Sergiu Floroaia (born December 1, 1984), known professionally by the mononym Sergiu, is a Romanian stand-up comedian and comedy writer. He is one of the first Romanians to be featured on Comedy Central Extra, with six comedy specials.[1][2] He hosted, together with Andrei Ciobanu, the morning show on Romanian radio station Kiss FM (Romania).[3][4] His style of humour is based on topical events, dark humour and the use of edgy one-liners.[5]
Sergiu started doing comedy in 2006 at an open-mic night in Cafe Deko. His early influencers were Steven Wright, Demetri Martin, Jimmy Carr and later Anthony Jeselnik.[6][7]
In 2013, Sergiu partnered with Andrei Ciobanu, also a comedian, and wrote "Unu-ntr-altu'" and "Mica rugăminte", two musical parody videos that became instant hits on YouTube.[8]
Sergiu is one of the first two Romanian comedians, together with Toma Alexandru, to perform stand-up comedy in English on Comedy Central Extra.[9][10] He was the opening act for Eddie Griffin in Bucharest for the 'Living Legend Tour' show.[11]
In 2016, together with Toma Alexandru and Radu Isac, Sergiu Floroaia performed and produced "The Romanians Are Here" - their first show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. [12]
