Comedian Ilya Sobolev is set to host the new project “Show Volya,” featuring fellow comedian Pavel Volya. The development was announced with enthusiasm, signaling a fresh collaboration that fans are eagerly watching unfold.
Sobolev explained that he accepted the opportunity immediately. He cited a strong team behind the project and a comfortable dynamic with Volya as key reasons for his quick decision. He noted that while their past work had occasional sharp exchanges, the two have built a mutual understanding that allows for humor to land without crossing lines. Sobolev emphasized Volya’s ability to share jokes and blend different senses of humor, which he believes will enrich the show’s comedic landscape.
According to Sobolev, the pair share many common ground points, making it natural to craft material that resonates with a wide audience. He thanked Volya for inviting him to participate and teased that a misstep in the Volya show would have him heading back to Krasnoyarsk to resume his early career path, a lighthearted nod to his beginnings. The behind‑the‑scenes camaraderie is part of what could set the program apart, turning a simple show into a space where spontaneity and collaboration drive the laughs.
The weekly Sunday program is billed as a mix of celebrity guests and everyday participants who will join the host in witty reflections on last week’s events. The format promises playful banter, humorous challenges, and a dose of absurd competitions that invite both stars and ordinary people to participate in a shared comedic moment.
Earlier reports have noted that Pavel Volya, along with Laysan Utyasheva, is also involved in another reality project, the Dubai‑set series Survive, illustrating that Volya’s television footprint spans a variety of formats and locations. The new project with Sobolev stands to add another layer to Volya’s multi‑faceted hosting repertoire, potentially drawing in audiences who enjoy a blend of quick wit, friendly rivalry, and relatable humor.
