You know how many lasted famous monologue "On Beauty" was still odessite Yanislava Levinson? Eleven and a half minutes. Three-quarters of that time took delight the audience wept with laughter. The audience was lying in the truest sense of the word, including a jury member Gary Kasparov, conveniently fell off his chair. In the same game we saw and which later became a classic scene-a parody of "The venue can not be changed." Also memorable Blotter by the same "professional beauty," Levinson, all subdued "hunchback" in the boots, head of the repair team teleatele "Black and white cat", the future star of stage and television, Oleg Filimonov.

Two Star fell on the palm

Of the top ten joke "Gentleman show"

They talked about everywhere up to the public toilets and tram stops. About these newspapers, because their editors Drink swore with his superiors, they learned on the streets and haunted adoration - two gentlemen with traces of Odessa on the face and the soul became a phenomenon, as was once the best player of the first KVN. Now, this can not have happened - not the time of the court, given the scale of the reaction of viewers.

• Popularity consists of two parts, - says Oleg Filimonov. First, when you know, and everything is very good. Second, when you know, and not all very good, that is, adhere to want to touch. In general, of course, nice to be popular, when before you open a lot of doors, easier to solve everyday problems.

Path-track Sir Levinson and Sir Filimonov, after they otkaveenilis seemingly parted forever: Ian has successfully developed the tourist business in Israel, and Oleg became a central (and very large!) Figure in the new humorous program "Gentleman show" . She came up and released in teleplavanie A.Tarasul not suggesting that this is not the end.

• Immediately after the OIO in my life was a stage, - says Oleg .  - The first program - "Drink opens the heart" (the game is not just let go!), And the second was already nothing to do with the "heroic past" and was called "The meeting continues" .  And then it began the "Gentleman show" .  The story of the closure of the program, which excited many a year ago, was nothing more than a "public relations" action .  We went to the RTR, which began back then and where .  The decision to leave has now been accepted by us for various reasons, do not remember them .  We have no one blew .  We realized that, left, will have to change quite dramatically the shape and direction, and I did not want to, because the product is in demand .  As the viewer relates to us is still great interest, we have created a program of "Filimonov and the company," which is now showing in Russia STS .  This is a modified version of the "Gentlemen", where the same column, the same characters, but there are changes .  I, for example, there is a little bit different .  

Perhaps, there is nothing strange and random is that over time, Yan Levinsohn and Oleg Filimonov played together again - on television and on the stage. At this time - the theater. This month, we will see them in the play "Red City, or New Odessa Stories", the prime minister has already taken place in Odessa, New York and Chicago. With them on stage is another veteran, an old friend and colleague Igor Kneller.

• George Golubenko wrote "New Odessa stories, - says Oleg Filimonov. - First came the TV version, Igor Kneller was a director, Ian read. And then there was the idea to make the play. It was written by music, created the scenery, invented scenario moves. I was invited as an actor, and turned the play for three, the center of which the main character - Ian, and we helped him. Why I wanted to take part in it? First of all, because of the beautiful literary material. And, besides, it's my close friends, I like to These work we began together - Drink, stage, television filmed together and now withdrawn. We are not just colleagues - friends for life.

From the annals of "Gentleman show":

Odessa communal apartment. Night. Way along the corridor Semen Markovich - the toilet itch. Suddenly - Thud! - With some drops on a shelf bag rice. Sema frightened stuffed bag in place, sneaks on. It is turning the corner - bam! - With mezzanine drops a bag of flour. Who served and came to himself, the poor man continues on his way. That cherished door. Open, and then ... well, drop a bag of sugar. Markovic catch him, "Lord, if you are, tell me, when will this hunger Psychology and physiology of hunger - the two sides of the same coin   end ?! "
