Anthony Locascio

Anthony Locascio is one of Australia’s most compelling rising stars, widely recognized as the "king of post-racial comedy." Since his 2017 debut, the Greek-Italian comedian has redefined ethnic humor by blending sharp observational wit with deeply personal, nuanced storytelling. He first gained international attention with his 2020 special, Confirmation, distributed globally on Amazon Prime and Apple TV, and has since become a fixture at major festivals including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala. Locascio is celebrated for his ability to transcend cultural clichés, a talent showcased in his critically acclaimed, sold-out tours like Don’t Call Me A Wog! and the heart-wrenching yet hilarious Pappou. His performances at the iconic Enmore Theatre and international stages in London and New York have cemented his reputation as a master storyteller who navigates the complexities of heritage and modern identity with fearless vulnerability.
