Vasyl Baydak is a Ukrainian stand-up comedian, member of the theater of absurdity "Vorobushek" and the author of the character Bubuduk.
Won twice at Independent All-Ukrainian Stand-Up Festival — in the second and fourth seasons. Also performs in the format of "The Andy Kaufman Show", where improvisation, absurdity and unexpected moves work without "safe" frameworks.
If you want anti-everyday and something not obvious, but cool — Vasyl Baydak's performances are definitely worth adding to your plans. This is a format for those who love the live reaction of the audience, strange humor and stand-up, which can go completely wrong. And that's the whole point.
Why people pay attention to Vasyl Baydak's performances
- He works on the verge of absurdity - sometimes strange, but almost never boring.
- He easily interacts with the audience and does not hold on rigidly to the prepared text.
- The audience's reaction is more important to him than "safe" humor.
- He constantly changes the form of presentation - from classic stand-up to musical or almost chaotic formats.
Style and presentation
Improvisation is the basis of his performances. Much here depends on the moment: intonation, a random remark from the audience, a pause, or even the mood in the room. Vasyl Baydak works with language, meanings, and form in such a way that his performance often looks like an experiment that is being assembled right on stage.
A separate universe is Bubuduk. According to the story, the character “appeared” in 2017 in Greece. He is the image of a primitive man who supposedly transmits his messages through videos. Vasyl dubs them in his own style, and the videos are actively distributed online and collect reactions in the comments. Well, it’s hard to just turn them off.
“League of Laughter” and solo performances
The comedian became known to a wider audience after participating in the “League of Laughter” together with the theater of the absurd “Vorobushek”. It was there that his style was well manifested: natural behavior on stage, an accurate sense of pauses, and non-standard logic of jokes.
Vasyl Baydak is originally from Vinnytsia, and currently works in Kharkiv. Participates in various shows and performs with solo programs. One of the notable projects is "The Andy Kaufman Show", where the format allows you to go beyond the boundaries of classic stand-up.
The topic of the performances can change literally every minute: from everyday stories to absurd observations and a stream of thoughts that is born right on stage. The format also does not stand still - it can be a stand-up sitting, lying down or even with musical accompaniment. Come on, here the rules are often invented already in the process.
