Katerina Vrana “Staying Alive” comes to the Onassis Stegi on November 4

What: Katerina Vrana, one of Greece‘s top stand-up comedians, is recording her smash-hit show “Staying Alive (I nearly died, you know)” in English.
The most entertaining and uplifting story of nearly dying you’ve ever heard!

The show has been selling out in Greece consistently since 2019, when it opened, and in English it sold out all 14 cities of its 2023 European tour.

Before 2017, Katerina had been performing stand-up in both Greek and English all over the world, her shows selling out in Athens and London and at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals. CNN included her in its list of “Female Comedians To Watch“ and in 2016 she came third in the Laugh Factory’s international competition “Funniest Person in the World“.

In April 2017, while on tour in Malaysia, Katerina fell seriously ill and nearly died. Her survival came at the cost of multiple physical impairments that affected her movement, eyesight and speech and she now moves around mainly in a wheelchair. (Thankfully, her hair has remained unaffected.)
She was able to get back on stage full-time in 2019 with the very show she is about to record.
“Staying Alive (I nearly died, you know)” was an unprecedented success as it sold out its entire run in Athens before it even opened.

It’s now been seven years since Katerina nearly died, so, as the seven year itch sets in, we’re recording the show that describes it all. For posterity. For the ages. But mainly for Katerina‘s peace of mind so she can move on.
Join Katerina on this very special night as she celebrates her life’s greatest achievement (thus far): Staying Alive!
