The Ponomarenko brothers are twin brothers, popular Russian comedians. Take part in large quantities television projects, are regular participants in various festivals, and often tour throughout Russia with performances.

Alexander Ponomarenko and Valery Ponomarenko were born on June 13, 1967. Alexander is fifteen minutes older than Valery. For the parents, the birth of twins came as a surprise—the father was especially surprised. Until recently, he was in shock and did not believe what was happening until he saw absolutely identical sons in the maternity hospital with his own eyes. Even the height and weight of the boys were completely the same.

The Ponomarenko brothers with their parents

Boys with early childhood They took care of each other: from school they took exams one after another and always stood up brother for brother during various brawls. In one of their interviews, they said that even in the nursery, everyone turned to look after them - they always felt special. It seems that even now on the street everyone first of all pays attention to the fact that twins passed by, and only then recognize them as famous artists.

Valery was the first to show parodies. He always liked to repeat characteristic features friends and acquaintances, loved to participate in school productions. It was Valery who decided to become an actor and called Alexander to follow him. The Ponomarenko brothers often rehearsed funny skits with each other, which they then showed to their parents - they especially delighted their father, who worked as a bus driver, after a hard day at work.

Education

After graduating from school, the brothers tried to enter the Kiev Institute of Cinema and Theater named after Karpenko-Kary. Initially, they hoped to get into camera courses, but they couldn’t cope with the competition - the competition was too high. After that, they decided to somehow connect their lives with cinema and entered the Rostov Film Technical College to major in “film technicians.”

A funny incident happened at the technical school - the brothers, as they usually did at school, passed exams with each other’s support. For example, Alexander taught mathematics and English, and Valery taught chemistry and physics. Everyone took the same exam twice, but they had to study half as much. Once, while taking an exam in electromechanics at a technical school, Valery accidentally slipped the teacher a grade book that already had a grade in it, and the brothers’ deception was revealed.


After finishing secondary special education the brothers joined the army, but even here they were together. Ponomarenko ended up in a military unit near Krasnoyarsk. Only at the end of their service (the last six months) were they separated on different banks of the Yenisei - Valery went to another unit to work as a projectionist. In interviews, the brothers joke that this was the only time art separated them.

Career

After finishing his service, Alexander, who loved music very much, entered the music school, and Valery was about to try again to enroll in the camera department, but noticed an advertisement in the local cultural center looking for personnel. They didn’t hire him, but the director, Boris Pavlovich Tsypkin, recognized his talent and suggested that he take another look.

Having appreciated Valery’s impressive portfolio of parodies, Tsypkin invited him to go on tour. He personally wrote the text and together they rehearsed a program called “Both Laughter and Sin.” After some time, Boris Pavlovich could no longer travel throughout the country - his health did not allow it. Then Valery wrote a solo program and called Alexander (at first he was only a prop master).

Alexander, meanwhile, graduated from music school and founded his own country band. The Ponomarenko brothers pulled each other towards their favorite fields of activity - Sasha wanted to study music, and Valery believed that their future lay in the stage. In the end, it turned out that the younger brother was right. The brothers founded a duet, came up with numbers and miniatures, and since then have performed together everywhere.

Alexander and Valery Ponomarenko perform a comedy theatrical performance“Clone”, which was born from the pop miniature of the same name. The scriptwriter of the comedy was Oleg Solod, well-known in narrow circles, who wrote the best numbers for and other masters of the Russian humorous stage. The play was staged by Boris Uvarov.

Working on television

Valery and Alexander Ponomarenko started their television careers with a victory in the international competition “Cup of Humor 1999”. After this, Evgeny Petrosyan invited them to his program “ Crooked mirror" Before this, the Ponomarenko brothers managed to take part in Regina Dubovitskaya’s “Full House” program. Later in an interview they admitted that they left Full House because this program was Stone Age, and it needs to be updated long ago.

After participating in “Mirror,” they began to be invited to other projects. On RTR they hosted the TV Bingo Show lottery, and now they are in charge of the Morning Mail program, which has been broadcast since 1974 and has long become a classic. In 2013, the Ponomarenko brothers participated in the parody program “Repeat!” on Channel One. A year later, they appeared in a similar television program - “Variety Theater” on the same channel.

