IN PROGRESS: becoming a first ever comedian to perform in EVERY European country! Left to do are Belarus
and Vatican
.
Hello, c’est moi! I guess it’s more credible if I write about myself here, than to have a copywriter do it instead… better. Yeah, you can also call me cheap! Now back to my favorite topic – me! I’m somewhat a proud owner of a long-lasting and eventually cured professional identity crisis. In my five plus decades of life, I was a guy who was an air force cadet, a journalist, a radio host, a humanitarian and a public officer, an activist, an interpreter, a manager and more… and it all led to the final outcome of becoming a producer and a stand-up comedian. It has lasted since 2005, still rolling and since 2009 full-time professionally.
Therefore, I am one of the founders of the Croatian and Bosnian
stand-up comedy scenes and a strong participant in the development of the circuits all around of the region of former Yugoslavia (incl. Serbia
, Montenegro
, Slovenia
and North Macedonia
). Our nations around here either speak or at least understand the same spoken language, formerly known as Serbo-Croatian, even though it now has four different names.



In the meantime, I’ve had my performances in 50+ different countries, both in the Balkans and overseas. My goal s to perform in every European country (currently only two shy from total) and every continent (still to do South America… and OK – Antarctica, I guess). I’m the first stand-up comedian from this part of the world to participate at an international competition: the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition (2012) and later on at the equally sexy Funniest Person in the World (2016). Did I make it far? Are you kidding?! You must be a comedian yourself! No? Then do not joke about it as I’m a bit touchy on that subject… Most recently, in 2’24 I had a 8-days un at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, whilst in 2022 I got invited to the inaugural World Comedy Expo in Chicago. Eventually I became the first stand-up comedian from this part of the world to produce their own comedy special in English, titled
Yeah, it’s better to be right than first, but let me tell you – this guy was first! Another example is the first ever professional comedy special video production, not of one but three of those: taping in Sarajevo – three days in a row, three different shows in three different venues! (2019-2020)
