Such popularity of the artist is due to the fact that his jokes made everyone laugh, from the younger generation to older people.
Several years have passed since the day this performance ended, but until now all the organizers do not know who exactly is hiding under the guise of this man. Perhaps this is a young guy who portrays an old man or a nice grandfather with a great sense of humor. This person also aroused many questions from the audience, more and more reviews appear about him, both positive and negative. For some, this humor seems to be successful, while others think that this person has no place in youth shows.
Uncle Vitya and the Laughter Without Rules project
The magnificent participant did not stop at one performance, the next stage was the project "Laughter without rules". The comedian appeared on the big stage wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. He immediately aroused great sympathy and the girls who sat on the jury. He presented each performance on this project in the form of a dialogue with the judges. When he saw that Ksenia Borodina was sitting in this place, he subtly asked her about the show and the choice of shoes.
Despite the fact that Uncle Vitya at this time did not behave entirely culturally and a little bit angry, the audience nevertheless reacted cheerfully to his every joke.
This artist did not disregard other members of the jury. He also pointed out that they had achieved nothing in life and their problem areas. The character tried to show with all kinds that he was exactly granddad... He walked slowly across the stage and spoke in a voice typical of an elderly person. The judges willingly entered into a dialogue with him and spoke in reply phrases to his dialogue. Of course, everyone understood that this was, first of all, a humorous show, and since the audience was laughing, then Uncle Vitia had a completely good performance. It does not matter in what ways he achieved this success. It is for this reason that the members of the jury gave him the highest score.
Uncle Vitya and Comedy Battle
The project "Comedy Battle" has not been without this character. He took part in it for several seasons in a row. Unfortunately, the first time he failed to reach the final, he dropped out a few steps before winning. However, he did not despair and tried to come to the project at the second stage. This time the jury members were famous people: Sergei Svetlakov, Semyon Slepakov and Alexander Revva. The elderly artist also began his performance by addressing the jury. Unlike past performances, his usual jokes were not received so positively, and a few minutes after he was on stage, two of the judges pressed red buttons. However, the positive man quickly corrected the situation and ensured that the jury members changed their minds about him. At the moment, Uncle Vitya is a participant in the Comedy Battle show. It is not yet known whether he will win the project or leave it at the next stage. However, he received a comment from the jury, they did not like that, unlike many participants, this person comes to the stage without prior preparation.
Many viewers of the TV show's official website also believe that it is unfair to give the victory to the person who improvises on stage and does not show a full performance.
Business and performance

Uncle Vitya - Ilya Sobolev
The character named Uncle Vitya, according to some assumptions, is called Ilya Sobolev. He gave himself such a name, as he believed that it would emphasize his image. All viewers see this artist on stage as a mischievous old man who speaks insolently and arrogantly to the audience. He perfectly manages to answer with humor the questions of the jury, improvise and compose texts from the phrases proposed by the organizers of the show. However, no one saw him in other genres. It is also not known what kind of person is hiding under this mask. Uncle Vitya keeps intrigue in front of the audience to the end and does not reveal his true face to anyone. Even with all the staff of the channel, he communicates in the same manner. Perhaps it is for this reason that he is of interest to the audience. Journalists tried to get to the truth, but they only managed to find out that this man is married and is a happy family man.
So who is Uncle Vitya from Comedy Battle? This question will torment all TNT channel fans for many years to come. This funny character is not going to reveal his identity and stop participating in such projects, perhaps it is about for this reason, he fell in love with all spectators.

The essence of the program is exposing the stars. They come to the studio, and Uncle Vitya gives them 1,000,000 rubles, and then asks sharp questions of any kind, on the most sensitive topics.
If the guest is modest and does not answer, he gives a certain amount back, the more modest the participant, the poorer.
The first season is already on the screen. The program begins to gain views and its popularity is predictable - the project is almost a win-win. After all, what interests the main audience is the peppered stories from the lives of stars.

Ilya Sobolev "Bad Jokes"
In the winter of 2018, the comedian announced a new show "Prozharka", which started on the TNT4 channel. As part of the project, budding comedians and humor professionals ridiculed a particular person throughout the entire release. Olga Buzova became one of the first heroines of the program.
Uncle Vitya is an outrageous character in humorous shows that appear on the TNT channel. Viewers are sure that under his mask is a young comedian, whose name is still kept secret. A funny old man became the star of the Comedy Battle, Laughter Without Rules, and then created his own project.
Character story
When Uncle Vitya first appeared on the stage of "Slaughter League", people wondered who was playing him. Some did not doubt that this was a real person. After all, the actor who reincarnated as him cleverly hid under professional makeup and did not give himself away.
Uncle Viti always has one image. Old worn trousers, checkered shirts worn over a turtleneck, and a vest or jacket. Moving around the stage, typical of an elderly person, brings up even greater doubts. The name Uncle Vitya, or rather a pseudonym, was invented by the man himself, which further emphasizes the created image.
The comedian is good at the conversational genre when he has to quickly come up with a funny answer to questions from the jury and improvise. However, the man was not seen in other directions. It is not known for certain who is hiding behind the mask of a grumpy old man. The organizers of the show, in which he participates, assure that the man communicates with them in the same way as on stage.
Ilya Sobolev (alleged uncle Vitya without makeup) Although Uncle Vitya tries to keep the intrigue to the last and does not reveal his true face, attentive viewers drew conclusions for themselves. The main version is that he is hiding under the guise of a swanky pensioner. He is a TNT comedian and a former kavin player who has a reputation for being a funny guy performing in stand-up style in miniatures.
Such conclusions were made by viewers of humorous programs after a careful comparison of the photos of Sobolev and Uncle Viti. Despite the use of makeup, users found similarities in the facial features of these two people. Moreover, as "experts" assure, the image of the old man is not accidental. It is partially copied from the film "Man on the Moon" from Sobolev's favorite film.
Those who closely watched Laughter Without Rules also made their own conclusions. Uncle Vitia's voice, rough and harsh, broke off on the air of the program, and the phrase “He is no longer a defender” was pronounced in the voice of Sobolev.
The main distinguishing feature of this character is jokes. More precisely, in the translation of any questions addressed to him on the theme of the love affairs of an elderly person. The boorish unbridled Don Juan seems repulsive and outrageous to the audience. However, his wit allows you to quickly come up with a suitable answer and make the whole audience laugh.
No matter how hard journalists and simply fans of TNT humorous projects tried to get to the bottom of the truth, the attempts were in vain. Sobolev and the channel's management argue that these are two different people, Ilya has nothing to do with Uncle Vita.
In May 2018, in an interview for the Talking Heads Youtube channel, Sobolev personally answered an exciting question, assuring the presenter that Uncle Vitya was not him. Therefore, everyone can continue to wonder whether this character is real, or whether he is skillfully played by a professional actor.
