Diesel show who is participating. Humorous program "Diesel Show": actors

Diesel participant Alexander Berezhok got married in September 2012, and three months ago his wife Alena gave him their first child

The actors of the “Diesel Show” project, which this year won the “Best Humorous Program” nomination, spoke for the first time about their wives.

Egor Krutogolov I met my future wife Ekaterina when both were 13 years old. “My friend noticed three pretty girls: Katya, her sister Olya and their friend Tanya. But he was embarrassed to meet him,” recalls Yegor. “So I decided to turn on the “Casanova joker” mode, make them laugh and, in fact, introduce them to each other. He himself left in English, because at that time I myself had a girlfriend. And a few years later, this same friend Tanya gets married, and she invites me and Katya to play the roles of best man and groomsmen. At the same time, she hinted that the more the witnesses get closer. ", the stronger the marriage will be. We took this attitude literally and tried to make the marriage of our friends as happy as possible." By the way, Ekaterina is a professional photographer, and most of the photographs from Diesel concerts are her work. The couple has a 6-year-old son, Lev. According to Krutogolov, his family has unchanging values ​​- three pillars on which life rests: “These are love, respect and friendship.”

"Diesel" participant Alexander Berezhok He got married in September 2012, and three months ago his wife Alena gave him their first child, who was named Gleb. “I met my wife at an event,” says Alexander. “I was entertaining, and she was in charge of the event, seating guests at tables. We met the day before my birthday. Of course, I invited her to my birthday, but she, of course, didn’t come. She didn’t believe me. So we met the next day, and somehow things started happening.” According to Berezhok, he and his wife used to have the whole month scheduled with some interesting and important events: “The day of the first kiss, flower day, men’s and women’s days, etc. The last couple of months after Gleb’s birth, naturally, we don’t celebrate everything “Only the 13th is the day we met, and our son was born on September 13. On this day, I try to make sure there are fresh flowers in the house, and we also try to travel - at least twice a year.” As Alexander admits, he and his wife had many attempts to have a child: “We went through a lot of all sorts of research. But everything turned out to be much more banal - they give a child when they need it.”

dating Evgeniy Gashenko with his wife Olga also quite fascinating. “We met in Kyiv, we lived in neighboring houses,” says Evgeniy. “I was returning home late in the evening. I saw an upset girl sitting near the entrance. It turned out that she couldn’t get home - her friend fell asleep, but there were no keys. I offered my help. I remembered my yard childhood and climbed into the entrance window, opened the door for her. Interest lit up in her eyes, and we agreed to meet the next day on the first date, we went to Obolonskaya embankment. On the way, I bought champagne and, in order not to clink glasses, bought two beautiful... . faceted glasses! And Olya offered to buy ice cream - it could turn out to be a delicious cocktail. And we first put the ice cream in the glasses, and I began to pour champagne on top - it was a gross mistake. The next day I came to Olya’s work. with a bouquet of flowers and a small gift. I packed the same glass with a note: “The most ordinary looking glass, but so many wonderful memories!” This is how our family began the tradition of making surprises for each other and collecting tender notes.” The couple have been together for 5 years and have a 10-month-old son, Ivan.

With his wife Lida Evgeniy Smorigin We've been together for over 9 years now. The couple has three children: 7-year-old Lesha, 5-year-old Lisa and 3-year-old Sasha. “I met Lida in a very interesting way - she was my neighbor. She lived in the house where I rented one of the first apartments in Kyiv. And after a while she moved behind my wall,” recalls Zhenya. “She is from Poltava, by profession. She came to build career in Kyiv, graduated from Narkhoz. And most importantly, when we met, she didn’t know who I was, in the sense that I play in KVN and that I’m shown on TV.” According to Smorigin, he was present at the birth of his children all three times, and now he often puts them to bed. “Our family has a wonderful tradition - every Christmas, the children and I learn carols, and they go to the neighbors and “sow” them! Last year, the children learned carols for a whole week - and that’s five verses, by the way! And now on January 7, after dress rehearsal, I dressed them in angel costumes, and we went to congratulate the neighbors. The money we earned was enough for a large construction set.”

Nowadays, television programs of a humorous nature are extremely popular. This is due to the fact that people are tired of the difficulties of current life and want to spend their free time with their favorite comedians, whose jokes allow them to forget about everyday problems and give them the opportunity to relax at least a little. The 2018 Diesel Show project is regularly broadcast on the ICTV channel and belongs to those programs that not only lift your spirits, but also inspire hope for the future.

