Comedians born in Turcoaia

Turcoaia is a rural commune rather than a city, set in Tulcea County in the Dobruja region of southeastern Romania, near the ancient Măcin Mountains and the Danube. Its economy rests on farming and quarrying, and the remains of a Roman fortress lie nearby.

Comedy reaches rural areas like this chiefly through touring performers visiting nearby towns, part of the broader rise of Romanian stand-up. The commune is linked to comedian Tănase George Alexandru.
