Vulpe Valeria

About

Valeria Vulpe is a stand-up comedian from Moldova who has built a remarkable career in the United Kingdom and the United States. After a decade spent as a Data Scientist at Google, where she developed expertise in data analysis and applied mathematics, she transitioned to the world of comedy, demonstrating that a career change can lead to unexpected successes. This shift from a rigid technical field to the artistic sphere marked a turning point in her life, transforming her from a technology specialist into a recognized comedic voice on the international stage. Valeria's artistic achievements have been impressive and rapid. In 2025, she won the prestigious Spirit of Comedy competition, which opened the door for her to open for comedian Ricky Gervais at Wembley Arena in London. Prior to this success, she was a finalist at So You Think You're Funny in Edinburgh and was nominated for Leicester Comedian of the Year. Her comedic style is characterized by a deadpan presence and mordant wit, with a unique humor that juxtaposes her experience of growing up in Moldova with the incisive observations of an immigrant living from one visa to another. The specialized press has praised her, describing her as having a quiet presence with a fresh perspective and strong writing. In addition to her work as a comedian on stages in London and New York, including at clubs like Top Secret Comedy Club and Broadway Comedy Club, Valeria also hosts a YouTube series called "3 Shots," funded by Ricky Gervais, where she interviews guests over drinks. Her strong educational background in mathematics and science, complemented by her studies at the London School of Economics where she earned a Merit degree, provides her with a unique perspective on storytelling. Her international experience and fluency in multiple languages (English, Romanian, French, Spanish, and Russian) position her as a global voice in contemporary comedy, proudly representing her Moldovan roots on world stages.
