Sam Zito
Italian Greyhound
Being Italian and not being able to speak the language means you’re still Italian, right? Sí.
Come spend 10 minutes under an hour with Sam as he tries to connect with his culture – even though he doesn’t feel like he’s a part of it. If you’ve never felt fully connected to your heritage or grandparents because you were born in Australia, you’ll relate very well to this stand-up show. If you’re European and do speak your language perfectly, then come laugh at me (hopefully with me).
The show consists of storytelling, jokes and observations about the world, and what it’s like growing up half-Italian.
By the end of the show, Sam will prove he is Italian, and you can decide whether he is accepted into Italian culture.
Sam has opened for many big acts around Australia, including Luke Kidgell and Blake Pavey. He has also performed stand-up in England and was a Raw Comedy State Finalist early in his comedy career. Sam has now fully pursued stand-up after moving away from pioneering the sketch group Swag on the Beat and has amassed his own following online.
After successfully touring his debut show around the country last year, he is back with a brand-new show!
See ya there.
