SUMMARY:Anthony Locascio - The Divine Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Locascio is one of Australia’s most exciting stand-up comedians\nSince beginning stand-up in 2017\, he has written and toured a new full-length show every year\, with highlights including Don’t Call Me a Wog! (2022)\, Heart of Darkness (2023)\, and the critically acclaimed Pappou (2024–25). Pappou toured twice around Australia and internationally to London\, New Zealand\, Canada\, and New York\, before being filmed at a sold-out Enmore Theatre and released on YouTube in 2025. His debut special Confirmation (2020) was distributed worldwide by Comedy Dynamics on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. \nSince leaving corporate insolvency in 2017\, he has written and performed seven different hours of stand-up\, selling out theatres across the country and abroad. His 2025 special Pappou\, filmed at a sold-out Enmore Theatre\, was dedicated to his grandfather and explored the immigrant experience through generations with honesty and heart. Anthony’s comedy balances biting cultural commentary with deeply personal storytelling\, taking audiences from the absurd to the heartfelt in a single beat. Having toured New York\, Canada\, and London\, he continues to push beyond “ethnic comedy” to craft work that resonates universally – funny\, raw\, and unmistakably his own. Anthony has sold out seasons at Sydney Comedy Festival\, Melbourne International Comedy Festival\, Adelaide Fringe\, Perth Comedy Festival\, and Brisbane Comedy Festival\, and was hand-picked for the prestigious Sydney and Perth Comedy Festival Gala showcases in 2021 and 2022. \nAlongside his live work\, he has appeared on Triple J’s Hack\, SBS Sport\, beIN Sports\, Today EXTRA on Channel 9 and Sunrise on Channel 7\, and performed or hosted major events including the Greek Festival of Sydney and the Italian National Ball. In 2025\, he also curated and hosted the inaugural Greek Australian Comedy Gala and the Italian Australian Comedy Gala. \nSelf-managed from the start of his career\, Anthony has built a loyal following online and on stage\, working across comedy clubs\, community festivals\, corporate events\, and screen projects for brands such as Nando’s\, NexGard\, and Pedestrian TV. His mission is to challenge clichés around “wog comedy\,” representing his Greek and Italian heritage with a modern\, nuanced voice that resonates far beyond those communities. \n★★★★★ “Anthony embodies the thinking man’s comedian\, prepared to traverse the publicly taboo and unexplored recesses of the human psyche.” Dark Stories Theatre\n★★★★ “A great storyteller\, who really paints a picture to get the audience enthralled.” Upside Adelaide\n★★★★ “Audience members jolting backwards in fits of laughter.” Weekend Notes Melbourne\n★★★★★ “He is one of Australia’s most talented rising stars.” On The House Perth \n\nPRODUCTION NOTES\nDuration: 1 hour \nContent warnings: occasional course language\, adult content and themes. \nAccess: \n\nLicensed venue\nFood for sale onsite\nVenue is wheelchair accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact are accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAllergy free food/ beverages available upon request\nSeating available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