In addition to the programs mentioned, Alexander and Valery Ponomarenko regularly participate in the humor festival in Jurmala, where they show their best jokes. These concerts are usually broadcast on the Rossiya-1 channel.

Objects of the Ponomarenko brothers' parodies

The Ponomarenko brothers believe that in order for a parody to be successful, you need to approach each of them prepared - seriously examine the person, try to understand what he is like deep inside.

For example, the parody of the brothers is considered the worst on the stage:

“The essence of this person is not that he constantly, incessantly shouts: “Scum! Scoundrels!” Any student can easily make such a parody. However, with such a devil-may-care approach, a good parody will not work. This is far from the main thing about Vladimir Volfovich, because in reality he is tired, slow, old man, who was tired of all these political games a long time ago.”

For my long creative career Alexander and Valery Ponomarenko managed to show parodies of dozens of Russian and foreign pop stars, as well as some politicians and athletes.

Valery was the first to create a family. He has been living with his wife Elena for more than fifteen years. They have three children - all of them are boys. The difference between the youngest and eldest sons of the parodist is sixteen years.

The children are going to follow in their father’s footsteps, the Ponomarenko family clearly loves humor, it seems that it is in their blood.

Alexander Ponomarenko is also a family man. His wife Anna gave birth to his son German and daughter Lyubov. The exact ages of his children are unknown; the brothers try not to share such personal information. There are also quite a few personal photos on the Internet, but you can find hundreds of pictures of Alexander and Valery in their images.

The Ponomarenko brothers easily entered the elite of Russian humor: they won a humor competition and were liked by a large army of spectators. Now the life of the twin brothers is literally “in full swing”: tours, concerts, filming of “Morning Mail”. But as soon as the “pause” comes, the artists rush to their native land - to the city of Rostov-on-Don, where their families and friends are waiting for them. Alisa ZHURAVLEVA managed to meet the Ponomarenko brothers on one of these visits. - There is an opinion that comedians have sadness in their souls. Is this about you or do you try to go through life laughing? Alexander: - The comedian saves all his emotions for the concert. You “splashed” positive energy into the hall and “went into yourself” to accumulate strength for the next performance. It happens that after the sixth or seventh concert there is no “recharge”, the courage disappears. Maybe that's why comedians smile only at concerts and posters. As for us, we try to be cheerful at all times. Especially Valera, he often jokes... Valery: - Yes, there was a funny incident. A commercial was filmed in Novocherkassk in which I played the role of a hedgehog grandmother. I was given cinematic makeup, and no one could recognize Valery Ponomarenko. The filming took place in the park; according to the script, it was a forest. I decided to rehearse: I climbed a tree and disappeared behind the branches... At that time, people were walking in the park, walking back and forth past the tree on which I was sitting. I decided not to waste time and repeat the text. Now turn on your imagination... You are walking at a calm pace, admiring nature, trees, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice is heard: “Cat, you are my cat. Shoo, shoo...I smell the Russian spirit!”, you raise your head, and at the top of the tree Baba Yaga is shaking her finger. Alexander: - This is how Valera makes fun of her! - If Valera loves and free time to amuse the people, then what is Alexander doing at this moment? Alexander: - Oh! When Valera sits on a tree and scares people, I do classical yoga. Well, seriously speaking, Valera also loves sports. Valery: I prefer tennis and run. As they say: “if you want to be healthy, run, if you want to be happy, run!” We also practice dousing cold water at any time of the year. - So you prefer active rest? Valery: It varies, but mostly it’s active: we like to visit a gorge, walk to a spring, and take a dip. But sometimes laziness takes over, and then you can lie down on the couch with a book. Rest is, first of all, solitude. Even my family and I go to the sea in winter: there is no one, all the gorges are free (Laughs.). - Alexander, have you been given any unusual gifts? - They gave a goat, a dog, and a pig... God forbid, this year they give a live rat! Of course, it’s nice when a gift is given from the heart. Recently, after a concert, a fan presented us with a string bag of dried fish and beer. The man thought that we needed it, that he made us happy with his surprise. Of course, it’s nice that the gift is sincere (Smiles), but we don’t drink beer, we don’t eat dried fish. - Now about women... What should she ideally be like for you? Valery: First place inner beauty, on the second – external. I love watching old films “Spring on Zarechnaya Street”, where the heroines are naturally beautiful and modest. These qualities are important for a woman, and not last place takes wisdom. Modern style I don’t understand: protruding navels, profanity among young people, in particular among girls. This is of no use. Alexander: I believe that a woman should be the keeper of the home. Nowadays it is fashionable to live alone and raise children on your own. Of course, men influenced this behavior, but this is a disease of the entire society, it needs to be cured. - Do you often visit Rostov, or has life in Moscow already gotten too long? Alexander: We have families in Rostov, work in Moscow, so we spend any free time at home - in Rostov, and in this short period of time we try to do household chores, meet with friends, and teach our growing children about life... Valery : Yes, I have 3 heroes growing up - one is 17, he is going to follow in my acting footsteps, the other is still studying at school, and his acting talents are already showing in full swing, and the third is not even a year old. Wait and see...

