Members of the comedy troupe Vitamin Club don’t go after money and don’t perform at weddings, said Vitamin Club member, comedian, actor Aram MP3 in conversation with local daily Hraparak.
“Today, due to ratings, many of us could make a lot of money — where? By hosting weddings, but none of us perform at weddings — that’s what we decided,” he said.
“Running after money very easily leads to destruction. They didn’t like you at the very beginning because you had ratings; they liked your character, and you shouldn’t lose that. There’s an expression: to sell your soul to the devil. In this case, consider money to be the devil, and those types of people who always go after money always perish,” he said.
Aram MP3 didn’t rule out the possibility that if he had an offer from abroad that he might agree to leave Armenia — however, on the condition that he returns.
“But that I want to leave this country, that I don’t like this country — I’m not one of those people [who believes that]. I had the chance, but I didn’t go,” he said.
Speaking about taboos in his industry, Aram MP3 said there are no specific taboos; they simply realize that there are topics which they shouldn’t address — “because our people don’t take it lightly”. In the comedian’s opinion, such topics are patriotism and war.