History of the project

The year of birth of the creative association “Diesel” can be called 2006. Then the Nikolaev team “Diesel” wins the national KVN competition and decides to start their own career. In 2007-2010 The association participates in “Evening Quarter” - an entertainment show on Ukrainian TV. In 2013, team members began collaborating with the ICTV channel, which aired their show “Men’s Club.” Over time, television crews invited the guys to create a larger-scale project, which they called “Diesel Show.”

Actor E. Krutogolov and screenwriter M. Shinkarenko invited A. Blanar, who at one time played in the KVN team “Three Fat Men,” to their project. By that time he already had extensive experience working on TV.

Over time, A. Blanar became the team’s producer, and the project was recognized as the best humorous program on Ukrainian TV. In 2016, the creators of the program earned the highest award - “Teletriumph”. The program received such high praise for its four-hour New Year's episode. Now “Diesel Show” can compete on equal terms with such a popular program as “Evening Quarter”.

All people are different and have different tastes and sense of humor. The actors of the Diesel studio try to make the audience laugh without going into politics. Of course, there are some sketches that make fun of officials, but the performances of the artists have a more social orientation. As the producer of the “Diesel Show” stated, the artists know about the Ukrainian audience’s love to laugh at politicians. At the same time, they understand that the Ukrainian audience is already tired of the “mouse fuss” that reigns in the power structures. Therefore, actors do not want to waste their creativity on political acts. The team's sketches are more aimed at life problems and specific people whom the whole country knows. The actors, together with the audience, want to figure out where certain phenomena come from in our lives.

The composition of "Diesel Studio"

Today the team consists of nine actors and fifteen members of the writing team.

Where can I watch the show?

In addition to these actors, more than a hundred specialists who remain behind the scenes are involved in the project. All their work is aimed at raising the spirits of millions of viewers not only in Ukraine, but throughout the CIS.

Today, all episodes of the Diesel Show performances can be watched on YouTube. Judging by the comments, the artists’ humor is liked in Belarus, Kazakhstan, America, Europe, Israel, Australia - wherever there is a significant Russian-speaking diaspora. The popularity of the project once again confirms that high-quality humor has no boundaries.

The team also conducts active touring activities in Ukraine. More details about the busy schedule of the “Diesel Show” can be found on the official website of the project.

In the last 3 days of winter and the first day of spring 2017, the premiere screening of the Diesel Show project will take place in Israel for the first time. In anticipation of the tour, the editors of the Glamur website talked with some of the project participants.

The questions were answered by the actors of “Diesel Show” - bright, funny, able to amuse even the most biased viewer Egor Krutogolov, the most active actor of the project Evgeniy Gashenko, Ukrainian Belarusian Evgeniy Smorigin, as well as the best all-Ukrainian mother-in-law - Marina Poplavskaya.

Tell us how the actors got together in “Diesel Show”?

Egor Krutogolov: When we decided to do a television concert and realized that it was time to expand the author and cast, we began to look closely at those who were currently at the top. And a fortunate coincidence occurred when we were invited to a certain humorous concert in the October Palace, where Marina Poplavskaya and Zhenya Smorigin performed. We looked at the reaction of the audience and realized that these were our guys. Later, Zhenya suggested that we take Vika Bulitko to the team, because they had several joint projects together. At that time, Victoria worked at the Theater on Podol, where I honestly sat through 1 act, then left.

Because the play was not for me, let’s say, but I was inspired by her work and made her an offer to collaborate. Then I brought my friend Oleg Ivanica. When the need to find a pretty blonde became ripe, Yana Glushchenko appeared in the “Diesel Show”. Yana and I had an episode in the TV series “Taxi”, where she played my girlfriend. We even had a kiss! And, probably, this is how it became etched in my memory and in my teeth. So, when I needed to find a cheerful blonde, Yana was the first to come to mind. This is how our team came together.

Marina Poplavskaya: I received a message from Yegor that he had an offer for me. I sat in the Ukrtelefilm studio and simply froze. Afterwards I even ended up in the hospital. But all the time this SMS and the thought warmed me: what does he want? Well, maybe take part in some kind of sketch-com... I didn’t know that such a thing would attack me.

How did the name “Diesel Show” come about?

