Dmitry Sokolov is a famous KVN-schik, comedian and showman. Its appeal is that it says absolutely hilarious things with a completely serious face.
Childhood
Dmitry Sokolov was born in April 1965 in the city of Pervouralsk near Yekaterinburg.
Dmitry, according to his mother, grew up a mobile and mischievous child. He was much interested in life, and he tried to try everything. Fortunately, Dima had an older sister, who often directed him on his life path.
Dima often played different scenes at home. Once the master of TV set-up, having seen Dima’s concert, was surprised why the Sokolov family needed a TV.
Education
At school, teachers complained about Dmitry for restraint, and the boy was not particularly interested in studying. But he selflessly attended a music school, although the teachers said that Dima had neither a hearing nor a voice. Now I think, but did he play the teachers that he did not hear the notes? For fun?
After graduation, Dmitry chose the Ural Polytechnic Institute, because his sister studied here, and she often told her brother about a fun student life. Dima, having entered the institute, instantly joined the team, starting to play in the student theater "Horizon".
KVN
Having thoroughly studied the structure of the student theater, Dmitry decided to create his own project. So the well-known KVN team “Ural dumplings” appeared. Sokolov recruited interesting guys from other student theaters into the team. So the unique composition of the KVN team was born, which has existed for many years and invariably produces high-quality humor. All the guys are bright individuals, talents, but they complement each other so much that they function as a single organism.
Playing in KVN, “Ural dumplings” were very successful - they won the 2000 season, several prizes of the music festival in Jurmala and the Super Bowl of winners.
Television career
After the end of the KVN games, many teams break up, participants begin to live their own lives, far from humor. But the "Ural dumplings" violated this tradition. They have made KVN a profession and earn good money on it. It is noteworthy that they did not join some existing television shows, but created their own television project, where they continue to perform as a team. And their humor turned out to be very popular today in Russia.
