The humorous genre on the stage is a fertile "field" for earning money, of course, if the artist has a bright talent. Yuri Galtsev has everything to get high income in this niche - not just talent, but talent, pragmatism, natural charm.
Now in the "price" of a slightly different humor, evil, revealing, vulgar. Yuri Galtsev fits into both the format of the Soviet era and the format of the "new". If there is vulgarity in his speeches, then it is rather touching than harsh. The disclosures in his "performance" are pleasant, not humiliating. How much does Yuri Galtsev earn from his talent now, when most of his colleagues in the shop are literally out of print?
A rare vulgar or a talented clown?
Yuri Nikolaevich Galtsev cannot be called a handsome man, but it is simply impossible to tear yourself away from his performances. He has a rare charm, a bright comedic talent, which most of his colleagues in the humorous direction on the Russian stage cannot boast of. Who is he? Talent? An artist who “takes” the audience with vulgarity?
First of all, Yuri Nikolaevich is a humorist. For many years he performed precisely in this role, was a permanent participant in television programs in this direction. But, unlike his counterparts on the stage, he actively developed in other areas - cinema, theater, vocal genre, dubbing cartoon characters, shooting in commercials. Not surprisingly, his income is much higher than that of other humorists.
He managed to dilute the spoken genre with the vocal one when, together with his colleagues, he prepared and presented to the audience the number-song “Wow, we left the bay”. Yuri Galtsev was the leading link in the issue, its author and "producer". He not only performed the solo part in the song, but also acted as an accompanist.
Filmography of Yuri Galtsev - more than 92 works in cinema. He played the most striking roles in films
- "Bobaka Soskervilis",
- "Empire under attack"
- "Russian horror stories"
- "All the gold in the world" and others.
It is interesting that in two seasons of the series "Streets of Broken Lanterns" Yuri Nikolayevich played two different characters, but the audience did not even notice this, did not compare the characters, and even critics did not consider this nuance a blunder. It is not known how much Galtsev earns on the set of films. In addition to cinema, he took part in television programs, including as a vocal contestant, and quite successfully.
Who is he and where is he from?
Yuri Nikolaevich was born in mid-April 1961, in the city of Kurgan, in the family of a builder and a factory worker. When his father rose to the rank of director of the plant, new opportunities opened up for Yuri. More precisely, for his passion for music - dad brought him records of foreign rock performers, and he was the most "successful" guy in the yard.
But he was more attracted to acting. Even while studying at the mechanical engineering institute, the young man found time for creativity and eventually became the head of the student theater. After graduating from a technical higher educational institution, Galtsev went to the northern capital, where from the very first time he entered the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Cinematography and Music.
Immediately after graduation, Yuri became a popular pop artist, he was invited to act in films, he performed on the theater stage.
How much does the artist Yuri Galtsev earn?
The income of representatives of show business, cinema and pop music often becomes the subject of close attention of journalists. According to analysts, back in 2007, Yuri Nikolayevich's annual earnings "exceeded" the mark of 1,000,000 rubles. Is it so? Galtsev never answers the questions of correspondents of this nature. He either ignores them or laughs them off.
Performing humorous concerts and television programs generate little income. It should be assumed that the main part of Galtsev's earnings is paying for his filming in films and performances on the stage of the theater.
Galtsev's fees for managing private events
"Crooked Mirror", "Full House" have long been overshadowed by humorous programs of a new format, where evil young artists joke. Yuri Nikolaevich is pragmatic, understands that it is necessary to change, and willingly does it.
He was one of the first among his colleagues in the humorous genre to decide to run private events. According to the data on his official website, for one such performance, which lasts at least 5 hours, he charges a fee of $ 12,000 or more.
Events that take place during the holidays cost much more. In addition, the customer pays for the services of the so-called "rider" of the invited artist, working hours in excess of the time stated in the first contract.
Personal life of Yuri Galtsev
Yuri Nikolaevich never experienced a lack of female attention. It happened that even scandals flared up around his amorous adventures, but it is not known which of them were in fact, and which were invented by the journalists.
For the first time Galtsev married at the age of 19. In marriage, a son, Maxim, was born, but this fact did not save the family - a divorce. The second wife of the comedian was the actress Rakshina Irina. At first, the family lived in a hostel, then in a communal apartment, in order to stay afloat in the 90s, the couple worked together as janitors.
Now, recalling the beginning of their married life with Irina, Yuri says that it was she who kept the family. The couple have an adult daughter Masha, and the eldest son gave the comedian two grandchildren, one of whom is named after his grandfather Yuri.
Irina Galtseva steadfastly endures all the rumors in the press, in which her husband is accused of treason. She is sure that they were not and are not, and Yuri Nikolaevich is immensely grateful to her for this.
