Close to 200 people packed into the Paragon Room to see George Kapiniaris perform in Zorba the Freak – his first of three shows in Sydney, at the Canterbury Leagues club last week.

Using his Greek heritage, his wife and children as inspiration, he performed his Greek Australian bilingual one man show with the support of some surprise special guests. Maria Stavropoulou and Nikita Ellenis’ skit, combined with their musical talents, took a humorous look at life after many years of marriage. The finale, a jam session with bouzouki virtuoso Tommy Tsonis, made for an all-round great show with 90 minutes of non-stop laughter.

Kapiniaris will be performing the show on Friday 14 March at Bankstown Sports Club (to book call (02) 9750 0440). Both shows start at 8.00 pm.
