Childhood
Eugene was born in 1945 in the city of Baku. His father was the mathematician Vagan Petrosyan, and his mother was Bella Grigoryevna. From childhood, little Eugene wanted to make people laugh. Admission to one of the schools helped him achieve what he wanted, although it was not easy in the post-war years. He used the opportunities given to him to the maximum: he participated in performances, coached acting, was engaged in amateur performances. The first tour became an important event for the Petrosyanov family, then he participated in the team of the club of sailors. On the day the tour began, Eugene was seen off by about twenty relatives.
Creativity, education, merit
In 1961, Evgeny Petrosyan decided to professionally engage in humor, and therefore moved from Baku to Moscow. He was able to enter the All-Russian creative workshop of variety art named after L. Maslyukov. A year later he performed on the big stage.

So, for example, in 1979 he founded the Theater of variety miniatures. In the 80s, GITIS received a second higher education, this time directing. Already in 1991 he received the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR, and four years later he was awarded the Order of Honor for services to the state and many years of fruitful activity in the field of art and culture.
Petrosyan became especially popular during the “Full House” TV program, where he regularly performed and fell in love with the viewer. There have been many collaborations with other celebrities. So, for example, everyone knows the humor of Petrosyan and Stepanenko. An important stage is the participation of Eugene in "Smehopanorama" (since 1994) and the show "Crooked Mirror" (since 2003).
What is Petrosyan today?
Behind Eugene is a lot of projects, concerts and television shows. However, despite his age, he tries to follow the innovations of the 21st century.
