The value of good humor is clearly demonstrated by the presence of Comedy Club residents in the Forbes ratings. Ruslan Bely's performances were very popular. He is called the guru of the Russian stand-up. He masterfully plays on the most pressing topics, produces new shows and gives recitals. Therefore, the question of how much and how an artist earns is not surprising.
There is no exact data on the income of the humorist. And the TNT channel does not plan to disclose the size of the presenters' earnings. However, by the popularity of the show, it is easy to understand that Bely's income is quite large.
Road to fame
The biography of the "philosopher from Voronezh" began in 1979. The future artist was born in Prague on December 28 in a military family. There the boy went to school. Until the 5th grade, he studied in the Polish town of Legnica, where his father was transferred. The family returned to Russia after another 4 years.
Ruslan's artistic abilities were manifested in childhood. But the graduate continued his education at the Military Aviation Engineering University. It was only during the training that the student's talent was fully revealed.
He played in the KVN team "Seventh Heaven", became its captain. Under his leadership, prestigious awards were won at the Jurmala festival. The success has become the impetus for new achievements on the stage.
After graduation, Ruslan 5 served in the army. He did not part with creativity, performing as part of the Voronezh show. Together with Yulia Akhmetova, he played in the 25th team. In 2003, Bely graduated from the local Agrarian University named after Peter the Great.
The artist's popularity grew. Soon he received an invitation from the TNT channel. The comedian was offered to take part in the television project "Laughter without rules". Ruslan refused, but a little time passed, and the capital's offer was repeated.
Confession
The young humorist gave his consent only for the third time. He won the season by becoming the winner of the show. Successful debut brought participation in "Comedy Battle" and "Slaughter League". In 2006, the young man starred in the TV series "Happy Together". In the sitcom, his stage role was perfectly revealed.
The pinnacle of recognition was White's show "StandUp". The author was both its producer and main participant. After two seasons, the idea of a festival of the same name for beginners appeared. The performances were free of charge in order to make it easier for young talents.
At the concerts of Ruslan himself, the performance of various themes continues. Ruslan hides his personal life. It is known that he has no wife yet. After the publication about the affair with Yulia Akhmetova, a denial from both sides followed. Ruslan admitted that he values freedom too much, and therefore is in no hurry to start a long-term relationship.
Constant employment and lack of free time are not conducive to family life. Even on the Instagram page, all publications are related only to work.
Together with the team of the TNT channel, Bely attended the St. Petersburg VK Fest in July 2017. The interactive platform was adjacent to a recreation area, a photo panel and a stage on which the participants of the TV show performed.
New Horizons
In August, the announcement of a unique comedy and musical show "Studio SOYUZ" took place. Artists and comedians competed in contests demonstrating the absurdity of the lyrics of some Russian contemporary pop singers, and made bets in rap battles.
In 2018, in the summer, the "Prozharka" banter program was launched. Comedian Ilya Sobolev became the leading and merciless critic at the same time. Ruslan was the first to hear opinions about his appearance, the content of jokes, and his character. His tasks included witty and funny criticism, jokes of others. The main thing is to make the audience laugh.
Bely's new project was the Comedian in the City show. The artist decided not to limit himself to the capital scene. He gave concerts in 14 cities of the country. All the humorist's jokes related to topics relevant to local residents. The reaction was the problem. Not everyone reacted positively to the artist's statements. The comedian did not take offense, accepting criticism.
It is not yet known whether the performances took place beyond the Urals and in Siberia, in the Far East. Nothing is known about the prospects of the project. Ruslan is busy looking for new stand-up talents as an organizer and one of the judges of the Open Microphone competition. The popular comedians are part of the StandUp members on a permanent basis.
Plans and their implementation
Bely also has a business, a restaurant-bar StandUp Store Moscow. In addition to delicious food, there are live performances for visitors or the opportunity to perform on stage and receive a cash prize.
There are many fans of the artist's concerts. They are also not afraid of ticket prices. Bely also gives solo performances, and performs as part of general concerts. For a performance in the capital's Crocus City Hall, the cost started from one and a half thousand rubles. The maximum room accommodates 7233 people, and on average at least 4290 attends concerts. Most of the proceeds remain with the artist.
As a master of public relations, the popular artist receives very significant fees. At private parties, his rewards are even greater. Tentatively, at corporate parties, his numbers are estimated at 550,000 rubles at least.
The price does not apply to the New Year holidays. At this time, the amount rises markedly. The artist prefers to perform in the suburbs and the capital.
The artist strives to get an audience capable of self-irony, who understands his jokes. Being at the top of popularity is not the main task of a comedian.
"Comedy Club" has long played the role of a kind of production of talented artists of the spoken genre, step-divers. Traditionally, the program is published on TNT. Not only famous people, but also representatives of a new generation take part in it.
