Comedians born in Craiova

Craiova is the capital of Dolj County and the main city of Romania's Oltenia region, sitting near the Jiu River in the country's southwest. Long a centre of trade, industry and education, it has elegant squares, an art museum holding early works by the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, and a strong football tradition.

Its universities and theatres support a cultural life that increasingly includes stand-up comedy, among them Mihai Bobonete.
