After sell-out performances in Melbourne and Adelaide, Comicus Erectus – The Ethnic Comedy Revolution is on its way to Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and – back by popular demand – to Melbourne. A talented line-up of local and international ethnic comedy stars, the show is jammed packed with laughs and well-honed performances.
The cast features Greek Australian comedian and actor George Kapiniaris, better known as ‘Memo’ from Acropolis Now; international comedian Joe Avati (whose massive cult following sees him holding the record for the fastest selling stand-up comedian ever in Canada); Emmy Award Nominee and Greek comedy sensation, all the way from New York Basile; and Turkish Australian comedian Tahir as MC for the night, better known to most as Habib of Fat Pizza fame, and from his hilarious work on Housos.
Comicus Erectus offers a fresh new take on wog humour, proving it has moved on from fluffy dice and Monaros. This humour is for the modern generation of ethnics. Expect to hear the comics performing hilarious routines about growing up with an ethnic background and tales of family, school and their respective neighbourhoods.
The Comicus Erectus tour kicks off in Victoria on Thursday 28 June at the Furlan Club in Thornbury, and ends Sunday 26 August at the St George Sailing Club, Sans Souci in NSW. For tickets and to book visit www.comicuserectus.com
