The project managers denied this, but the audience remained with their own opinion.

Over time, more and more “evidence” of this appeared. Firstly, the image of Uncle Vitya was partly borrowed from Ilya’s favorite film “Man on the Moon”. Secondly, during one of the performances, Uncle Vitya’s voice broke, and many recognized the timbre and notes of Sobolev’s voice.

Despite the fact that Sobolev continued to deny involvement in Uncle Vita, a video message from the angry lead singer of the group MBAND was sent to him. The fact is that on the air of the program Uncle Vitya spoke impartially about the team, calling them “the favorite group of worms.”

IN once again comedian Ilya began to deny that it was not he who was hosting the show. And therefore, he has nothing to apologize for.

In February 2010, Ilya Sobolev left the “Slaughter League”, deciding that he needed to move on. The creative producer of the project, a TV presenter and 12 participants left with the comedian.

This is the story of friendship between police operative Lesha and the ghost of the legendary swindler Pashka Veterok. At the moment, Ilya’s filmography is limited only to this picture.

Ilya Sobolev and blogger Nikolai Sobolev are namesakes

In 2018, Ilya decided to conquer the Internet. His YouTube channel was registered in 2012, but only now he began to develop and popularize it. The man admits that he can afford much more on the Internet than on TV. Here his monologues are even more poignant and topical. He also publishes his impromptu concerts and parodies of Russian show business stars on the channel.

Ilya Sobolev on the project "Where is the logic"

In the winter of 2018, a new show “Prozharka” launched on the TNT4 channel, hosted by Ilya. The format of the program is comedy: young comedians make fun of the invited guest. TV presenter and singer, stand-up comedian Ruslan Bely, blogger, etc. have already visited Sobolev at Prozharka. Some fans believe that they are brothers. But this is not so, the guys are just namesakes.

By the way, in August 2018, both Sobolevs came to the show “Where is the logic?”, Ilya was in tandem with rapper L’One, and Nikolai was with.

Projects

1999 – KVN team “Left Bank”
2007 – “Laughter without rules”
2007 – “Slaughter League”
2010 – “Comedy Battle”
2013 – “Ivanov, Smirnov, Sobolev”
2013 – “ComedyClub”
2018 – “Roasting”

This hero was originally conceived as the host of an unusual program. In order to promote Uncle Vitya, he was sent to various humorous competitions. He appeared in:

Slaughter League;
Laughter without rules.

The following definitions were offered to the viewer as characteristics of Uncle Vitya:

resident of the capital;
grumpy old man;
debater;
the one who has the last word;
self-proclaimed leader.

It was not difficult to guess that the scruffy old man was an actor in makeup. Uncle Vitya's voice sounded artificial, like Barmaley's at a children's party. The clothes, although they are the standard of fashion on the outskirts of the city, are extremely clean and well-fitted. The hair on the hero's head, untouched by the barber, has been thoroughly washed, reminiscent of a theatrical wig.

You should also pay attention to how Uncle Vitya communicates with the hosts of the shows he attends. This is a pre-choreographed dialogue performed by artists. The guest’s impudence does not shock the presenters, and he himself does not stare at the “guys from TV.” Real characters from social environment the fictional uncle is idolized by television and stars of all kinds of shows.

He was created as an entertainer for the television program "Money or Shame." The plot of this program may seem familiar - they invite one of the stars and he or she earns money by answering tricky questions. If in world practice similar show borders on shamelessness, then NTN decided to spice up the shame with humor.

Performer of the role of Uncle Vitya

The management of the TNT channel did not disclose the name of the actor who plays this character and do not intend to disclose it. Viewers conducted their own investigation, during which they even compared the ears of Uncle Vitya and the main comedians of the country.

As a result, it turned out that Ilya Sobolev plays the old man. He's at peace comedy shows not a newbie. Here short biography artist:

Ilya was born 34 years ago in the city of Krasnoyarsk. The boy showed the makings of a KVN player very early - he began participating in humorous competitions while still at school. He also enjoyed performing original numbers at all children's amateur performance shows.
The first adult KVN team for the artist was “Left Bank”, representing hometown guy in the KVN Major League.

Like many KVN players, Sobolev participated in Comedy project Club. At the moment he is one of the residents of this show - he is its permanent participant. By the way, Uncle Vitya was also spotted there.
Together with his friend from the “Left Bank” Roman Klyachkin, Ilya created the duet “Beautiful”.
Besides comedy conversational genre Ilya Sobolev is partial to music. He writes light dance tunes.

A dark spot in the comedian’s biography can be considered his detention in St. Petersburg in the spring of this year. Sobolev drove the car without documents. So he is quite a friendly character and not prone to hooligan antics.

Ilya is married. His wife's name is Natalya. The role of the comedian’s chosen one is completely traditional - she is not a clown, but an exemplary housewife. The couple has a daughter and will soon have a brother or sister.

KVN is 55 years old. Anniversary issue? Where to watch?
Ural dumplings or Comedy Club? Which is better?

Who is Uncle Vitya?

Of course, there is a certain intrigue. But still, the majority of those interested are sure that this is Ilya Viktorovich Sobolev. True, this secret is not finally revealed on the channel, in order to stir up interest further, apparently.

There were also versions that these were Artem Pushkin, Maxim Korchagin and Mishlanov.

If Uncle Vitya were a real person, but I doubt that his behavior and speech would change during the course of his speeches. Still, I’m inclined to think that this is Ilya Sobolev.

Moreover, although the make-up artists do an excellent job, they don’t always do it. Why do some pictures with Uncle Vova give off an old look in different areas of the skin, while others don’t?

