A comedy and music spectacular!
Multi-talented Romanian comedian and actor Dragos Mostenescu will be bringing his new show Dragos & Friends to the Piano in Smithfield for a residency, starting on Thursday 30th May. The show is a blend of musical comedy and stand-up, freestyling seamlessly from one act to another with the guests stepping out of their comfort zone and do what they don’t normally do. Sometimes musicians dare to tell jokes and comedians attempt to sing and the results can be unexpectedly bonkers or surprising!
Born in Romania during the communist era, Dragos developed a deep appreciation for Western European entertainment, which inspired his journey into the world of comedy and acting. In 2017, Dragos relocated to the U.K. to pursue his dream of creating comedy and music for a broader international audience. His stage musical comedy show, ‘All Aboard!’, premiered at the Leicester Square Theatre and enjoyed a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it was lauded as a "Highly Recommended show" by The Fringe Review.
A passionate musician, Dragos showcases his skills on the piano and guitar, blending music with comedy to create a unique and captivating artistic fusion. Guided by the philosophy that "Age is just a number”, Dragos remains steadfast in his belief that unwavering dedication to one's passions is the true path to success. With his infectious energy, comedic prowess, and boundless creativity he continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
