SHOWBIZ Joe Avati


Italian-Australian comedian Joe Avati presents his new comedy show 25 Live Have Some Respect at the Palais Theatre, St Kilda on May 14 for two shows at 4.30pm and 8pm.
Featuring his unique brand of humour and sharp observations, and over the course of almost 90 minutes, Joe will recount life as an ethnic Australian (or a wog kid as he prefers to call it), and now life as a husband and father to a newborn.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, Joe will share his view on how today’s generation of kids compares to his own experiences.
Joe Avati has achieved a lot in his 25 years of work. He is the only Australian artist to have two comedy albums charting simultaneously in the top five anywhere in the world as well as a number one comedy album.
He boasts record breaking, sell-out shows around the globe, has produced several successful live theatre shows, plus hosts the popular podcast A Serious Chat with A Comedian. He is also about to release a children’s book titled When I Was Your Age – a subject also touched on (in a very different way) in his new comedy.
Joe relies on wit, human insight, and genuine comedic talent rather than risqué subjects or profanity and it is this characteristic that has drawn comparisons to the great Jerry Seinfeld.
Performance Date: Saturday, May 14
Times: 4.30pm and 8.00pm,
Tickets start at $69,
