Елизавета Варвара Аранова: про отношения с мамой, покупку квартиры и юмор в России

It's very rare that I meet a guest on set, but that's exactly what happened with Liza. Of course, I'd seen her perform, and I was interested to learn how she writes her jokes, how she prepares for them, and what drew her to comedy. She's an unusual guest for us, and I hope you'll welcome her with an open heart and connect with her as much as we did on set. Today, stand-up comedians are the new superstars. They're developing a unique culture with its own unique characteristics and history. And even in the last few years, this culture has undergone significant changes. We discussed all this with our guest. We also explored whether humor can be divided into male and female, why stand-up comedians don't get star fever, and how relationships in this industry are built. And, of course, we also discussed personal matters—why Liza's mother didn't approve of her career choice, after which she decided to see a psychologist, and how she bought her first apartment in Moscow.
