Elena Novikova

Elena Novikova, a former theater and film actress, director, is considered the most "mature" comedian on Russian television: at the age of 47 she became the winner of the Open Microphone project, and now she is one of the permanent residents of the Stand Up show on TNT. In her monologues, Elena touches upon the topics of age, raising children, and a free lifestyle.

Elena Anatolyevna Novikova was born on January 3, 1970 in Donetsk, Ukraine.

Frank and reliable stand-ups reveal few facts from the artist's biography. In 1986, the girl graduated from school number 51, and at the age of 17, leaving her parents in Donetsk, she moved to Moscow to build a creative career. In 1993 she graduated from the acting department of the Studio School at the Moscow Art Theater, then - the course of Yuri Eremin.

A year before graduating from the Studio School, Elena made her film debut, starring in a cameo role in the short film "The Seagull" based on the comedy of the same name by Anton Chekhov. In the center of the plot is a young actress who plays Nina Zarechnaya in the play. The girl mystically faces the same problems as her heroine.

In 1998, Novikova entered the service at the Pushkin Moscow Drama Theater, where she worked until 2004. During this time, the actress was remembered by the audience in the roles of Dora from the play "Terrorists" by Yuri Eremin, Helen directed by Kirill Serebrennikov "Explicit Polaroid Pictures", Courtney Love in "Nirvana" by Yuri Grymov.

Elena did not seek to build a career in television, but in parallel with her performances in the theater she starred in films and TV shows, mainly in supporting roles. The actress can be seen in the TV projects "Turkish March" and "The Diary of a Killer" (2002), "Reflections" (2004), "Icon Hunters" (2005), in the films "Wedding" (2002), "The Best Film" (2007 ) and "A Very Russian Detective" (2008).

Bored of the game, Elena left the drama theater as an actress and took up teaching, and in 2005 she directed the play "Galka Motalko" based on the play by Natalia Vorozhbit. Events are developing in the era of the USSR. Galka Motalko, female athlete, lives in a sports boarding school.

Like her “classmates”, she trains, gives all the best in competitions, but still remains as if out of the world, alone, without friends. It is also difficult to establish contact with the environment for Galka because there are ill-mannered adolescents around who sniff glue, swear, and are sexually active. Together with them, the girl will have to experience her first love, taste alcohol and experience betrayal.

“Galka Motalko”, which premiered on the stage of the Center for Drama and Directing, did not fall in love with theater critics. They noted that “not every actor-enthusiast is suitable for directing,” meaning Elena Novikova's insufficient experience as a stage director. After a long break, in September 2016, the actress starred in the TV series Olga. Elena played the role of Tatiana, mother of Andrei Malyshev (Sergei Romanovich), husband of the heroine's daughter Yana Troyanova.

Disappointed in acting, Elena and her colleagues, sharp-tongued, decided to create a middle ground between the theater and a humorous club. So in 2015, on the basis of the Center. Meyerhold's "Stand Up ZIMmermann" appeared. Novikova became not only the ideological inspirer of the project, but also a bright participant.

From year to year, Elena gained experience, telling jokes to Muscovites and residents of the regions, and in January 2017 she came to the casting of the Open Microphone project on TNT.

According to the actress's personal confessions, on the way to the Comedy Club Production office, she repeatedly tried to turn off - she was so afraid to be on stage. But her television debut as a comedian was successful: Novikova got into the team of mentor Yulia Akhmedova.

In an interview with the Burning Heads YouTube channel, Elena shared that she had previously watched the work of “the only girl in Stand Up,” as Ruslan Bely, the host of the show, calls Akhmedova.

After Elena's victory in the first season of Open Microphone, Akhmedova ceased to be the “only girl”: Novikova became a permanent member of the “Stand Up” show on TNT. Her poignant monologues are devoted to family relationships, acting past, but the main theme is age. Elena is the most "mature" participant in the project, at the time of her appearance in "Stand Up" she was 47 years old.

After entering the world of humor, Novikova's life, according to her own confessions, changed dramatically, there was no time left for theatrical and film projects.

Personal life is one of the main topics for jokes in Elena's monologues. The woman has gone through two divorces, since 2002 she has been married to her third husband. Together they are raising two children: Daniel and Vasilisa. There is no exact information about the dates of their birth, however, it is known from the actress's stand-ups that in 2018, the son graduated from school, and the daughter went to grade 1.

Only Vasilisa appears in the photos that the comedian posts on Instagram. Daniel works behind the scenes: he helps his mother write speeches, corrects jokes.

In August 2018, TNT released the sixth season of the "Stand Up" show, in which Elena Novikova took a solid position. According to the personal confessions of the actress, she is faced with the task of writing a monologue at least 10 minutes long once a month. In the subject matter, a woman adheres to a familiar course: raising children, age and relationships, prefers not to touch on what she does not know about, for example, politics.

In November of the same year, the third season of the series "Olga" started, and Elena Novikova remains among the supporting actors.
