Childhood and adolescence

At school the boy studied enthusiastically. Science came easily to him. Vadim was a regular at the school drama club. Probably, this childhood hobby determined the choice of Vadim’s future profession. So my school years flew by unnoticed. Final exams have been passed. The matriculation certificate has been received.

And Vadim faces the difficult problem of choosing his future path in life. I want to become an actor. But an inner voice says that a man’s profession should be serious. Vadim firmly decides that he will become a military man. It successfully passes the tests at the military university of the capital of Belarus.

The young man diligently masters the basics of the military profession. 4 years pass and he is a division lieutenant. After serving for a year, Vadim leaves military service, realizing that this is “not his” occupation. Perhaps the impetus for this action was the fact that, as a cadet, Galygin actively plays in the KVN team. Vadim understands that he had to go to theater school. But you can't turn back time.

Humor and creativity

Vadim Galygin’s creative career began successfully as part of the MinpolitSha team. Then the team changed more than once, and the name also changed. The team was called “Treasure Island”, “It Happened and Worse”, and in the end simply “Minsk-Brest”. As part of Minsk-Brest, Galygin appeared in Sochi at the 2001 KVN festival. The team became the champion of the Euroleague, and captain Vadim Galygin was recognized as the brightest participant.

After the game with the Minsk-Brest team, Galygin was taken to the BSU team. This was a significant step up the career ladder.

But the real breakthrough in the comedian’s creative biography happened in 2005, when Vadim Galygin became a permanent member of the Comedy Club. As a resident, the artist presented to the public many wonderful performances made together with Timur Batrutdinov and Dmitry “Lucy” Sorokin, which brought incredible popularity to the artist. But unexpectedly for everyone, Galygin left the TV show and started his own business.

In 2006, a project by Vadim Galygin appeared, called “Very Russian TV”.

In 2008, viewers saw Galygin in the title role of the musical “The Phantom of the Soap Opera.” In the same year, Vadim became a participant in the television show “Two Stars,” which was broadcast on Channel One.

2009 turned out to be no less eventful with pleasant events for Galygin. In the spring, the comedian appeared as a judge on the popular project “Thank God, you came!” A couple of months later he began hosting the entertaining TV show “People, Horses, Rabbits and Home Videos,” which was broadcast on the Ukrainian channel ICTV. And in 2010, Vadim’s new author’s show called “Galygin.RU” launched on the STS TV channel. The program contained elements of a sitcom, stand-up comedy and reality show.

To the great joy of Comedy Club fans, the actor returned to the project in 2011. The best numbers of this period were performances with Garik Kharlamov “New Year's Eve on the RBC channel”, “Political talk show”, “The Secret of the Sphinx”, “Archaeologist”, “MosIgrushka”.

Viewers also remember Vadim Galygin as the brand speaker of the Eldorado retail chain, whose stores are open in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Participation in the advertising campaign brought Vadim Galygin the “Person of the Year” award.

In the late 2000s, Vadim Galygin began producing and created the EGO Production studio. The company's first project was the comedy "The Best Film." The film was created in collaboration with the TNT channel and the Comedy Club Production company. The main roles in the farcical comedy were played by Garik Kharlamov, Elena Velikanova, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Mikhail Galustyan, Dmitry Nagiyev. The film's distribution was successful: the comedy paid off sixfold.

At the same time, Vadim did not abandon previous projects and continued to act in feature films. In 2008, Galygin became the author of the script and performed the leading role of pathologist Jacek Grobowski in the comedy “A Very Russian Detective.” The film was created at the EGO Production studio. The farcical comedy is based on the plots of famous detective stories - the American thriller "Seven" and Agatha Christie's novel "Ten Little Indians". The main characters of the parody were the brave detective Johnny Walker (Yuri Stoyanov) and the young partner Bret Pidd (Maxim Konovalov). The image of a criminologist on the screen was embodied by Mikhail Shats.

In 2010, the comedy project “Our Home Store” was released, where Vadim Galygin played the role of a guest star advertising products.

In 2014, viewers saw Vadim Galygin in the fantasy film “The Secret of the Princesses,” where the comedian appeared along with Kristina Orbakaite, Sergei Zhigunov and Yuri Galtsev.

In the same year, Kirill Kuzin’s comedy “The Zaletchiki” was released, where the Belarusian artist got the role of director. The main characters - losers Lekha and Nikolai (Ilya Glinnikov and Gosha Kutsenko) - receive an invitation from filmmakers to play in the film. But on the set, the friends destroy the helicopter of the project sponsor, after which they are forced to go on the run.

Showman career

Vadim's creative path began during his years of study at a military school. He began to take an active part in KVN games held at city and regional levels. The artist really enjoyed this activity, so it was not surprising that he decided to quit the service and become a comedian.

The team that Vadim represented in the KVN games was called “MinpolitSha”. Over the years it changed to “Treasure Island”, “It Happened and Worse”, “Minsk-Brest”. At the KVN festival held in Sochi in 2001, Vadim Galygin was the captain of the team. Then he was recognized as the brightest participant in the competition.

Vadim Galygin takes on a variety of roles and is not afraid to joke on any topic

His charisma, ability to make a sharp joke and interestingly answer any question sank into the souls of many viewers and lovers of good jokes. After the games, he gained a devoted audience who followed the continuation of the career of their favorite comedian.

Personal life

Interest in those girls who found themselves next to the famous showman began to appear along with the growth of popularity in the Comedy Club.

Vadim Galygin’s personal life consists of two official marriages. Both chosen ones are Vadim’s fellow countrymen. The first wife is Belarusian model Daria Ovechkina. Dasha left her modeling career and went with her lover to Moscow. In this union, Vadim’s daughter, Taisiya, was born. But then the relationship began to fall apart at the seams. Rumors about the showman's infidelities spread in the tabloids. Photos of Galygin appeared along with various beauties.

Perhaps it was gossip, which abounds around famous people. But Daria did not want to endure such a life and put an end to the relationship after 7 years of marriage. The girl met a businessman from Odessa and started a new life.

Soon a new lover appeared in Vadim Galygin’s life - Belarusian singer and model Olga Voinilovich, who became his second wife. The marriage produced a son, Vadim.

In 2014, Vadim Galygin was awarded a certificate of honor from the President of the Russian Federation.
