Biography of Arthur Pirozhkov
Alexander Revva, who actually represents Arthur Pirozhkov, has been distinguished by his spectacular performance on stage since the days of KVN. He perfectly parodied various personalities, imitated voices and reincarnated in various heroes.
According to Revva himself, he never could have thought that the image of Arthur Pirozhkov would gain such popularity. As you know, after leaving KVN, Alexander became one of the residents of the comedy TV show Comedy Club.
Here the comedian skillfully imitated grandmothers and appeared before the audience in the form of Artur Pirozhkov. The audience watched with great interest Pirozhkov, who usually showed himself as a macho and conqueror of women's hearts.
In his interviews, Alexander Revva stated that Arthur Pirozhkov is a collective image of a "pitching" and metrosexual. The very idea of creating a character came to him by accident.
Once, while relaxing on one of the beaches in Sochi, Revva witnessed a conversation between several bodybuilders who enthusiastically discussed their achievements in bodybuilding. Each of them talked about workouts that allow you to increase muscles and acquire a sports figure.
As a result, the creator of Artur Pirozhkov decided to play on the stage with the theme related to "pitching". Then he did not yet know how the audience would perceive his character, but the attempt was worth it. As a result, Pirozhkov in the shortest possible time became one of the most recognizable and beloved heroes of his compatriots.
Artur Pirozhkov is portrayed by Revva in a grotesque and satirical form. The main focus is on muscles, specific manner of speech and behavior, as well as on the style of clothing. An interesting fact is that, according to Alexander, he himself has nothing to do with Pirozhkov.
Creation
In Comedy Club, Arthur Pirozhkov initially performed in sketches and scenes. He appeared on stage both himself and in duets with other residents of the TV show.
Pirozhkov has always become the highlight of the program in any miniature. Over time, he decided to try himself as a vocal artist, recording his debut song "Paradise".
The composition was well received by the audience, as a result of which Arthur, aka Alexander Revva, continued to present new hits. Soon the release of the song "Like Celentano" took place, for which a spectacular video clip was shot. His storyline was based on the famous comedy "The Taming of the Shrew."

In the following years of his biography, Arthur Pirozhkov continued to delight fans with new hits, until in 2015 a full-fledged "pitching" album called "Love" was released, with the dance tracks "I am a Star" and "Cry, Baby".
