Becoming an artist
Anton Mygal is a talented Ukrainian comedian, screenwriter, founder of the Minipunks team and a participant in many other successful projects. Anton is the editor of the First Poltava League of the KVK, the star of the Stand-up show on the YouTube channel Pershyi and the screenwriter of the famous comedy series Curators from the Mamakhihotala studio. Anton began his career in humor as part of the KVK team. As the artist recalls, he brought two chairs onto the stage and that was it. Later, the guy was tasked with presenting a joke. It was literally two lines, but they turned out to be funny. Anton already felt positive feedback from the audience and wanted to develop his humor further.
The future comedy star graduated from the university in Poltava. Anton received an education in the field of economic cybernetics. However, after completing his studies, the young man clearly understood that he did not want to associate his future with the specialty he had received. During his university years, Anton was a member of various KVK teams that participated in festivals and other entertainment events. It was then that the well-known today "Minipunks" team appeared, which conquered the stage of the popular humor festival "League of Laughter".
Creative path

The artists regularly organized concerts, giving performances about once a month. In addition, the comedians collaborated with clubs from other cities, in particular, Kharkiv and Dnipro. Over time, the initiatives grew into a new project, which soon appeared on television. So a wide audience got the opportunity to follow the performances of Anton Mygal and his friends.

Among them is the International Stand-Up Festival in Kyiv, where the performer of his own jokes became convinced: it is important to form his own style. It is he who helps the audience remember him and makes his performances unique. It brings popularity and recognition. At the same time, Mygal understood that the author's style cannot be created artificially and imposed on the audience. And the process of introducing humor fans to the author's work should come naturally. The comedian simply talks about the world as he sees it, and this is what makes him special and conquers the hearts of new fans.
