Absolutely everyone knows what KVN is. The world game, in which not only young people, but also older comedians takes part, ranks first among all comedy TV shows. The KVN team of the Russian Federation takes part in games with other countries. For some of the comedians, this is just entertainment, but for someone, over the years, it turns into a profession.
What is KVN?
The most popular TV show with a humorous bias at this point in time takes first place on television. This game is watched by young children, teens and adults. You can talk a lot about what KVN is and how it earned popularity. But every inhabitant of the planet knows that this is a good way to have a great evening and laugh heartily.
Universities, enterprises, various educational institutions have the opportunity to participate in KVN. Major League only accepts the best players, giving them more motivation to create new jokes and improve performances. The guys create their own miniatures, skits and interesting numbers on their own and quite a lot of people around the world make this laugh. The main competitions are:
- Business card. The team of participants is given a specific topic, based on which they should introduce themselves, as well as their own city. Of course, all this should be in a humorous form.
- Warm up. The jury, rivals and people from the audience ask certain questions to which participants must find the most ridiculous answer in a short period of time.
- Homework (from 3 to 7 minutes, the team must present some story, invented independently, with musical insets).
- The competition of one song (the final stage, where the participants choose absolutely any song, remake it in a humorous way and present it to the audience).
In addition, there are also video contests, as well as biathlon and triathlon. But they are not used in every game. Although the rules in them are just as cruel and only professionals can cope with them.
Prototype of the transmission
Some time before the moment the Club of the Fun and the Resourceful appeared on the screens, there was a similar program called "The Evening of Fun Questions". Here questions were asked to the audience and members of the jury, and, of course, humor was evaluated. In Soviet times, it was the most popular and fun show that everyone loved to watch, and many would like to take part in it.
Despite the fact that this program was very popular, it was broadcast only three times. The presenters decided to hold an interesting competition, where spectators were to visit the studio in a fur coat and with the New Year's newspaper of last year. But, unfortunately, they forgot to say about the newspaper when the contest was announced, so the next day the hall was filled with a huge number of people in winter outerwear. After this moment, confusion began, and the program was closed.
Humorous television shows at any time were in first place for family circles who like to spend time together. Therefore, KVN and its prototype gained really great popularity.
Leading
Albert Axelrod was appointed the first leader in the Club of Fun and Inventive, but after three years he left this game. After him, the place of the leader was taken by Alexander Maslyakov. At that time, he did not transmit the program alone, but along with the announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. It was after the arrival of a new leader in the game that KVN teams began to compete.
Due to uncertain circumstances, the program was closed due to incomprehensible pressure from the ministry on the organizers, but soon the game recovered and began to gain popularity. There was already only one presenter left - Alexander Maslyakov. Initially, he came to the game as a student, but now he is already an experienced host and humorist.
Rules of the game
Easy and fairly simple rules apply in the game. Each KVN team should consist of more than two people, and one of them should be the captain. The host of the game independently contests, adding new ones over time, in which all teams should take part.
Participants must joke in each of these contests and receive jury ratings (from 1 to 5). At the end of each competition, an average mark is set. Then they are summed up. And, accordingly, the team with the highest result wins.
