Fashionable, recognized and successful. Such stellar personalities are perfectly familiar with the psychology of the viewer. How to impress the audience, intrigue, shock? The showman is the king of parties, from gray gatherings they create an enchanting show. We get used to them, strive for TV screens in order to once again enjoy the spectacle and relax.

And what a shame it is when the usual presenter does not perform in your favorite entertainment TV project. The viewer is disappointed and demands an explanation - where is the star! The same questions arose when the beloved Comedy Woman lost her beloved host. Why did Khrustalev leave Comedy Vumen?

Biography of the showman

Dmitry Yuryevich is a native Petersburger (he was born in the city on the Neva in 1979). Even at school, Mitya became the soul and favorite of the company. Not a single performance, theatrical school production could do without him. But Dima came to the big stage in an original way.

At the end of school, the future star of the scene entered the Agrarian Institute, a year later he transferred to the Aerospace University of Instrument Engineering and successfully graduated.

How many years can I remember myself Mitya said, I was so drawn to jokes, laughter and fun. I was bored and uninterested in the institute, I wanted something bright, noisy and dazzling.”

He tried himself as a dance teacher (as a child, Dmitry studied ballet), but this did not captivate. Fate condescended to him and brought a team to KVN in 1989, opening the door to a serious show business.

KVN. Participating in the Major League Club, Dmitry made it to the finalists of the "King of the Carnival" competition, taking third place after Evgeni Plushenko and Sergey Shnurov. Khrustalev, leading the university team, overtook eminent stars in popularity.

KVN tours were sold out across the country, the halls were packed with people who love jokes and the sparkling humor of KVN players. In less than twenty years, the leader of the team, Mitya, was already driving limousines, staying in fashionable hotels and leading a crowd of fans. A test of glory fell upon him - a star disease.

Stories about rudeness to waiters and Dmitry's arrogant behavior appeared on the pages of the press. But the smart young man managed to overcome stellar habits. KVN Mitya gave many years. Initially, participation in competitions was entertainment for the guy, but soon the project switched to a commercial basis and Dmitry got the opportunity to earn money.

Work in the theater. Soon, Dima's cherished dream came true - to enter a real theater stage. The showman's friends, directors Moschitsky and Sarvin, invited him to participate in the production of Interview with the Vampire. All performances with the participation of Mitya were accompanied by a noisy full house.

Khrustalev continued to participate in theatrical productions. On account of the performances "Krasavcheg-prynts", "Love in three", where his colleagues in KVN participated - Viktor Vasiliev and Polina Sibagatullina. On the stage of the Music Hall, Dmitry acquired a diploma as a pop artist.

comedy club. In 2000, Mitya and his colleague and friend Viktor Vasilyev were invited to the new youth show Comedy Club. Some viewers perceive this project negatively, considering it indecently cheeky. According to Mitya “We did not appear on stage armed with vulgarity. Each joke was worked out, trying to bring intelligence and subtle humor into it.

The Comedy Club is attended by former members of Dmitry's KVN team - Garik Martirosyan, Timur Batrutdinov, Garik Kharlamov, Pavel Volya and Timur Rodriguez.

Film career. The first film debut took place with Mitya in 2004. He participated in the filming of the humorous series Let Me Enter. Two years later, the showman starred in the next television series Alice's Dreams. The success of the film actor came to Khrustalev after participating in the movie "The Best Film 2" (2009).

Dmitry's personal life Who is Mitya married to? The showman lived in a civil marriage. His wife Victoria Dyachuk is a lawyer and has nothing to do with the stage. After living together for 10 years, they broke up. Dmitry's personal life is shrouded in darkness, they are talking about an affair with Ekaterina Barnabas (a colleague in Comedy Woman). But since 2014, Mitya has positioned himself as a free man.

"It's easier to work with women"!

