The work of a humorist seems to many to be simple and straightforward. But only the authors of funny miniatures and their performers know how difficult it is to make a person laugh. Natalia Korosteleva knows this firsthand. She is the only woman in Russia who has the status of a writer of a humorous genre.
From the biography of Natalia Sergeevna Korosteleva
The future actress of the humorous genre was born in Alma-Ata in 1973. Natalia's mother led the republican Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren. From a young age, the girl was brought up in a creative spirit. Natalia's dramatic talent was revealed in kindergarten. The childhood of the future actress was filled with theatrical lessons, playing the piano and creative inspiration.
By the end of school, Natalya already firmly knew which path she would take. She entered the Faculty of Dramatic Arts of the St. Petersburg Institute of Culture. She studied in the class of Boris Voitsekhovsky. Korosteleva graduated from the university in 1995.
The beginning of the career of Natalia Korosteleva
Natalia began her creative career as a soloist of the St. Petersburg Music Hall. The girl loved and knew how to sing, but did not consider this art the meaning of her life. Therefore, at the age of 22, Natalya moved to the capital of Russia and settled in a hostel "Gnesinka".
Korosteleva created her first humorous texts in the workshop of Yevgeny Petrosyan. However, she received her main income from singing in restaurants. Soon she met Mikhail Zadornov, who helped her in writing texts. One of the first successes of the comedian was the text of a letter she compiled from a nursing home to the President of Russia. This number was presented by Evgeny Petrosyan. The success was overwhelming, but all the laurels went to the performer. The name of the author of the text was noted only by colleagues in the humorous workshop.
Satirist Natalia Korosteleva
Many domestic comedians have achieved success on Korosteleva's opuses, including Svyatoslav Yeshchenko, Igor Mamenko, Sergey Drobotenko, Klara Novikova and Elena Stepanenko.
Since 1997, Natalia began to write texts for Yevgeny Petrosyan's performances. A year later, the actress begins to collaborate with television, composes scripts for "Crooked Mirror" and "Full House".
To make the viewer laugh is hard work. And not everyone can understand how difficult it is for a woman to compose "male" texts. However, from the outside it seems that Natalya Korosteleva copes with this task jokingly. She is convinced that the performance will be excellent if she falls in love with the artist for whom she is writing a miniature. Only in this case there is a fusion of goals and means of expressing thoughts. Almost all of Korosteleva's texts sound as if an artist on stage is given over to improvisation. Natalia very simply and accurately conveys her ideas to the audience, turning the most familiar everyday topics into works of stage art.
Personal life of the actress
Natalia Korosteleva works in a family union with Yuri Khvostov. Together they participate in humorous shows, give concerts and work on miniatures. Yuri and Natalya are the parents of a boy named Savely. Some time ago, an alarming situation developed in the family: the son was diagnosed with leukemia. Numerous friends and fans helped raise money for the treatment and saving the boy's life.