Evgeniy Gashenko: At first there was the KVN team “Gang Diesel”, and then we decided that we didn’t need a gang.

Evgeny Smorigin: We just want to make strong, creative humor and “Diesel Show” is the most appropriate name.

If you imagine the “Diesel Show” as a dish, then it is obvious that it contains many ingredients for success. But which ones exactly, please list?

Egor Krutogolov: Well, I will compare it with my favorite dish - Olivier salad. Indeed, all the ingredients are very different and, if you lay out these ingredients separately, you will think: “Lord, how can this even work!? To be so delicious!?” But when you combine it in the right proportion - which is important - it turns out to be mega-delicious. Peas are our Evgeny Gashenko, because they have an explosive character, especially in combination with other products - with milk, for example. I guess it's potatoes. Well, who has the balls? Well, Oleg Ivanica will be associated with eggs. Our pickled cucumber will be Vika Bulitko - not because she is pregnant (laughs), but because it is a folk product and loved by everyone. Our sausage will be Yana Glushchenko, our Smorigin will be a carrot, and Marina Frantsevna Poplavskaya will cover it all with mayonnaise. And without a glass of vodka, what kind of mayonnaise is it!? Vodka will be Alexander Berezhok.

The Diesel Show has a simple rule: “Lots of good humor, music and no politics.” What audience is your humor aimed at?

Egor Krutogolov: I believe that politics is the worst evil on earth and the less of it there is, the less we talk about it, the better it will be for everyone. Everyone will have more fun.

Each of you has several characters. Tell us about how you prepare for your performances and how the process of creating sketches goes. How problematic is it to switch between characters in one concert? After all, each role has its own character and it’s probably difficult to move from character to character so quickly?

Egor Krutogolov: There is a chief editor, Alexey Blanar, and several groups of authors who initially prepare, search for, and come up with ideas, themes and concepts for the issues. Nowadays, the “Diesel Show” can no longer have any kind of jokes - they must be relevant, tied to some kind of news occasion. Humor should be relevant, a cheerful reaction to some phenomenon. Then comes the search for a humorous engine, a humorous move. Then jokes are written. And the dialogues are written at the very last moment. Moreover, the artists also joke with a serious face. We don’t make jokes, we don’t make faces – that’s not how we cause laughter. A comic actor needs to play almost tragically in order to get humor. And we try not even to play, but to live the role, as it is described in the books of the classics, the same Stanislavsky.

Guys, watching your performances and the reaction of the audience, I can say that you are all very talented. What is real talent? Is it a gift, an obligation to someone, or a superpower that makes you a superhero?

Egor Krutogolov: This is a gift, but a gift that requires constant care: if you do not nurture it and work with it, then everything will wither.

Evgeniy Gashenko: People are born and become artists, and once they try, they remain forever. I know a lot about this because I have no special education. I am constantly learning and growing. I wouldn’t trade the stage and my success, the love of fans, applause and my roles on the Diesel Show stage for anything.

To feel the jokes of the Diesel Show team, you need to go to the concert. These are not my words. That's what everyone says. Explain to Israeli viewers why they should attend your show in Israel?

Evgeny Smorigin: Because our humor is popular and understandable to everyone. After all, in any country in the world there is a mother-in-law and a son-in-law, for example! We are close to the people, like a tractor running on diesel fuel. Our humor works in Ukraine, and TV ratings show this. And if they laugh in Ukraine, then they will laugh in Israel, I’m sure!

As far as I know, the Diesel Show's repertoire includes jokes about Jews. Are there any exclusive preparations specifically for Israel? Maybe “Diesel Show” will speak Hebrew?

Egor Krutogolov: Well, we won’t reveal the preparations. But I will announce that we are going to Israel with the newest program “Spring is funny.” It won’t be shown on TV yet, it won’t be on the Internet. That is, we are going with the premiere! And each of us speaks Hebrew at least a little. It’s just better not to say it from the stage (laughs).

How do you plan to spend your free time from concerts in Israel? Are there any places you are planning to visit?

Egor Krutogolov: We don't have much time. We rely on our organizers. We naturally want to see everything they can take us to. Of course, I want to plunge myself into the Dead Sea and see how I don’t drown in it.

Marina Poplavskaya: I want to meet my good friends whom I haven't seen for a long time. Visit holy places, walk along familiar streets. Although usually there is no time at all on tour, I hope I will be able to do everything planned.
