Olivia Barbulescu: Work in Progress Comedy Show

Each month, Olivia Barbulescu (PBS, New York Comedy Festival) develops new material for her evolving hourlong comedy storytelling show.

Blending sharp stand-up with deeply personal storytelling, Olivia explores family dynamics, eldest-daughter pressure, identity, and the quiet absurdities of trying to function like a normal person in modern life. Her comedy is smart, emotionally precise, and unafraid to sit in the uncomfortable middle of things.

This show is a work in progress, which means you’ll see the material take shape live. Some parts are polished, some are brand new, and occasionally something gloriously unhinged sneaks through.

Expect personal stories, family chaos, dry honesty, and hyper-specific observations.
