Sergiu Floroaia

Sergiu Floroaia (born 1 December 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. His style of humour is based on topical events, dark humour and the use of edgy one-liners, and his early influences were Steven Wright, Demetri Martin, Jimmy Carr and later Anthony Jeselnik.

Sergiu started doing comedy in 2006 at an open-mic night in Cafe Deko. In 2013 he partnered with fellow comedian Andrei Ciobanu and wrote "Unu-ntr-altu'" and "Mica rugaminte", two musical parody videos that became instant hits on YouTube, and the pair later hosted the morning show on the Romanian radio station Kiss FM. Also in 2013, he teamed up with Media Pro to release his first stand-up special on the video-on-demand service Voyo.

Sergiu is one of the first two Romanian comedians, together with Toma Alexandru, to perform stand-up comedy in English on Comedy Central Extra, and he was the opening act for Eddie Griffin in Bucharest for the 'Living Legend Tour'. In 2016, together with Toma Alexandru and Radu Isac, he performed and produced "The Romanians Are Here", their first show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. His awards include winning Gene Perret's "Words To Live By" Joke Writing Contest in 2014 and several viral video prizes at Webstock and Internetics.
