Katerina Vrana: Staying Alive

Katerina Vrana, one of Greece‘s top stand-up comedians, is coming to the UK in October 2023, with her smash-hit show “Staying Alive (I nearly died, you know)”.

The most entertaining and uplifting story of nearly dying you’ve ever heard!
The show has been selling out in Greece consistently since 2019 when it opened and in February 2023 it sold out every city on its European tour.

Before 2017, Katerina had been performing stand-up in both Greek and English all over the world, her shows selling out in Athens and London and at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals.

CNN included her in its list of “Female Comedians To Watch“ and in 2016 she came third in the Laugh Factory’s international competition “Funniest Person in the World“.

In April 2017, while on tour in Malaysia, Katerina fell seriously ill and nearly died. Her recovery has been slow and, according to her, extremely boring. She was able to get back on stage in 2019 and would have been on tour sooner if it wasn’t for that f***ing pandemic thing.
Katerina spends most of her time between performing and rehabilitation, as she has difficulties with her balance, movement, eyesight, and speech. Her hearing and hair remain unaffected.

* All shows will be in the English language
