Becoming an artist
Oleg Svishch is a talented improviser, comedian, director of the Idealers marketing agency. He was educated at secondary school No. 2 in the city of Zelenodolsk, in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The future star in the humor genre was particularly interested in history, law, as well as the Ukrainian language and literature. So in 2012, the young man graduated from the Yaroslav the Wise National Law University and stayed to live in Kharkiv.
Oleg began his path to fame and recognition in the comedy industry with friends. In 2012, Oleg Svishch, Oleksandr Serdyuk, Vasyl Baydak and Vadym Kozedub performed at the KVN, but the team was disqualified. The reason was that at the rehearsal the artists showed one scenario, and during the performance they unexpectedly played a completely different one. After that, the guys decided to establish their own absurd theater in Kharkiv. The team did not have a single director or producer. All the “sparrows” created scenarios together and brought them to life on stage.
Creative path
In 2015, Oleg Svishch, as part of the team of the "International Theater of the Absurd "Gorobchyk", went to Odessa for the "League of Laughter" festival. However, the comedians did not manage to go any further. The following year, the Kharkiv artists successfully passed the selection and performed in several concerts of the festival. After a successful debut, the guys appeared in new seasons of the show almost every year. And in 2021, the "Gorobchyk" theater, under the guidance of Volodymyr Dantes, won the "Clash of the Titans" project.

The performers recorded their own version of the legendary hit I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys and even recreated the atmosphere of the original video clip for the song, starring near an airplane. All this was for the sake of raising funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The initiative was a huge success: instead of the planned 5 million hryvnias, the comedians managed to raise 7 million. This happened in a record time - in just half a day. And the video for the song on Instagram collected more than 115,000 likes. The next hit from Oleg Svishch and Badstreet Boys was released as a gift to Ukrainians for Christmas 2023.
