Talk
Ruslan Bely, Nurlan Saburov, Timur Karginov and Azamat Musagaliev will speak on life topics: from sex preferences to school bullying. Talk is not a humorous TNT show in the usual sense. It has no rules or clear rules, rounds and scoring, winners and losers. This is an honest, open conversation of four modern guys on life topics - childhood and parents, sex and relationships, work and success, the army and school. There is no introduction or greetings, the show immediately connects the viewer to the rather intimate and informal conversation of the four comedians. These are conversations that are familiar to everyone in a variety of situations. You've heard or led them in the bar after work, in bed before bed, at the therapist's, in the kitchen, on the train. The time has come to talk about this on television with the same intonation.
