Romanian-born comedian Dragoș is coming back to Washington, DC with a brand-new work-in-progress stand-up show! Organized with the support of Romanians of DC, this is your chance to catch one of Europe’s most distinctive English-language comedians as he develops his next hour of comedy. Join us on Wednesday, November 18 at Busboys and Poets – 14th & V, located at 2021 14th Street NW, Washington, DC. Doors open at 8:00 pm, with the show starting at 8:30 pm. The show is performed entirely in English.Dragoș is one of the pioneers of the English-language comedy scene in Europe. Born in Romania and now based in Berlin, he began his stand-up journey in Singapore and has since performed in more than 80 European cities and over 30 countries worldwide. His sharp wit, fearless crowd work, and darkly funny observations about modern life have earned him a loyal international following.
After three successful comedy specials — Hungry Hungry Dragon, Best Case Scenario, and The Schengen Special — Dragoș has received more than 650 reviews and built an online audience of over 700,000 followers on TikTok and over 500,000 on Instagram. His growing international reputation also earned him the opportunity to open for Grammy-nominated comedian Jim Gaffigan on his European tour.
During the lockdown, Dragoș wrote for Comedy Central while expanding his global audience. His comedy explores cultural differences, the Eastern European experience, emotional struggles, and the absurdities of everyday life, blending dry observations, vulnerability, and a distinctly dark sense of humor.
What can you expect from the new show?
This is a work-in-progress performance, offering a first look at Dragoș’s new material as it takes shape. Expect a dark, inquisitive, and hilarious exploration of the modern world, cultural misunderstandings, the Eastern European legacy, and the emotional peculiarities that make us human — along with spontaneous audience interactions and plenty of surprises.
Whether you’ve seen Dragoș perform before or are discovering his comedy for the first time, this is an opportunity to experience his newest material live and be part of the creative process as a new hour of comedy comes together.
