Claudiu Teohari

Claudiu Mihail Teohari (born November 11, 1981), known professionally as Teo, is a Romanian stand-up comedian, writer and occasional actor. After rising to fame in his native Romania as a household name in Bucharest's Deko Cafe, he was catapulted to internet fame by a series of YouTube recordings of his routines that went viral. Born in Bucharest in 1981, he grew up in the neighborhood of Titan and later studied business management at the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies. He gave his first public performance in early 2004 at Deko Cafe during an open mic night, and together with fellow comics Costel Bojog and Viorel Dragu became an overnight sensation when their routines were published on YouTube in 2006. After financial disagreements with Deko Cafe's management in 2009, he co-founded his own comedy club, Club 99. In 2009 he debuted his own weekly comedy show, Dupa Bloguri, on Realitatea TV, and from late 2013 he began hosting the YouTube series Nimic Nou. He has also released several stand-up specials, including ones on Comedy Central Extra and YouTube.
