STAROVOITOVStas

Stas Starovoitov is a “pioneer” of Russian stand-up, which is a fairly new direction in the comedy genre for our country. The man’s signature humor is jokes on the topic of family relationships: about his wife and daughter, and, of course, about his mother-in-law. It is not surprising that Stas began to be called the “family comedian.” Over time, Starovoitov decided to somewhat expand the scope of his jokes, master other niches of humor and change his image, already familiar to the audience.


Stas Starovoitov

The future comedian was born in 1982 on October 11 in the village of Bachkar, Tomsk region. The early years of Stas' life were spent in the village. When Starovoitov was very young, his parents decided to separate, despite the divorce of his father and mother, the child’s childhood was happy.

Not only his mother, but also his grandparents were involved in raising the boy. Grandmother's care for her grandson led to sad consequences: due to excessive consumption of pies, Stas gained extra pounds. However, young Starovoitov was able to quickly get rid of the weight he had gained with the help of dancing, which he took up thanks to his mother, a choreographer. At the same time, the future artist appeared on stage for the first time and realized how pleasant it was to be in the center of the audience's attention.

Stas went to school in the city of Izobilny, Stavropol Territory. The young man was so keen on dancing that he planned to train as a choreographer after the ninth grade. However, after thinking, he came to the conclusion that he needed a “serious” profession, so after receiving a certificate, Starovoitov became a student at the Tomsk Polytechnic College.

After graduating from technical school, the guy decided to continue his studies at the Polytechnic University, where he had the opportunity to show his artistic talent in the KVN student team. As a second-year student, the young man came to the realization that his calling was still the stage. In 2003, Starovoitov decided to leave the educational institution without receiving a higher education diploma.

After leaving the university, Stas played in KVN for several more years. In addition, he was the author of scripts and jokes for the team. Soon the young man realized that he was tired of working in a team that limited his creative flight. So, Stas began to try his hand at other comedy genres.

2004 brought the man a move to Krasnoyarsk. It was in this city that Stas first appeared on stage as a resident of the regional Comedy Club, and after some time he became not only an artist, but also a creative editor in this show. However, Starovoytov still did not have enough money for a decent life, because by that time the man already needed to provide for his family, so he was forced to work as a copywriter in one of the Krasnoyarsk brand agencies.

In 2007, the artist again went to Tomsk, where he continued his career as editor of the regional branch of the Comedy Club. At the same time, Stas worked as the host of a television show. The man was able to start his career on TV thanks to the duet “Revolver”, the participants of which were Stas himself and his colleague Sergei Platitsin, whom Starovoitov met back in Krasnoyarsk. It was this project that allowed the man to get on central television. For the first time, viewers saw the performance of “Revolver” in the show “Laughter without Rules.” Soon the duo managed to reach the finals and get into the “Slaughter League”.

2009 was the year the Comedy Club era ended for Stas. It was at that time that the work of the famous English comedian Eddie Izzard inspired Starovoitov to try his hand at stand-up. In addition, the artist watched many concerts of such outstanding stand-up comedians as Martin Lawrence, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy and Louis C. Kay, who became a real idol for Stas.

Thus, Starovoitov became the author of his own monologues. The man began sharing his successful performances on the Internet, and it was there that the talented comedian was noticed by the capital’s producer Ruslan Bely, who invited Stas to become a participant in his new show “Stand Up.” Starovoitov happily agreed and moved to Moscow. From that moment on, a new chapter began in the artist’s creative biography, and Stas’s “family” humor was liked by millions of viewers.

Since 2014, Starovoitov has been an individual entrepreneur. Thus, the man formalized his activities on television.

The comedian's first wife was a girl named Marina Mamatova. Stas met his chosen one in Tomsk. The young man immediately liked Marina not only because of her external beauty, but also because of her ability to maintain an interesting conversation. In addition, Mamatova can be called a versatile person: having trained as a translator, the girl also received a diploma from the Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness. For some time, Marina worked part-time dancing in one of the nightclubs.

Fate brought the young people together in the company of mutual friends. At first, Stas and Marina simply communicated, only after a while a romance began between them. Starovoitov dated the girl for about a year, and then asked her to become his wife.

In 2010, the lovers got married, and a year later Marina gave her husband a daughter, Masha. When the artist moved to the capital, he soon moved his wife and daughter there. However, a happy family life lasted only a few years. Soon information about Starovoytov’s divorce began to appear in the media, which turned out to be true. Stas and Marina broke up at the beginning of 2021.

The comedian’s new chosen one is 27-year-old makeup artist Irina Kryuchkova. And although the artist himself did not give any comments about his new novel, Ira turned out to be more frank. The girl published joint photographs from her vacation on her page on a social network, after which everyone knew about the relationship between Stas and Irina.

Starovoitov’s daughter Masha remained to live with his ex-wife, but Stas continues to take an active part in raising the girl. And in 2021, the artist became a father for the second time: Kryuchkova gave birth to his son Ilya.

Stas Starovoitov continues to develop his creative career: the man is preparing not only new numbers, but also solo stand-up concerts. The man expanded his range of jokes from “family sketches” to topics of politics, as well as social and personal problems.
