Oleg Zavodenko is a comedian from the breed of those people who are tired of fitting into someone else's life script. His concerts are the notes of an ironic worker who does not try to appear better than he is. Zavodenko's characters work, fall in love, quarrel, reconcile and endure the absurdity hiding where others see ordinary everyday scenes.
His standup is full of observations about fatigue: even if cutting your fingernails is a feat, it means there is something to laugh about and feel sad about. Themes include self-identity, family dramas, fears and loneliness in the crowd. Instead of triumphant odes - the philosophy of failure, when the main art is not to lose self-irony, even if life resembles a gray autumn. Zavodenko digs into details and does not give a chance to pathos, exposing what is usually hidden.
