Stereotypes -- funny because they are true | Katerina Vrana | TEDxThessaloniki

Комедия

Stand-up comedian Katerina Vrana talks about stereotypes and makes us all believe that the reason that they are funny is that they are true. This 16 minutes performance has everything; from humor, inconvenient truths and family secrets, to the actress's plan for global domination. One thing is for sure: it will make you laugh wholeheartedly.
Katerina Vrana was born and raised in Greece. She went to study in the UK and stayed there. As an actress, she has appeared in TV series in Greece, stage productions in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as in short films in both Greece and the UK. As the well-known London arts magazine, Time Out, once reported "Katerina Vrana sparkles" on stage.

    There is *UNDENIABLY* nothing we can't understand here regardless of her nationality... Besides that she actually in fact FAILS miserably at humour and definitely that she is truly unfunny what else further proof do you want? We admit regardless of color and race that her humour sucks elephant dicks. That's just your opinion it doesn't.

    Her point about the rain is so true.

It takes like a few minutes to get soaked through but like back home the second you go outside you are soaked through.
