. Although “The Groom” beat the box office - with a film budget of one and a half million, it collected about 8 million rubles during its release.
Personal life
The artist met his future wife in 2007 in one of the nightclubs in St. Petersburg. The girl's name is Alina, and she was brought up in a wealthy family and was educated at the University of Culture and Arts. 2 days after they met, Alina attended Alexander’s concert, and when Nezlobin left the city, days of waiting for a new meeting began. For about 3 years, the young people lived in two cities, then spent a short time in a civil marriage and in 2012 they legalized the relationship.
The young couple celebrated their wedding in secret to avoid resonance in the media. Only the bride's parents and Alexander's mother arrived at the celebration. The comedian's father missed the event due to illness. The young couple's honeymoon took place in Paris.
It should be noted that the stand-up comedian hid the change in marital status in his personal life as much as he could. According to the comedian, his monologues would no longer look so natural if the audience knew that this was not a provincial playboy talking about his mistresses from the stage, but an excellent family man.

Alexander Nezlobin and his wife
The artist could no longer hide his wife’s pregnancy. And he was also unable to keep the joy of the birth of his daughter Linda, who was born in Miami, a secret. For his family, Alexander purchased a comfortable apartment in Moscow, the interior design of which was undertaken by Alina. The apartment has space for a spacious kitchen, a room for children, a bedroom and a living room.
Nezlobin’s wife mastered the profession of a hairdresser and is now the owner of a chain of salons.
At the beginning of 2021, Alexander visited Gorno-Altai, where he lost 6.7 kg in a week. The artist announced this from his page on Instagram, presenting a photo for credibility. The man, in addition to a special diet, attended visceral massage sessions and pantopiric baths. Before going to the clinic, the stand-up comedian periodically lost and then gained extra pounds. With a height of 180 cm, his weight sometimes exceeded 90 kg. But after the weight loss course, the comedian reconsidered his personal taste preferences and promised to maintain the achieved result.
Alexander Nezlobin now
Now Nezlobin is not included in the ranking of the most popular comedians, but is still in demand - he is invited to perform at concerts and corporate events.
In 2021, the list of his directorial works was supplemented by the 2nd part of the comedy film “The Groom,” which was called “To Berlin!” The film is about the journey of Helmut's Russian friends to the capital of Germany. In addition to the already well-known cast, Hollywood star Dolph Lundgren appeared in the comedy.
The production company, created by Svetlakov and Nezlobin, released the autobiographical comedy series “I’m Not Kidding,” based on the life story of the Open Microphone winner Elena Novikova. Alexander, who became the producer of the project, said in an interview that they filmed the performance scenes live in the hall with real spectators in order to convey the stand-up atmosphere to the viewer.
