Dragos on Breaking Through, Touring Europe & Building Comedy Independently | The Show Must Go Wrong
What does it take to build a stand-up comedy career independently in Europe? In this episode of The Show Must Go Wrong, I’m joined by Romanian comedian Dragos to talk about tough crowds, touring Europe, and building a comedy audience from the ground up. We get into performing crowd work in Romanian, shared Eastern European experiences, and how Dragos approached comedy early on with a clear plan for success. We also talk about balancing producing and writing, building an hour of material, and the realities of touring independently across Europe. From Flixbus horror stories to terrible venues, bad shows, and the early grind of stand-up comedy, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to make comedy work outside the traditional industry system. We also get into social media, crowd work clips, and how comedians are building audiences online today. If you’re into stand-up comedy, touring stories, and comedy behind the scenes, this episode is for you. 🎤 Full episodes every Monday 🎧 Also available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6clh... — 🎟 Go see Dragos live!