So Dmitry spoke about the role of the host in the popular Comedy Vumen show. Fate threw him to charming girls in 2008. The new project instantly became popular. What is the reason for the overwhelming success? The members of the group are from KVN, bright, memorable players came to Comedy Woman:

• Natalya Andreevna - a small "dandelion on crooked legs" ("Megapolis").
• Maria Kravchenko is a pontoon gopnitsa (“Team of Small Nations” and “Own Secrets”).
• Ekaterina Varnava is a sex symbol (“Own secrets and the “Team of Small Nations”).
• Polina Sibagattulina - St. Petersburg secular lady, poetess ("USSR Team").
• Natalya Medvedeva is an inadequate and desperate girl ("Fyodor Dvinyatin").
• Ekaterina Skulkina - "a descendant of Genghis Khan" ("Four Tatars").
• Maria Fedunkiv is an eccentric woman from the people ("Dobryanka").
• Tatyana Morozova is a Russian simple woman ("LUNA").
• Nadezhda Sysoeva - blonde ("Territory of the game").
• Nadezhda Angarskaya - Yakut singer ("Deja Vu").

Dmitry Efimovich, the chief director of the show, recalls: “Comedy Vumen is far from the Comedy Club style. This is another genre of dazzling and noisy stage, where there are songs, dances, reincarnations and magic! We bring jokes to the stage that make the viewer think. Girls work in the genre of clown eccentrics.

Interesting fact. Although we see bright beauties on stage, jokes for women's cabaret are invented and developed by men (the leadership of Comedy Vumen is male).

Over the years of work in a humorous show, Khrustalev has played a huge number of roles. One can only sympathize with how much the permanent presenter took out jokes and jokes in his own address, entering the stage of the women's show. But, looking with what pleasure Dmitry works, it is difficult to say that this state of affairs does not suit him.

During her work at Comedy Vumen, Mitya has developed a warm and trusting relationship with the girls.

As the showman recalled: “I always felt comfortable among girls. After all, since childhood, he was engaged in ballroom dancing - there are only girls around. And he was friends with them as a schoolboy. In general, it’s more interesting with girls, a man is football, a bathhouse and beer. But with girls, the brain turns on, other topics arise.

So why not Dimitri? He went to where they pay more? Judging by the words of Mitya: “I changed my profession, because I love and respect comfort and convenience. And these two things are achieved with the help of money. I went into the entertainment show business as soon as the work there began to bring me a good income. If something somewhere will bring more money, I will go there.”

Where did Dmitry go?

The first rumors about Mitya's departure from the show spread when the brilliant presenter was seen together with Ivan Urgant in the Evening Urgant program airing on Channel One. But Comedy Woman fans calmed down when they learned that Mitya was not removed from the role of host and combined both positions.

Fans were alarmed when new episodes without Khrustalev were released in 2014. What happened to Dimitri? Was he kicked out? Why was the star removed? Will we see Mitya in season 6?

Dmitry had to leave the women's cabaret because of the offer to participate in the co-host of the new comedy show of the STS channel "Leningrad Stand-up Club". The program is based on competitions and comedians, the main task of which is to make the audience laugh.

Combining three positions became physically impossible and Mitya had to choose. Charming presenter chose. Comedy Vumen was left without Khrustalev. Dmitry left the women's project.

Because of what Mitya made such a choice, the audience can only guess. Maybe it's all about personal life? Rumor has it that Khrustalev did not part with his common-law wife Victoria. And living in two cities is too destructive for family life. And Dmitry is tired of being torn between Moscow and St. Petersburg? He made the right choice for himself.

The further fate of the showman

Where is Khrustalev now? Dmitry also works in two St. Petersburg entertainment programs. He did not forget about the film career. In 2015, the comedy film Temporarily Unavailable was released, where Mitya played one of the main roles.

Together with his friend Viktor Vasiliev, Khrustalev led the popular parody project "Variety Theater" for 4 months. The benefit performance had to be interrupted in order to participate in the dance show "Dance", where Dmitry came as a member of the jury.

Khrustalev is actively involved in charity work. Mitya is a trustee of the Galchonok Foundation (helping children with CNS lesions). He also cooperates with the Gift of Life Foundation (help in the treatment of children with oncology).

On the eve of the New Year 2015, Comedy Woman fans were waiting for good news - Khrustalev is back! But the joy of the fans turned out to be premature - Mitya returned to the show temporarily. To dance the famous, legendary dance from the movie "Dirty Dancing" with the participants of the women's cabaret in the New Year's edition of the program.

Where did Dimitri disappear to? This is not a disappearance, but a development. Life goes on, new talents wake up, tempting offers and hobbies appear. People with such a temperament are bright, incendiary, they cannot stand in one place. They are moving forward, they need growth!

Good luck, Dmitry Khrustalev!
