The audience loved the comedian and did not let off the stage, turning his performances with monologues in a real marathon.
Journalists tortured Zadornov, as he
able to withstand regular two – and
three-hour concerts. The artist as always answered with
humor: “helps Me four hours
to stand only one thing: my job. I
like it, that’s all. If
love your work, you physically
not loaded as if you do
thing unloved. Any Yes, I can wish
same! And answering further notice
what I’m pretending to be healthy because
I’m a good artist…”

5. Philosophy of life took
the East

A few years ago in
the life of a humorist there was a sharp change:
Mikhail was seriously interested
philosophy and self-improvement
and at some point even wanted to leave
the big stage. In an interview
Zadornov said: “the Stage is
making money, race. Need
to get rid of the hassle, fuss,
the pursuit of money, otherwise will not work.
And the modern humor below
belt won’t do.”

In the same interview, parodist admitted that he really was seriously interested
different philosophies, ancient
pagan teachings and began to seriously
to study the history of our ancestors. Mikhail Nikolaevich
told that about 15 years ago, I met a woman that long
time lived in India and told him about
Ayurveda, which has become an integral part of his life.

“In one of its
Himalayan expeditions I had slept in
Buddhist monasteries. Learned a lot.
The main thing — to appreciate their own culture.
Philosophy of life I took from the East, there
preserved the wisdom of Ayurveda, which
helps in life. At first, I really
skeptical treated her, but the more I read
about her, the more mysterious became
it is for me. In any case, I Ayurveda
largely helps,” said
Mikhail Zadornov.
