Becoming an artist
Roksana Tymkiv is a Ukrainian stand-up comedian and writer. The future star of the humor industry was born in the city of Burshtyn, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. After graduating from school, she entered the history department of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. In 2017, Roksana made her writing debut with the book “Goleor”. Later, the works “The Devil is Me” and “A Stranger New World” were published.
Roksana Tymkiv always knew that she wanted to work with words. After trying to master tourism at the Lviv Polytechnic, she quickly realized that she was going down a deceptive path. And without delay, she transferred to the Faculty of History of Lviv University. She still does not regret her choice. History became for Roxana not just a profession, but a source of inspiration in her work.
Tymkiv began writing at an early age. She presented her first story, "The Sun and the Sunflower," at the age of six. A short but symbolic story of three sentences was drawn in a notebook with a slanted ruler. After her bright debut, the girl received an impetus for further development in her work. At that time, the girl did not yet know that she would gain popularity and recognition on the comedy stage.
Creative path
Roxana Tymkiv began her career in stand-up comedy, performing at various humorous events. The comic is a resident of STAND UP Battle Club, where she regularly performs her own numbers. Tymkiv's style combines lively self-irony and deep observations of everyday life. In her performances, Roxana often touches on the topics of relationships, personal experiences, and social phenomena.
Fans of bright modern humor can follow Roxana Tymkiv's performances in the following formats and projects:
- Stand Up Battle Club (the comedian is a resident of the club);
- issues on the "CherepaHa" channel;
- stand-up on the YouTube channel "Pershy" and others.
Roxana also runs her own YouTube channel, where she shares interesting thoughts on various topics. The stand-up comedian has already reached the level of solo concerts and, as part of a tour of Ukrainian cities, presented live shows for devoted fans of her work. In her solo album "Redflag is Me," Roxana Tymkiv frankly and ironically shared her own oddities. The bright performance was especially liked by those who appreciate intellectual humor with historical and literary references. And also by fans of "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings". After all, the universes of famous stories also found their original reflection in the comedy of Tymki.
Social activity
Roxana actively participates in charitable events and initiatives related to the creative and cultural industries. The artist performs at charity stand-up concerts as part of the "Cultural Defense" project. The purpose of the events is to raise funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other social projects. At the same time, Roxana's humor helps fans emotionally recharge and more easily experience the realities that surround us. So a meeting with a talented performer of her own jokes can replace a trip to a psychologist for viewers. At least, the comedian herself sincerely believes in this.
