Kristina Asmus, Laysan Utyasheva and other wives of Comedy Club residents. Semyon Slepakov: personal life Biography and path to success
Slepakov Semyon Sergeevich (b. 1979) is a Russian screenwriter and producer of humorous television shows and series, author of numerous YouTube hits, master of witty words, comedian and showman, author and performer of his own songs. He gained initial popularity as the captain of the KVN team “Team of Pyatigorsk”, then as the ideological inspirer of the sitcom “Our Russia” and the main screenwriter of the youth series “Interns” and “Univer”. He is a member of the author’s group of special projects on Channel One and is a permanent resident of “ Comedy Club».
Birth and family
Semyon was born on August 23, 1979 in the city of Pyatigorsk into an intelligent family. His father, Sergei Semyonovich Slepakov, Doctor of Economics, has the academic title of professor. Mother, Marina Borisovna Slepakova, candidate of philological sciences.
Perhaps Semyon would also have made an excellent scientist or philologist, but there were ancestors in his family who were directly related to humor and comedy. Genetics is still not the last thing; talents are passed on from generation to generation. Semyon’s second cousin, Yakov Aronovich Kostyukovsky, was a famous Soviet playwright who wrote scripts for the most famous comedies of that time - “The Diamond Arm”, “Operation “Y” and other adventures of Shurik”, “ Caucasian captive, or Shurik’s New Adventures”, “Incorrigible Liar”, “We sit well!”.
During his life, Slepakov managed to communicate with a talented relative several times; it was very interesting, because Yakov Aronovich, even at an advanced age, retained an amazing sense of humor and sharpness of mind. Whether such heredity affected Semyon or whether nature itself decided to bestow him with talent - one can only guess, but the child showed an excellent sense of humor from a very early age.
School years
Semyon studied at Pyatigorsk school No. 6, in the humanities class. Among the classmates, girls mostly predominated; there were only seven boys. Slepakov never missed an opportunity to perform some trick, to tease the teachers, to make fun of someone, especially the excellent students.
He was not particularly diligent at school, however, Semyon had straight “excellent” marks in his secondary education certificate. Senya (as Slepakov’s classmates called him) was one of those students who, perhaps, did not listen carefully to the lesson, looking into the teacher’s mouth, but always gave interesting answers, sometimes even in poetic form. Teachers really enjoy working with these children. Most of his free time from classes Semyon hung out in the yard with friends or played football, so much of school curriculum passed him by. But in high school, he pulled himself together and studied straight A's.
At the age of seven, the parents sent their son to music school and forced to learn to play the piano. But the child didn’t like the lessons; he couldn’t stand the instrument. IN adolescence Semyon began to master the guitar and play his favorite tunes - Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Simon, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Garfunkel. He was introduced to this kind of music by his dad, who often listened to the records of famous performers in the house. He also sang songs by Okudzhava and Vysotsky to his son.
In general, as Slepakov himself says, his father gave him the right things in life Musical direction. Semyon remembers well how the whole family watched the New Year's edition of “Song-88”, and to one of the compositions the legs of a nine-year-old child began to dance of their own accord. Dad then said: “This is a bad song.” The son tried to argue, saying that the melody was catchy and he liked it. Then the father explained that the words and music were stupid, and he literally spelled out the entire composition for Semyon on his fingers. In general, from childhood, dad instilled in the child a special view of many things, read him the necessary books.
Along with music, there was also humor in Semyon’s life. He loved watching KVN on TV, and in middle school he began playing it at school. The guy grew up reckless, he was not interested in romantic relationships for a long time, it was more fun to run around in the yard with the boys. Therefore, his amorous affairs did not work out very well, but Slepakov had no equal in holding cultural events.
student life
After graduating from school, Semyon continued his studies in Pyatigorsk state university, and at two faculties at once - economics and linguistics, where he studied French in depth. He studied well and graduated from the institution with two honors diplomas.
Slepakov’s institute friends recall that their entire student life was one big funny story. Semyon always amused his fellow students with various tales, some of which he learned from someone, and some of which he came up with on the fly himself. All their youth get-togethers took place in the dorm room of the “Nut Grove” dispensary. Of course, they did not take preventive treatment there, but drank, talked to girls, sang with a guitar, and wrote jokes. It was the dawn of their KVN youth.
When they went to KVN festivals, they were often asked questions: “Pyatigorsk, you are really a team from outer space and your scenarios are absurd. Tell the truth, write everything while stoned?” Slepakov joked: “We are writing after the kumar tea on straw, which the girls prepare in the dorm.”
And the girls in their institute KVN team appeared quite often, and they really liked Semyon. One of them, named Natasha, wanted to start a romantic relationship with Slepakov so much that one day she came to a rehearsal with a huge Napoleon cake, baked with her own hands in terrible hostel conditions. She made an inscription on top of the cream: “I don’t know you at all, but I fucking love you.” This act greatly impressed Semyon, but he did not meet with Natasha for long, as, indeed, with all his other passions.