4. Criticism

"One more thing interesting phenomenon- certain Ponomarenko brothers. Firstly, these brothers are extremely similar, and you can only come to terms with the idea that there are really two of them, and not one, if you are confident in your own absolute sobriety and clarity of mind. Secondly, I first came across them on NTV, in the humorous (as it were) program “Happy New Year”. There, again, they portrayed the heads of the country. One was Gorbachev, the other was Stalin. Then two acrobat brothers somehow unnoticed ended up on RTR, in a special edition of “Full House” for the old New Year. There they performed an amazing skit on the fresh theme of “fathers and sons.” So they are sitting next to a guy with a player and a old man with a beard. And they communicate without hearing each other. What follows are the following dialogues, which are delightful in their senselessness:

Grandfather: Where can I find metal?

Young: Am I a metalhead? Does Metallica bother you?

Grandfather: The sweatshirt doesn’t keep you warm.

Young: yes, and Hi-Fi doesn’t warm me up.

Then the “young” one talks about the Internet, and the old one hears “boarding school”.

Grandfather: Well, how was it with you at the boarding school?

Young: On the Internet? Cool! You can even go to the American President’s website.

Grandfather: Yes, the American president doesn’t give a shit about everything.

Gee-gee, ha-ha, knock-knock, sit, I'll open it myself. Interesting example how a joke can be born already with a beard.”

Ponomarenko brothers - biography

Twin brothers Valery and Alexander Ponomarenko were born in 1967 in Novocherkassk (Rostov region).

The boys were like two peas in a pod and always took care of each other, never hurting each other.

Valery's creative abilities first appeared. This is exactly him in quite early age He began to parade his friends and acquaintances, took an active part in school concerts, skits and performances, and soon included his brother in this.

After graduating from school, the boys decided to devote themselves to cinema, and made an attempt to enter the Kiev Institute of Theater and Cinema named after Karpenko-Kary, but could not withstand the enormous competition, and were forced to enter the Rostov Film Technical School, majoring in film engineering.

After graduating from college, the brothers went to serve in the army, and when they returned to civilian life, their paths separated. Alexander, who is fond of music and has considerable talent for it, entered a music school, and Valery, in whom an artistic streak was clearly visible, decided to move in this direction. Fate brought him into contact with director Boris Tsypkin, who recognized talent in the young man and offered to go on tour. Together with Valery, he wrote a program of performances called “Both Laughter and Sin,” with which they began to travel all over the country.

When Tsypkin was unable to perform due to health reasons, Valery wrote a solo program and invited his brother with him. At that time, Alexander had already graduated from music school and even created his own country band. Each of the brothers wanted to do what they loved, and, ultimately, they came to an agreement - they created a duet performing and musical numbers, and humorous miniatures, and began performing together.

And indeed, this approach turned out to be the most correct - the brothers quickly gained popularity among the audience, and also became welcome participants in many humorous competitions and festivals, where they often became laureates.

After winning one of these competitions - “Cup of Humor-1999”, they attracted the attention of the masters of humor - Evgeniy Petrosyan made them advantageous offer, inviting them to their program “Distorted Mirror”, especially since they already had some experience - participation in Regina Dubovitskaya’s program “Full House”.

After such success, television opened its arms to them in the full sense of the word - they became participants and presenters of many projects, in particular, they were the hosts of the TV Bingo Show lottery, and participated in the parody program “Repeat!” and “Variety Theatre”, and also began to host the popular program “Morning Mail”, which they still host today.

