Watch Vpiska on MegaFon's new tariffs: https://moscow.megafon.ru/tariffs/all/
Sergey Orlov is a cool young comedian and a resident of Stand-up Club #1. We're posting the full interview he gave to Vpiska for the episode about Stand-up Club #1. We'll tour Orlov's apartment (it's got a robot vacuum cleaner, tons of sneakers, and a skull), hear some creepy stories about the village of Deputatsky, and find out how much young stand-up comedians earn. Is Sergey jealous of the success of the show "What Happened Next" and the Labelcom merger? Why doesn't he like Garik Martirosyan's stand-up? Why does he joke about his mother's alcoholism, and what's his relationship like with his truck-driving father? How did he end up in a Baptist church as a child? Why do comedians need podcasts? And why does he believe stand-up won't go the way of battle rap and KVN?