KVN
After graduating from the university, my mother, who at that time worked there as a deputy dean, insisted that Semyon continue to study science. He successfully defended his dissertation and received the degree of Candidate of Economic Sciences. Even more than economics, Slepakov was fascinated by the French language, which he speaks excellently. Semyon even visited one of the French provinces and completed a month-long internship there. In the future I definitely planned to work in this country. He got a job in graduate school and began preparing to defend his dissertation in linguistics, but KVN ruined all his plans.
The team that Slepakov put together while still studying at the university began to show good results, step by step approaching the Major League. They won the Central Slobozhan League in 2000 and became finalists in the Ukrainian League in 2002.
Having entered the Major League of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club, the team “Pyatigorsk Team” immediately won its audience. There were no such teams then, and probably not now either. Each of their performances was unusual and original, they were always very funny. KVN fans adored the Pyatigorsk guys.
In 2003, at the KVN summer music festival “Pyatigorsk Team” in Jurmala, they received the “Small KiViN in Light” award. And already in December of the same year they received silver in the final of the Major League, losing to the most popular team at that time from Sochi, “Burnt by the Sun”.
For six years, Slepakov was the permanent captain of the team, and under his leadership, the Pyatigorsk Team became the Champion of the KVN Major League in 2004.
For two years in a row (2004, 2005), the team won KiViNa in gold - the main award of the music festival in Jurmala. In 2006, the Pyatigorsk Team won the KVN Summer Cup. In 2016, an anniversary game was dedicated to the 55th anniversary of KVN, in which the team from Pyatigorsk won the “For Resourcefulness” Cup.
Creation
In 2005, Semyon’s closest friend, the famous showman and comedian Garik Martirosyan, invited him to move from Pyatigorsk to Moscow. The very next year, 2006, on the TNT television channel, they launched the “Our Russia” project in the format of a sketch show. At the same time, Slepakov became part of the author’s group of special projects of Channel One, becoming one of the authors of such shows:
- “Spring with Ivan Urgant”;
- « New Year on the first".
Semyon truly felt famous after the television broadcast on Channel One. At first there was euphoria. After all, before that, we had to go through a lot during the times of KVN - the poor, useless provincial members of the club of cheerful and resourceful people traveled on terrible trains, ate anything at random, lived for ten people in terrible hotel rooms. And now they were paid money, and a lot of it at that. At first it was all about fun, buzz, drinks, casinos. As Slepakov says: “What else can you do if you are young and have a lot of money?”
Now Semyon has a spacious office, which in its design style is somewhat reminiscent of the office of the main villain John Milton from The Devil's Advocate. Subdued lighting, designer leather upholstery, expensive redwood furniture. Only Slepakov’s office is located not in a Manhattan penthouse, but near Petrovsky Park in the attic of the Moscow Comedy mansion Club Production».
But, according to Semyon, neither this large office, nor a comfortable lifestyle, nor a whole army of fans changed anything in his life. He, as before, watches the people, listens to their conversations, studies what worries people. The work of a creative person lies in the fact that one must constantly touch life, spy, eavesdrop, look around.
On television, Semyon produces and writes scripts for many humorous series and projects:
- "Univer";
- "SashaTanya";
- “Our Russia. Eggs of Destiny";
- "Interns";
- "HB";
- "Concerned, or Love is Evil."
Slepakov's songs are especially popular. True, the bard's cheerful clumsiness at first glance does not fit with the gloomy appearance of the performer, because Semyon is gloomy and bearded on stage. But underneath this appearance there actually lies a fountain of ideas and a subtle sense of humor. In 2005, the first album with his songs was released. Since 2010, Semyon has presented all his new songs in the Comedy Club show, of which he is a resident. In 2012, Slepakov’s second music album was released.
Parents creative activity Semyon is supported. Previously, in their intelligent family it was forbidden to utter obscene words, but now the mother calmly listens to her son’s songs and perceives nothing normally. Even the old grandmother Esfir Iosifovna attended her grandson’s performance and was delighted. Only the father can honestly express his opinion. And Slepakov jokingly calls his grandmother and mother his fan club; they are always happy with what Semyon does. Therefore, he doesn’t really listen to their opinion, since there is zero objectivity there.
Personal life
Semyon is of the firm opinion that his personal life cannot be made public, so he does not share the secrets of family happiness with journalists.
When Semyon and Karina decided to get married, only those people they wanted to see at their celebration were notified about the upcoming celebration. The wedding took place in Italy in the fall of 2012; it is this golden time that Semyon’s wife loves most. The newlyweds made every effort to ensure that photographs from their wedding did not become available to the press and social networks.
When fans saw Semyon’s wife for the first time, they unanimously noted the girl’s beauty and charm. Compared to the two-meter tall Slepakov, Karina seems childishly miniature and fragile. She is a brown-haired woman with very beautiful bluish-gray eyes. Karina is a lawyer by training, but now she helps Semyon in his work. She is absolutely indifferent to fame, so she always refuses interviews.
