About BadComedian
Evgeny Vladimirovich Bazhenov, born May 24, 1991, is a Russian YouTube personality and film critic known online as BadComedian. He runs an eponymous channel where he posts critical reviews, mostly of Russian films but occasionally of American, Indian and Ukrainian ones as well; his first review appeared on March 28, 2011.
He publishes positive reviews on a separate channel called EvgenComedian and once worked with CarambaTV. His targets have included comedies directed by Zhora Kryzhovnikov, films released by the company Enjoy Movies, and action films made by Alexander Nevsky. Between 2015 and 2017 he released the web series BadTrip, in which he travelled around the United States to visit locations tied to well-known films and TV shows.
Bazhenov has said his reviews were inspired by Nostalgia Critic and The Spoony Experiment. His nickname comes from the Comedian character in Watchmen, with "Bad" signalling that he sees his own reviews as sarcastic rather than funny. Outlets including Eurosport, RBK and Elle have called him the leading film critic of Russian YouTube.
He performed stand-up on tour in 2013 and 2014 and again in 2017, and hosted the CarambaTV show ProStandUp.
