Born March 14, 1979 in Penza. Graduated from school No. 11.

He was the captain of the Penza KVN team "Valeon Dasson", as part of which he won the First League of KVN, earning the right to participate in the Major League. However, the Penza team was destined to play only one game in the Major League - having lost in the 1/8 finals of the 2001 season, "Valeon Dasson" did not participate in official games of the International Union of KVN anymore. He worked as a DJ for "Russian Radio in Penza" under the pseudonym Pavel Dobrovolsky, and hosted the program "Free Nails" on Moscow's "Russian Radio".

In 2001, he graduated from the Penza State Pedagogical University named after V. G. Belinsky, specializing in "teacher of Russian language and literature". Immediately after graduating, he left for Moscow to continue his career.

He worked as a scriptwriter for Igor Ugolnikov, and after the closure of the Good Evening program on STS, he moved to radio. He participated as the host of the Pen-Koloda and Poekhali! programs on Muz-TV, voiced Masyanya in the show Visiting Masyanya, and also hosted the morning show No Pasaran! on the Hit-FM radio station in 2002-2003.

On April 9, 2005, the Comedy Club program was presented in the Atrium shopping center. Volya defined his role as a "glamorous scumbag" under the pseudonym Pavel "Snezhok" Volya. In 2023, he decided to leave the show.

In 2007, he began his solo career. He recorded several tracks and shot videos for the songs “Everything Will Be Awesome,” “Mame!”, “Barvikha,” “The Very Best Song,” and “Penza-City.” He released a solo album, “Respect and Respect.” He starred in several commercials for the Khrusteam bread croutons. A video was distributed on the Internet in which hooligans beat and scold Pavel. Later, this video was recognized as a fake, made to advertise the musician’s new album.

From October to December 2010, he was the host of the hypnosis show “What did you do last Friday?” on the Ukrainian TV channel “1+1”.

On February 12, 2016, he released the album “Thoughts and Music”. The album included 11 songs.

He has been married to gymnast Laysan Utyasheva since November 2012. On May 14, 2013, Utyasheva gave birth to a son, Robert, in the United States, and on May 5, 2015, she gave birth to a daughter, Sofia, in the same clinic.

In 2016, during his performance in New York, he made unflattering remarks about the residents of Yekaterinburg. The published video of the performance caused a lot of dissatisfied responses on the Internet and calls for a boycott of Pavel's concert in Yekaterinburg scheduled for December of that year. Pavel Volya himself later said that it was a joke and accused the media of inflating the scandal. Pavel Volya's concert in Yekaterinburg in December 2016 was cancelled (as was a performance in another city, Tyumen): according to the comedian's administrator, the event organizers simply did not answer phone calls.

Many fans are sure that Pavel Volya, aka "glamorous bastard", aka Snezhok from Comedy Club became famous under a pseudonym. And in fact, he has a different first and last name. How did this happen, and who is he really, how much he earns and what exactly - in our material.

Pavel Alekseevich Volya was born in Penza on March 14, 1979. His parents, Aleksey Evgenievich and Tamara Alekseevna, three years after the birth of their son, had a daughter, Olga. To this day, many believe that the comedian's famous name is not real. In fact, Pavel Volya's name is Denis Dobrovolsky, that's how he is remembered in Penza. But the artist assures that when he took his first steps in his career in his native land, he took the pseudonym Denis Dobrovolsky and worked as a DJ on "Russian Radio" with it. Pavel Volya graduated from school with a silver medal. During his school years, the future comedian was an active child, participated in public life, played in KVN.

He entered the philological faculty of the Penza State Pedagogical University named after V.G. Belinsky to obtain the profession of a teacher of Russian language and literature. But he did not go to work at school, but went to Moscow to become famous. At the university, the star of the conversational genre gained experience performing in KVN in the team "Valeon Dasson", which once even won the First League. Together with Volya, Timur Rodriguez and Leonid Shkolnik tried to break into the Higher League, but after the first game, Maslyakov left the association. In 2001, after graduating from university, Pavel Volya moved to Moscow, where an interesting, eventful life began, full of prospects, meetings and leading to fame.