Many people are interested in where the Ponomarenko brothers live today and what they do. As we have already said, they actively collaborate with television, perform concerts, and, of course, remain constant participants in humor festivals, which are regularly held in Jurmala, where they perform with their best numbers, in which, as a rule, famous politicians, athletes, as well as Russian and foreign pop stars are parodied.

Ponomarenko brothers - personal life

Alexander and Valery have been married for a long time. As they like to joke, they have a huge family between them - two wives and five children. Valery's wife is called Elena, and they have three sons, and the wife of Alexander, who married a little later than his brother, is called Anna. This couple has two children - a son and a daughter.

Few lovers of humor and satire do not know the twin brothers Valeria and Favorite artists have taken and continue to take part in many TV projects, humor festivals and all kinds of shows on the most popular channels, they tour a lot with their own numbers and programs.

Ponomarenko brothers: biography, family

Parodists brothers Ponomarenko were born on June 13, 1967 in the city of Rostov-on-Don. From a very young age, the guys were “inseparable” - they stood up for each other in childhood fights and, taking advantage of their striking similarity, passed exams at school one after the other.

With passing exams, it happened like this: one of the brothers studied, say, chemistry and algebra, and the other, English and literature. Then everyone took the exam for themselves and for their brother. At school, the “scheme” worked flawlessly, but later, at the Rostov Film College, where Alexander and Valery studied cinematography, their scam was exposed. This happened during an exam in electromechanics, where Valery mistakenly placed his record book, which already had a grade, in front of the teacher.

The Ponomarenko brothers, whose biography interests fans, also keep up with each other in their personal lives - each family consists of four people. Both are married and have two children: Valery has two sons, and Alexander has a son and a daughter.

The beginning of creative activity

The children showed their creative abilities from early childhood. Even while in the army, where they served in the same military unit, the Ponomarenko brothers whiled away their free time playing the guitar. Their biography in 1991 was replenished with a new event, when they performed for the first time as a duet on the stage of some state farm club. But the debut was unsuccessful, which, however, did not break the parodists - they continued to hone their acting skills with teacher Valery Tsypkin.

As befits twins, the future comedians, the Ponomarenko brothers, whose biography is discussed in the article, had the same interests: they studied in the same circles and sports sections. Their parents even assumed that the children would achieve success in one of the professions, but not on stage, since they considered it just pampering. Until one day the duet of the Ponomarenko brothers appeared on TV screens in 1999, at the competition variety artists, organized by E. Petrosyan. At the competition, the “Variety Duet” nomination brought the comedians a joyful first place. After success at the competition, they were invited to the Variety Theater by the master of humor and satire G. Khazanov himself, where the Ponomarenko brothers began their professional careers. After this, the biography of comedians was inextricably linked with the stage.

Tours and programs of the comic duo

The humorist brothers tour the country a lot with their program “Look at Yourself!”, which includes the already beloved numbers “On the Train” and “Eagles”, as well as parodies - the duo’s strong point - on popular TV presenters: N. Drozdov, A. Maslyakova , and others. In addition to solo tours, parodists participate in concerts and programs involving famous music artists and actors. So, in the early 2000s. they took part in a whole series of concerts that took place on European and intercontinental cruise ships, where Alexander and Valery were able to meet M. Boyarsky, L. Durov, E. Vitorgan and other famous artists.

Participation in TV shows and programs

After performing at the “Funny Panorama”, the comedians attracted the attention of the audience and were invited to “Full House”, and then to E. Petrosyan’s “Curve Mirror”. This program became significant in the career of the duo: the Ponomarenko brothers, whose biography began to be replenished with numerous TV broadcasts, gained long-awaited popularity. They began to be invited to participate in such shows and programs:

  • "Izmailovsky Park".
  • "Parade of Stars"
  • "Hello, Russia."
  • New Year's "Blue Light".
  • “Boris Notkin invites.”
  • “Repeat” and many others.

Besides this, they frequent guests and participants in benefit performances and anniversaries of other artists (the duet V. Danilets and V. Moiseenko, etc.), with whom the artists brothers Ponomarenko became friends. Their biography is connected not only with participation in humorous programs and concerts on TV: they are TV presenters of “Morning Mail”. Also, Alexander and Valery are frequent participants in the regular humor festival in Jurmala.
