He is handsome, cheerful and stately. All this can be said about one of the most popular KVN players of recent years, the captain of the Odessa Mansy team, Sergei Sereda. Having started a successful career in show business with a performance in the Funny and Resourceful Club, he continues to be in the public eye today.

Do you remember how it all started…

Sergey Sereda was born, perhaps, in the most cheerful city in the entire post-Soviet space - in Odessa. As today he loves to give gifts to his viewers and fans, so he made a surprise for his parents just in time for the New Year, having been born on December 24 on the eve of 1990.

He still speaks warmly about Odessa, calling it the city that you can’t really tell about, no matter how hard you try. You need to come to it, walk the streets, feel its spirit, and best of all, be born. How Sergey Sereda did it. His biography is closely connected with this city.

Career in KVN

The first fame came to KVN when Sergey became the captain of the Odessa Mansy team. The team appeared due to the merger of two teams"Santekh" and NoStress. Having a lot of cups and medals of city competitions in KVN, the teams decided to create a team of the city. The old Odessa kaveenshchiki reacted positively to the idea. We began to provide support, look for bases for rehearsals, campaign for sponsors, in general, we took on the maximum hassle so that the guys could be engaged exclusively in creativity.

In 2012, Odessans became champions of the Krasnodar and First Ukrainian Leagues and won the right to play in the Premier League the following year.

In the Major League

The first season was unsuccessful, the team took last place at a very early stage. But the next year, the already experienced cavalry officers demonstrated what they are really capable of.

In the 1/8 finals, the team came out from third place, losing only to the national team of Murmansk and the Tyumen "Soyuz". At the first stage, the teams prepared short videos for greetings about their cities. The video, shot by the Odessa Mansy team, was especially remembered by the fans and the jury for its unique Odessa humor.

But in the ¼ finals the team won, beating the MIPT team by 2 tenths of a point. Throughout the game, these were the main competitors of Odessa. At the beginning of the game, the Physics and Technology Institute was in the lead, in the captain's competition Sergey Sereda also took only second place, losing one tenth of a point to Georgy Gigashvili from Dolgoprudny.

Odessites benefited from a music contest, in which they showed an act about a married couple who live like in Oleg Gazmanov's song "The Sailor". The performance captivated the jury, the judges gave the victory to the "Mansi". So for the first time since2002, the Ukrainian team took first place in the game of the Major League of KVN.

True, this is where the career of Odessans in KVN ended. The team refused to participate in the semi-final, although it did not break up after that. On the official website of the KVN community, it was reported that Captain Sergei Sereda personally phoned Alexander Maslyakov and referred to financial difficulties and the absence of a sponsor. Although many then considered this decision political, connected with the events in the east of Ukraine.

On the big screen

After leaving the air of Channel One, the Odessa team, led by their captain, did not say goodbye to their fans. Sergey even took part in the Ukrainian version of the intellectual game “What? Where? When? as part of the show business team and Studio Kvartal-95. True, the team lost - 3:6.

With the well-known in Ukraine, and in Russia, the creative group "Studio Kvartal-95" (also made up of kaveenschikov), after that, active cooperation continued. Together with the brightest members of the team - Alexander Stankevich, Grigory Gushchin and Levon Nazinyan - Sergey starred in the comedy series "Country U" and "Tales B".

The first project, which became an adapted sketch of the popular English show "Little Britain", was especially successful. A truly stellar cast has gathered in the series "Country U" - the best players of the Ukrainian KVN teams "Dnipro", "Team of Blondes of Ukraine", "Vinnitsa Peppers" and, of course, "Odessa Mansy".

The action of the series takes place in different major cities of Ukraine. Sergeigot the role of a typical Odessa citizen Kostya, who since childhood lives in a typical Odessa courtyard with bosom friends. Critics write about them that they are as different as import prices. However, at the same time, he is aware of all the events both in the country and in the world. Ready to discuss them almost from dawn to dusk.

In 2016, this theme was developed in a separate series "Once Upon a Time in Odessa".

Matters of the Heart

Not so long ago it became known about the romance between the famous singer Erika and the comedian from Odessa. Sergei Sereda himself spoke about this. The couple's personal life immediately interested many fans of the team.

The acquaintance happened almost by accident. Sergey and Erica became co-hosts of the program on the music channel. Erica herself admitted that she was subdued by a sense of humor in the gentleman, this is her erogenous zone, and the experienced cavalier had more than enough of it.

The relationship began in a truly romantic way. Erica came to Odessa to visit a friend to see the city. However, a friend the day before had a hard rest in karaoke and did not meet the singer at the station. She had to call the only person she knew in this city - Sergey, who immediately arrived half-awake, put her in the best hotel, and paid all the expenses. This was the beginning of the relationship.
