Xtra Hot: Yury

“Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself...”

Name: Yury Ruzhyev

Age: 31

Sign: PISCES

“Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself,” says Russian-born, Toronto-based performer Yury. He likes men who read, so on a date expect him to take you to a bookstore. “I am inspired by talent, charisma, wit, sarcasm, honesty, straightforwardness and openness — all things that get me in trouble all the time.”

Catch Yury’s Viva Cabaret show at the Rivoli, Sun, Dec 15, 6pm. rushow.ru
