Levy Lupu & Vlad Ilich

Levy Lupu and Vlad Ilich: Chess & Backgammon: Balkan Strategy Hour
Levy Lupu & Vlad Ilich bring you an hour of razor-sharp stand-up from two comedians raised in very different corners of Eastern Europe-but united by immigrant grit, strategic thinking, and emotional damage disguised as charm.
Levy Lupu
Award-winning comedian, podcast host, and one of the UK Jewish comedy scene’s most original voices. Born in northern Romania and raised by trauma (and briefly, wolves), Levy brings low-energy, darkly funny stories about migration, antisemitism, backgammon, and surviving British culture on £3 a day.

Vlad Ilich