It seems that the make-up artists either did not have time to do the make-up on time, or that different make-up artists worked on the image. Some did it in more detail, while others were less focused on it. It turns out that there is some kind of imbalance in the image. A person cannot rejuvenate and grow old from one show to another.

Uncle Vitya from Moscow with an unconventional sense of humor was able to win over his audience and take a respectable second place in the tenth season of Laughter Without Rules. This condition allows him to enter the Slaughter League.

The main mystery of the project is the assertion that a completely different character is hiding behind the sluggish image. One of the opinions was that Uncle Vitya is Ilya Sobolev from the duet Beautiful, but there is no confirmation yet.

Wikipedia says that this is Roman Vitalievich Klyachkin! https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klyachkin,_Roman_Vitalevich

The official website of this comedian hides any data that could indicate the identity of this person.

But many sites indicate the year of birth of Uncle Vitya - 1983. This means that he is 32 years old today.

Date of birth of Ilya Sobolev is February 25, 1983. Place of birth - Krasnoyarsk, which also suits the famous comedian.

Maybe this is a coincidence, but it seems to me that behind the makeup of Uncle Vitis it is Ilya Sobolev.

Yes, this is really Ilya Viktorovich Sobolev, it’s stupid to deny it. Even now, if you watch episode 124 when Uncle Vitya says something, the intonation is like Sobolev’s, only the timbre of his voice has changed.

For some reason, it still seems to me that it is Ilyusha Sobolev who is hiding under the guise of Uncle Vitya, there are a lot of similarities in these characters, especially since Uncle Vitya once spoke completely like Sobolev. As for age, the skill of modern make-up artists is very great, which is proven by shows like One on One. Moreover, it is not the age-related changes on the face or hands that are alarming, but their inconstancy; in some photographs they are clearly visible, in others the face appears completely young. Apparently the makeup is not always applied equally diligently. But even if Uncle Vitya is not Sobolev, I won’t be too upset, there will simply be one more interesting comedian.

One can definitely say about Uncle Vitya that he is Uncle Vitya, a comedian, showman and resident of the Comedy Club. And the most mysterious resident. There is a lot of controversy about his persona, is this a real character or a made-up Ilya Sobolev

I am also inclined towards the version with Sobolev and good makeup.

I think this is done to maintain intrigue. That is why they hide the person’s real name.

The public is still inclined to believe that this is Ilya Sobolev. My opinion is also that it is him...

Uncle Vitya is another intrigue of the TNT channel. While the real name of this character is not known to the general public. But with a high probability we can assume that the role of Uncle Vitya is played by Ilya Sobolev in high-quality makeup.

Uncle Vitya is a participant in Comedy Battle, one of the most mysterious participants in the project. Firstly, his jokes are too dirty (which the audience likes, but the judges don’t like). Further - in fact, he is not an uncle, but a young guy. Many assume that his name is Ilya Sobolev. Date of Birth, facial structure - in general, everything agrees that Uncle Vitya is Sobolev (humorist).

The fact that no one knows who is hiding behind the image of Uncle Vitya makes the project more attractive.

If you take a closer look at the photo of this man, namely at his hands, then you can say with confidence that this man is much older than Ilya Sobolev. And the eyes are different.

In the summer of 2017, the comedy show “ Money or shame"produced by Comedy Club Production - a show in which stars can laugh at themselves, improve their self-irony and earn money. This is the channel’s first own project, which is mainly programmed with “golden content”. The show “Money or Shame” became successful from the very first release, the share was 3.1% in the audience 14-44 in Russia. The share of premiere episodes every Thursday always remained above the average share of TNT4 and averaged 2.2% over 9 issues. At the same time, the show showed not only high numbers on air, but on the Internet, the total episodes of VKontakte, YouTube and RuTube received 15,000,000 views.

Show host Uncle Vitya raised the most hot topics and did not hesitate to joke about the most shameful facts from the personal lives of stars. Where did he come from and why does he allow himself to behave this way with famous guests? Uncle Vitya’s career as a comedian began about 10 years ago in the “Laughter Without Rules” program. Even then, he was remembered by TV viewers for his cheeky, boorish behavior, harsh jokes “on the edge” and unceremonious communication with the presenters. Subsequently, he began to regularly appear in issues of the “Slaughter League”, reached the finals “ Comedy Battle", where, according to the conditions, the winner would become a new resident Comedy Club. But one of the jury members - Garik Martirosyan advised him to start his own comedy show.

“Money or Shame” is remembered as the first comedy show on Russian television, where the stars were not treated on ceremony at all! Earned the least amount of money on the show Nastasya Samburskaya- 450,000 rubles for reproaches of excessive “stardom” and jokes about her nude photographs. But that doesn't count Catherine Barnabas, who was so infuriated by the presenter’s attacks that she left the studio before the end of filming... and also without her brand new iPhone, which Uncle Vitya smashed on the table. Despite the shock of the audience, even this act turned into a joke, because, first of all, “Money or Shame” is funny!

Gabriel Gordeev, director of TNT4: “The show really turned out to be extreme, I saw the reaction of the guests - some are enjoying themselves, some have mixed feelings, but one way or another, emotions are going through the roof. It is not right that most of our stars are unattainable and beyond criticism. Look at American evening shows, where guests are always ready to play along with the host and are not afraid to show themselves in an unusual light. There must be self-irony! In our show we upgrade it from the stars! In "Money or Shame" they do stupid, stupid, funny things and laugh at them along with the audience. And the audience begins to love them even more.”
