Valeria Vulpe: Exes, Ex-Soviets & Banana Education

Spirit of Comedy winner Valeria Vulpe takes the Dutch Barn Vodka stage with a set that’s razor-sharp, politically cheeky, and effortlessly fearless. Blending dating trauma, Eastern European realities, and cultural whiplash into one brilliantly biting performance.

Originally from Moldova, Valeria delivers a perspective that’s equal parts dark, playful, and disarmingly honest - from ex-relationships to ex-Soviet history… and why neither stops texting.

Featuring observations on:

• Why people never truly stop thinking about their ex
• Turning audience couples into live emotional experiments
• Growing up in Moldova (border tensions included)
• Being from an ex-Soviet country… emphasis on ex
• Late-night “you up?” texts - geopolitically speaking
• Childhood table manners with questionable cutlery access
• Sex education via British volunteers and fruit
• Moving to the UK “for a better life”… still locating it
• Cultural differences in dating and paying for dinner
• Why doing “the least” isn’t attractive
• Moldova’s lack of racism (for now…)

Valeria’s delivery is cool, controlled, and lethal, the kind that wins competitions for a reason.
