Romanian stand-up comedian Victor Patrascan raised over 11,000 euros for the Christmas campaign of the “Voices of Children” Charitable Foundation through performances in Kyiv and Lviv.
Funds were collected through ticket sales, auctions, and donations made during the shows and on the comedian’s website.
In total, five concerts were held in Kyiv and Lviv, raising 23,255.75 euros for the benefit of charitable organisations. The funds were split equally between the “Voices of Children” Foundation, which supports children affected by the war in Ukraine, and the “Sirius” animal shelter, which currently cares for around 3,000 animals.

“I am forever grateful for all the 2,044 people who came to the 5 sold out shows in Lviv and Kyiv. The war in Ukraine is still going on, so please keep supporting the innocent civilians going through this,” the comedian wrote on his Instagram page.
Joining Victor were other popular comedians: Vasyl Baidak, Anton Tymoshenko, Iaroslav Pirog, Oleksandr Kachura, Anastasiya Sil’, Fedor Ikelaar (comedian from the Netherlands), Georges Degoumois (comedian from Switzerland).
Victor expressed his special thanks to everyone who helped organise the shows and collect donations: Anastasiya Sil’ for the show in Lviv; Amina @aminorfus and “Underground Stand-Up” — for the Kyiv show. The photos from the performances were taken by Olha Zakrevska.

Since early 2021, he has been touring with his new programme Dirty Immigrant.

Victor Patrascan stands in solidarity with Ukraine, often making jokes about Russia and Belarus, and these sharp videos gained widespread popularity online.
As a reminder, in early December, the “Voices of Children” Foundation launched its Christmas campaign, collecting donations throughout the month to provide psychological support for children affected by the Russian war against Ukraine.
