Gotsiridze was the son of a tailor, but loved the stage, and first took to the boards at the age of twelve. He developed a comedy act and played the local working-class establishments until, in 1922, he joined a professional touring troupe under the director Kote Marjanishvili (Марджановым). He was much lauded and in 1924 he was made a People's Artist of the Georgia SSR.[4]
