Stand-up comedian, viitor dictator!

Viorel Dragu (Vio)

16 upcoming shows 8 in history

In a stage formula with Teo and Costel, Vio likes to describe himself as the Daddy Caddy of the stand-up group. He tells honest jokes, inspires Costel, and is a humor barometer for his colleagues' jokes. If Vio laughs, it means the joke is good. Besides stand-up comedy, Vio also performs in improv shows. He was also part of the cast of the feature film WebSiteStory, Dan Chișu's directorial debut.

He is from Buzău, graduated from the Academy of Economic Studies, and finally chose to be an entertainer in Bucharest. He started doing stand-up in 2004 at Cafe Deko, at a time when there were no amateur nights because no one was professional yet. He was inspired to do this by both foreign comedians and the guys who had started doing the first shows in the National Theater building.

In his ten years on stage, with shows both at Club 99 and around the country, he has contributed to the growth of the stand-up comedy phenomenon in Romania. Since 2009, he opened Club 99 together with Teo and Costel, the highest-rated local stand-up comedy club.

Vio is the moral compass of the podcast Între Showuri and sporadically sprinkles the podcast with a modern parable that makes you say: "Well, yeah...".

In his free time, he dreams of being elected dictator, to bring added value to the country. Vio believes that you are smart when you know things, and wise when you understand that knowing them is useless.