The fact of marriage had a great influence on Semyon. According to him, he is now doing less creative work, as he is in a hurry to go home to his wife.
Interests, hobbies
Semyon collects guitars, but so far he doesn’t have many. For a long time he could only dream of different guitars, and when the opportunity to buy them arose, he could not resist and purchased several at once, thereby giving birth to his collection.
Since in school years playing guitar and football, Semyon had no time to thoroughly become acquainted with the works of Russian classics, but now he would really like to catch up. I would like to read more books (Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy) and watch classic films. Therefore, his main dream is to take a year off and read and watch movies. The only question is when it will be possible to implement it.

Semyon Slepakov is one of the most successful professionals in the humor industry. Now, as a producer and screenwriter, he is releasing his next project, “House Arrest.” According to some reports, 38-year-old Semyon is the country's richest comedian - his income is estimated at $3.5 million. And Slepakov is certainly adored by millions, who quote his poems and watch videos of his performances on YouTube.
But the rich, as you know, cry too. Semyon unexpectedly admitted that he has problems with self-esteem and he turned to a professional psychologist for help.
“I talked to a psychologist here, he says that I have problems with self-esteem. And it seems to me that I rate myself quite highly. To which he asked: do you love yourself? And then I realized that no, I don’t love you. I’m very strict with myself, I rarely like what I do,” said Slepakov.
According to Slepakov, his wife Karina recommended him to go to a psychologist. “She was happy with everything, just at some point she got confused in my stories - and I tell her everything - and said that I need someone who understands all this better. I think she's just tired of listening to me. It’s impossible to tolerate having a fly constantly flying over your ear. There are people who take money for this, and they can’t brush you aside.”...
Slepakov married a lawyer named Karina in September 2012. Semyon does not particularly advertise his personal life. He rarely talks about his wife, but now there is a reason - after all, she worked with him on the new project “House Arrest.”
“I wanted her to understand where I go when I’m not home. It seems to me that she suspected me of something, that I was chilling out there somewhere, that I was leading a bohemian lifestyle. But when she came to us, she saw me running around the set with bulging eyes, how I was screaming for 12 hours straight... My wife looked and said: now everything is clear to me. In general, this was in order to become even closer to each other,” Slepakov shared.
Semyon Slepakov studied at the Faculty of French at Pyatigorsk University, and at the same time, for a long time, persistently stormed the major league of KVN. The victory of the Pyatigorsk Team, of which Semyon was the captain, in 2004 allowed him to start a career in show business. He became famous as the author of truly funny and sometimes hooligan poems and songs as part of the Comedy Club project; in addition, Semyon is actively involved in producing. “Our Russia”, “Univer”, “Interns”, “SashaTanya”, “Concerned, or Love of Evil” - these are the projects and films in which Slepakov participated as a producer and screenwriter. “...Some people move by telling themselves how wonderful they are, others, on the contrary, by self-flagellation. I somehow have a cocktail of this. When something works out, I say: “Well done, Semyon,” Slepakov admitted to ok-magazine.
Personal life of Semyon Slepakov closed to the press, so when he married his girlfriend Karina two years ago, not a single journalist was present at this celebration. The wedding took place in Italy in a modest atmosphere in the presence of only the closest relatives and friends. Semyon never wanted his wife to have anything to do with the world of show business, so he chose as his bride a girl who works in a different field - Karina is a lawyer and is far from social life and bohemia.
Despite the fact that Semyon Slepakov diligently hides his personal life, it is impossible for anyone, especially public people, to completely protect it from prying eyes. For the birthday of his friend and colleague Mikhail Galustyan, Slepakov came with his wife for the first time.

Having become the wife of a famous artist, Karina began appearing with him at all sorts of presentations and other similar events, but no interviews about family life It’s impossible to get it from the spouses - they diligently avoid journalists.
Semyon Slepakov’s wife is much younger than him, but she takes seriously such concepts as husband, family, children, and in relation, the artist can be said to be very lucky. For the sake of young Karina, Semyon gave up his status as an inveterate bachelor and decided to build his own nest.
According to the artist’s friends, his wife is from an intelligent family, and they believe that Semyon is very lucky to have met such a girl. For a long time, Semyon Slepakov’s personal life was relegated to the background - he devoted all his time to his career, and somehow his relationships with girls did not work out - he was always reckless, made fun of them, and preferred communication with friends to novels. But the girls always liked this cheerful ringleader, and they tried to get to know him better, but the modest Semyon Slepakov’s serious relationship began only in his student years, when he studied at the Pyatigorsk Linguistic University, but even then he did not advertise his novels.
It should be noted that Semyon never suffered from a lack of female attention, but for a very long time he was looking for his one and only. All his relationships with girls were short-lived - he quickly became bored with serious romances, but meeting Karina changed his outlook on life and put an end to his bachelor freedom.
