Laugh with Victor Patrascan, Europe’s comedy nomad and rebel comedian-philosopher, who brings his show Stand up Comedy in broken English to Edinburgh. Victor’s humour has taken him to about 60 countries, millions of screens, and even onto a few government watchlists.

This live comedy show in Edinburgh features relatable insights, unscripted moments, and provocative observational humour about politics, culture, and the absurdity of modern life.

fresh jokes: expect 100% new jokes compared to the last year's show. Victor’s show is alive, shaped by the audience and driven by the news.

thought-provoking comedy: Victor isn’t going for cheap laughs, but to find the humour and truth in the chaos of life. He imparts bold, earnest and philosophical insights that stay with you long after the show ends.

safe front rows: Victor loves talking to the audience, but only to the ones who choose to join in. If you want to just watch the show, he won’t bother you.

Whether you are a local to Edinburgh, an expat, a traveler, or just confused by the modern world, come and laugh with friends and strangers at the things we usually argue about.
