Arthur Janibekyan - biography and personal life

Who does not know about the project "Comedy Club" today? The artists who take part in this show are idols for millions - for residents of both Russia and CIS countries. The author of this grandiose project is Arthur Dzhanibekyan - one of the most successful Russian producers. Of course, to achieve such heights in the Russian show business, he had to go a long way along the career ladder.

Arthur Dzhanibekyan: biography and origin

Well-known Russian producer Arthur Otarievich from the very day of his birth was distinguished by originality. It turns out that he was born on the rarest day of the year, or rather on that day, which occurs only once in four years - on February 29. His parents did not want to change the date of birth of their son and write in the column "date of birth" of his metrics on February 28 or March 1 (as many do in this situation), but left everything as it is.

So, the producer's birth certificate says that Arnur Otunyevich Dzhanibekyan was born on February 29, 1976 in the USSR, in the capital of the Armenian SSR in the city of Yerevan. Parents: father - Otari Dzhanibekovich Hakobyan, mother - Ella Eduardovna Hakobyan. As you can see, here everything is not the same as with everyone! If noticed, Arthur's parents carry the name Hakobyan, and he is Janibekyan. It turns out, according to the old Armenian tradition, that the grandson is given either a grandfather's name or a surname by the name of the ancestor, adding to it the ending "yang". Arthur's grandfather was called Janibek, so it was decided that from now on the boy would not walk with his father's name - Hakobyan, but like Janibekyan. By the way, this family name in Armenia is a dynasty of talented theater and filmmakers. Perhaps, it was she who left an imprint on the future fate of Arthur, who in his family had never had anything to do with these kinds of art. Arthur Dzhanibekyan's father was a high-ranking party official in the Soviet era, and his mother was a dentist.

Childhood and youth

After school, he entered the Economics Department of Yerevan State University.

KVN team "New Armenians"

The whole year (from 1994 to 1995) the team, which was renamed the "New Armenians", played in the seasons of the 1st league, and after becoming a finalist, went to the Major League. Thus, the guys from Armenia (including the now famous producer of Comedy Club A. Dzhanibekyan) became widely known in Russia and CIS countries. Until 1998, "New Armenians" played in the highest league of KVN, had many victories and defeats, but left, becoming the owners of the 1998 summer cup.

Carier start
