Creative Career
Bohdan Pysmenko is an experienced Ukrainian comedian, TikTok star, and stand-up performer with more than eight years in the genre. Today, the artist gives solo shows and has built a large fan base. At the beginning of his career, he realized one important thing: to be an authentic comedian, you have to reflect on the events happening around you. Otherwise, an attentive audience will sense the insincerity, making it much harder to fill the venue next time. At the same time, Bohdan believes that comedians should always remain critical of their own performances. If you managed to make the audience laugh today, it does not make you a god of comedy. It simply becomes another step toward growth.
Bohdan describes the feeling of becoming an accomplished comedian like this: «my soul has become a little calmer». At the same time, he believes that being funny is essential for success.