In Moscow, Pavel Volya was able to get a job as a scriptwriter at RTR with Igor Ugolnikov on the Good Evening program. After the program closed, the future stand-up comedian moved to Hit-FM radio, where he hosted the morning show No Pasaran! in 2002-2003. During those same years, he became the host of the Pen-Koloda program on Muz-TV, hosted Night Flirt on MTV together with Marika, and voiced Masyanya, whose popularity peaked at that time. Pavel Volya's participation in 2005 in the presentation of the new Comedy Club show for Russia became fateful. The comedian acted as the host of the event and has not left this position since then, so originally was he able to occupy this niche: from the first day, his gimmick became the presentation of guests, whom he sometimes ridiculed very harshly in front of everyone. The stars were especially hard hit - he walked over them, not mincing words.

Once, Volya's co-host, Artashes Sargsyan, announcing Pavel, introduced him as "Pavel "Snezhok" Volya. Why "Snezhok" is a question that fans still ask themselves to this day. Tash himself no longer remembers how it happened. But the nickname is still heard sometimes, and the artist himself has been branded as a "glamorous bastard." A little later, Pavel Volya tried himself in the stand-up genre – as a literature teacher, he liked playing with words. And to this day, the comedian goes on stage to discuss various topics: relationships between men and women, people's habits, the children's toy industry, existential topics that concern everyone, plastic surgery and artificial appearance, and many others.

Volya also participates in staging various numbers in the company of colleagues. For example, in 2017, Olga Buzova's star as a singer lit up the stage. She released her debut album "Under the Sounds of Kisses", the real hits of which were the songs "I Get Used to It" and "Malo Polovin".

And Pavel Volya and Garik Kharlamov filmed a parody of the clips of this composition. First they lay in bed, like Buzova, and sang to the tune of "I'm Getting Used to It." And then they dressed up in bodysuits, like the singing TV presenter, showing their "half-assed" rears to the camera.

"Please don't judge us harshly,

“We are not homosexuals, we have mortgages,” the artists sang at the end.

The audience simply collapsed laughing, the comedians hit the mark with the parody, as they say, they hyped it up. As of early 2022, the video has already been viewed by 22 million YouTube users.

Currently, Garik Kharlamov, together with Volya, introduces guests at the beginning of the show. And according to the observations of many fans of the project, which, by the way, is already more than 15 years old, the duet has become incredibly sparkling.

In addition to his residency at Comedy Club, Pavel Volya was able to realize himself in several other areas in parallel.

For example, in 2007 Pavel Volya started singing. His hits "Everything will be awesome!", "Barvikha" and others were included in the solo album "Respect and respect" and were loved by many devoted fans. The musician himself starred in the video for the group "Legalize" "Future mothers" a year earlier. A little earlier, Volya made his film debut. The comedian starred in the TV series "Club" (2006), played in the comedy "The Best Film" (2008), parodying Dima Bilan, and appeared in the lead role in the crime drama "Plato" (2008).

Then there were the films "Bride at Any Price" (2009), "Love in the Big City - 2" (2010), "Office Romance. Our Time" (2011), "Happy New Year, Moms!" (2012), "Zombobox" (2017).

Pavel Volya became the host of the new TNT show "Laughter Without Rules" in 2007. Together with athlete Vladimir Turchinsky, he hosted nine seasons until the tragic death of his co-host. Then the project transformed into "Slaughter League", and since 2010 it has been Comedy Battle. In 2016, Pavel Volya became the host of the show "Improvisation". The project is based on improvisation games that artists Arseniy Popov, Dmitry Pozov, Sergey Matvienko and Anton Shastun play without preparation, based only on the data they receive from the host or guests of the program.

At various times, the show was attended by Olga Buzova, Anna Sedokova, Marina Kravets, Ksenia Borodina, and Garik Kharlamov. In 2018, together with Ekaterina Varnava, Pavel Volya became the host of the new music show “Songs” on TNT, which opened many talented names in show business – Kristina Kosheleva, Khabib and Evgenia Mayer, who signed contracts with Maxim Fadeev’s label MALFA, and DanyMuse and Nazima – with the Black Star label, which represented Timati in those years. Pavel Volya also writes lyrics. In the spring of 2018, the artist presented the audio album "Poems#1" to the public, in which he recorded three dozen of his poems.

Fans highly appreciated the work of the idol, and soon he presented his second album - "Add beauty", or "Poems # 2", which included works about love.

