Ural Pelmeni (Russian: Уральские пельмени, romanized: Uralskie pelmeni) is a Russian comedy TV show broadcast by the Russian STS channel since October 18, 2009. The show is produced by the creative association "Ural Pelmeni". The show has a high TV viewing rating.[1][2][3]

History

The creative association "Ural Pelmeni" appeared in 1993 as a KVN team. It was one of the most popular KVN teams. In 2000, she became the champion of the KVN Top League.[4]

Since October 2009, Ural Pelmeni has been producing its own humorous show of the same name on STS channel.[5][6]

The creative association is also involved in the creation of other TV projects. In particular, in 2012, the team released a humorous talent show Meat Grinder ("МясорУПка") on STS channel.[7] In 2017–2018, some members of the team participated in the humorous show Merry Evening ("Весёлый вечер") on the channel Russia-1.[8] In 2023, the sitcom Mom will be against ("Мама будет против") was released.[9]

Format

The show "Ural Pelmeni" consists mainly of comical scenes (humor on household and social topics, rarely about politics). Comedians also perform funny songs, show parodies of famous personalities and TV shows, make interactive sessions with guests in the hall and improvisations. Sometimes invited celebrities take part in the show (for example, Aleksandr Revva, Gennady Vetrov, Igor Sarukhanov, Anfisa Chekhova, Nyusha, Yelena Malysheva and others).[10]

Until 2016, Sergey Netievsky was the host of the show. Since 2016, Maxim Yaritsa and Artyom Pushkin have been hosting the program.

The scripts of humorous numbers are written by both the actors themselves and the screenwriters.[11]
