New Year Edition of Azamat Musagaliev’s Big Show Promises Glitz, Gags, and a Tough Laugh Test
The teaser for the New Year season of Azamat Musagaliev’s Big Show has made a splash online, with the program’s press team confirming the news to socialbites.ca. The clip hints at a festive, high-energy lineup that fans have been eagerly awaiting as the calendar turns a new page.
This season gathers a mix of personalities from show business and online culture who are known for their bold personalities and outspoken fan bases. In keeping with the program’s concept, the participants are placed in a sealed environment surrounded by cameras that capture every moment. The challenge is simple yet brutal: the aim is not to crack a smile; the one who endures the longest wins. The coveted prize money for the season stands at three million rubles, making the stakes clear from the outset and adding an extra layer of suspense for viewers watching every episode unfold.
The roster for the New Year edition includes a blend of bloggers, performers, and entertainers who regularly trend across social platforms. Oleg Mongol and Younger are joined by Irishka Chiki-Piki, showman Gia Gagua, Stas Baretsky, and Gauguin Solntsev. Also featured are actor Kirill Emelyanov, comedian Denis Dorokhov, and Nikolai Dolzhansky, a recognizable figure from Dom-2. The mix promises a dynamic clash of styles, from sharp wit to crowd-pleasing stunts, all under the constant gaze of the cameras and the public watching online.
In the newly released trailer, Younger is shown giving stagecraft tips to the broader internet audience while explaining popular dance moves borrowed from TikTok. Baretsky is heard labeling Dorokhov as his strongest rival, which hints at the friendly but fierce competition that will unfold once the episodes begin. This moment encapsulates the season’s blend of humor, rivalry, and showbiz bravado that fans have come to expect.
The New Year edition marks the seventh season of Big Show. The series has previously welcomed a roster of notable guests, including Nastya Ivleeva, Mikhail Galustyan, Artem Dzyuba, Leonid Slutsky, Stas Kostyushkin, Zoya Yarovitsyna, Anatoly Tsoi, Alexander Ptashenchuk, and Basta, each contributing to the show’s evolving narrative and broad appeal across audiences in Canada and the United States who follow the Russian entertainment scene. The new episodes are positioned to continue the tradition of combining celebrity spectacle with candid, unscripted reactions.
Audiences will be able to stream the season on the VK Video platform starting December 31, with the first episode scheduled to run at 14:00 local time. The streaming window is crafted to capture both early-watching viewers and late-night binge crowds, ensuring the season’s events reach a wide, global audience that appreciates the spontaneity and humor inherent to this format.
This development follows earlier industry chatter about the show and comes on the heels of recent public statements from participants about their expectations and strategies for success in the competition. The anticipation around this season is palpable, as fans weigh in on who might outlast the others and claim the top prize while the cameras keep turning. The big question remains: who among these personalities will be able to maintain composure under sustained pressure and deliver the kind of performance that keeps viewers hooked and talking long after the final episode airs.