Before his marriage to Laysan Utyasheva, the public knows of only one romantic relationship of Pavel Volya. He dated model and MTV presenter Maria Kravtsova, best known as Marika. They lived together in a civil marriage for three years, but broke up in 2010. Currently, Pavel Volya is happily married to gymnast and TV presenter Laysan Utyasheva. They secretly got married in 2012. They had known each other for a long time, social life had brought them together more than once, and when the athlete's mother died, it was Volya who gave her strong support. In May 2012, Utyasheva and Volya had their first child, Robert, in Miami. And two years later, their daughter Sofia. The couple carefully hides the children's identities, not flaunting them on their social networks.

The comedian not only works on television, performing in comedy shows and appearing in commercials (many viewers remember the bright image of Volya in the commercials about the croutons "Khrustim"). The comedian is also a successful fashion businessman. He founded the VolЯWear brand and annually releases new collections of sportswear for men and women, and his wife, a former gymnast Laysan Utyasheva, helps him with this. The level of income that Volya brings from advertising, business, filming and touring exceeded 2.5 million dollars, which allowed him to take 44th place in the Forbes rating of “Top Russian Celebrities - 2021”.

Biography In the spring of 2023, many new programs were launched on Russian television. Some of the new projects only slightly changed the name and format of the programs of previous years. Thus, "Umnee vsekh" with Tina Kandelaki resembles her quiz "The Smartest", and the program "Na Vyhod!" with Maria Kiseleva seems to be an almost complete clone of "Slaboy Zvena". "Show Volya" on TNT, which premiered on April 16, according to the idea of ​​the authors, was to fill the niche that was empty after the suspension of the program "Evening Urgant".

History of creation Shortly before Ivan Urgant took a break from his TV career, Kandelaki became acting director of TNT. The charming TV shark tried to get both Ivan Andreevich's team and the support of his show's general sponsor, Alfa Bank, but the mission was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the idea of ​​launching a "killer of Evening Urgant" continued to excite the best minds of "Your New Television".

The news that TNT is preparing to release a comedy show with Pavel Volya's performances flew around the Russian media 2 weeks before the premiere. The channel's producer Konstantin Obukhov said that Russian television now needs direct communication with the audience and that a comedian would be appropriate as the host of a program of this format.

Unlike Ivan Andreevich's show, which aired on weekday evenings, it was decided to air the new show from Volya on Sundays. The pilot episode of "Show Volya" was filmed on April 12 and 13 at Mosfilm.

Presenter and participants Pavel Alekseevich is not a newcomer to the role of host of various projects. Volya has experience as a TV presenter of such programs as "Pen-koloda", "Ubonaya Liga", "Smekh Bez Pravil", Comedy Club and its branches, "Improvisation". In the first episode of the new show, Pavel's guests were Garik Kharlamov and Vasily Vakulenko (Basta), and the co-host, who is responsible for a humorous review of the week's events, is stand-up comedian Ilya Sobolev (Sobol). Unexpected moments of the program were the promotion of a brand of Russian lemonade, about which Volya said: "The same as me, only a drink", and the invitation as a participant of 15-year-old Yekaterinburg resident Arseny Goryachkin, who developed a refrigerated container for insulin and other drugs that require low storage temperatures. "Show Voli" on TNT now The debut episode of "ShV" was not approved by all viewers and media. Thus, television critic Andy Goldred described the new TNT project as "dross and plagiarism", and many jokes seemed vulgar and unfunny to reviewers.

TNT director Tina Kandelaki responded to the criticism, calling Pavel Volya the main showman of Russian TV, who is assisted in the project by "the brightest stars, the strongest scriptwriters, the best producers." In addition, the boss of the TV channel said that initially part of the creative concept of the project was that another iconic TNT personality, Garik Martirosyan, would become the host of "Show Volya," which would be "powerful and hyped" and, perhaps, will be implemented in the future.

Interesting facts At the end of 2010, Pavel Alekseevich hosted a show about hypnosis, “What did you do last Friday?” on the Ukrainian TV channel “1+1”. A Ural schoolboy, who became a guest on the first episode of Pavel Volya's new show, made the invention 3 years before the TNT project went on air. The story about the history of the creation of a mini-refrigerator for insulin and a photo of the young Kulibin was published by the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper on February 25, 2020. The show "Evening Urgant" first aired on April 16, exactly 11 years before the debut of "Show Volya". Some viewers compared Show Volya not only to Vecherniy Urgant and other Late Night format programs, but also to the American project The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired during the daytime from September 2003 to May 2022.
