Stand-up comedian Andriy Berezko talked to Slava Dyomin about earning at least 5000 dollars a month from performances and his own YouTube channel. During the discussion about sources of income for artists, he noted that he currently lives only from his creativity.
Andriy Berezko's earnings: how much performances and YouTube bring in 2026
When asked about his current sources of income, the comedian mentioned two areas: live performances and his own YouTube channel. According to him, there are no other jobs to ensure income at the moment.
«Finally, it's solely from creativity. It's live performances plus my YouTube channel», — Berezko said.
In response to clarifications about the monthly amount, he stated 5000 dollars and noted that sometimes he earns more.
«It definitely comes to 5000 dollars, sometimes more», — said the comedian.
Berezko did not specify what portion of this amount is provided by concerts and what portion is from YouTube. Also, the excerpt does not explain whether it refers to income before taxes and professional expenses or the money that remains after them. Therefore, calling the entire sum net profit is incorrect.
This is an important distinction for creative professions: previously, Mila Nitych also talked about income and expenses for her team.
Berezko's work and personal expenses: what the comedian said in 2026
According to Berezko, he has been earning from humor for about seven years. Previously, he worked a lot as a screenwriter, writing jokes for others, and for a short time was an author for Diesel Show.
Before his creative career, the comedian worked in a taxi and retail. Of these two occupations, he would choose driving: he explained that he enjoys driving, listening to music, and uses such trips to focus on his thoughts.
According to Berezko, he currently does not have his own housing and rents a place. At the time of the interview, his mother, whom he recently moved from Sofiivska Borshchahivka, lived with him.
The comedian also talked about unforeseen family expenses. After his mother was injured, he expected that the operation and treatment would cost about 200 thousand hryvnias. This is his preliminary estimate of needs, not a confirmed sum of already paid bills.
Thus, the stated monthly earnings do not show how much Berezko can save: part of the funds goes to rent, daily needs, and helping the family. The difference between income and personal budget was also discussed in the story about Korogodski's monthly expenses.
