Abai University hosted an intense semifinal match of the inter-faculty "Zhaidarman" games. The teams competing on the comedy stage gave the audience a great mood. Among the six teams, the best were determined and earned their spots in the finals.

The seasonal "Zhaidarman" games, which kicked off in mid-October, sharpen students' intellectual skills and boost their resourcefulness. Designed to discover talent among the youth and foster team friendship and cooperation, this comedy stage is one of the most anticipated events for students. A large crowd of young people gathered to watch the best performers in the "Zhaidarman" semifinals. Since this stage decided who would advance to the final, the players came thoroughly prepared for the battle of wits.

Teams made up of the university's active students competed in sharp humor and banter. Specifically, the "Dostyk 13" team represented the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics alongside the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Geography. "Agusha" performed on behalf of the Faculty of World Languages, while the "Sen Sulu" squad from the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology delivered an entertaining performance. The "Koshedegi-ler" team from the Faculty of Arts stood out with their unique style, whereas language and literature students took the stage under the name "Kabirkhan." Additionally, the open team of Abai University students, "Abai Bolaiyq," won the warmth and favor of both the audience and the jury.

The semifinal games were evaluated by a competent jury of versatile experts. The panel included the Vice-Rector for Social Development of the University, Maksat Zhakau, as well as the 2022 champions of the national "Zhaidarman," Medet Zhanabay and Manas Zharylkasyn. Furthermore, Ardak Bekenov, head of the Satbayev University "Zhaidarman" movement, and Nurbolat Manapbayev, Director of the Department of Social and Youth Policy, rated the comedians' quick wit.

The humor contest consisted of two stages: "Greeting" (Greeting / Warm-up) and "Biathlon." Based on the competition results, four teams that successfully demonstrated a blend of sharp intellect and humor earned their places in the final. These teams are "Agusha," "Koshedegi-ler," "Kabirkhan," and "Abai Bolaiyq." The final round will take place as part of the "Autumn Student Week," scheduled for November 13–22.
