Admin

In the summer of '99, six-year-old Vlad played a game of chess that changed his life forever. In Vladislav, Baby Don't Hurt Me, the multi award-winning stand-up explores his obsession with the game and how it lead him to leave North Macedonia for the bright lights of the UK comedy scene, via Maltese celebrities, performing for the prince of Oman and a desire to rebuild the Ottoman empire.
