Upcoming shows: IL DAGO II

George Kapiniaris | IL DAGO II
 
 

Following the sell-out smash hit comedy event IL DAGO, the boys are back, 'now with noodles', to present the next installment of IL DAGO, what was one of the most talked about comedy events of 2007 and 2008. IL DAGO II: Now with Noodles, starring George Kapiniaris, Joe Avati, and Simon Palomares, is preparing to add some spice in 2010 with comedian Jason Chong.

Australia's brightest stars of the ethnic comedy scene became overnight sensations after they were one of the most talked about acts at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.  Hundreds of thousands of people all around Australia, from the public to media, politicians to celebrities, caught the IL DAGO bug for two years with the boy's hilarious stories about living in multi-cultural Australia.

Now, in 2010, new to the IL DAGO man-cave is award-winning comedian Jason Chong who is guaranteed to have audiences laughing hysterically with his string of stories about living in an Asian/Australian world.

Add to that Joe Avati's Italian antipasto of pickled grandmothers and roasted uncles; Simon's tapas selection of emo children and all things Espanol; and George's always energetic display of what it's like to grow up having to eat everything, as long as there's lemon juice and oregano on it and other colourful tales from the Greek columns of Australian society, and you're sure to experience what will be the comedy smash-hit of 2010!

This year, celebrating 25-years of showbiz together, George Kapiniaris and Simon Palomares helped pioneer the always popular ethnic comedy genre in the mid 80's as the Tiboldi brothers through to the early '90s with what is still a cult tv classic today, Acropolis Now. They also starred in the longest running comedy show in Australia's theatre history, Wogs out of Work, which ran for four years. Since then, the genre has grown both in industry and popularity, to become one of the most sought after comedy experiences today.

Both producer and star of IL DAGO I & II, Joe Avati has put his own stamp on the industry, having pioneered ethnic comedy in North America after holding several records there. Joe earned the number one spot for 18 months on the Canadian HMV comedy charts for his CD "Live and Unpluggato", and sold out a 2000-seat Toronto Centre for the Arts show in just nine minutes. Since then, in 2009, Joe has co-hosted his first TV spot on "Food Investigators", produced various comedy shows around the country, and is currently exploring more TV and movie options both at home and internationally.

To complete the IL Divo-esque line-up, like athletes before an energetic sporting event, Jason confesses he eats a bowl of noodles before every performance. This ritual has seen Jason rise to the top of the comedy ladder since 2001. Recently named "2009 Adelaide Comedian of the Year" Jason Chong is sought-after on TV and radio all over the country and has been tagged as 'brilliant' and 'one of the country's top comedians' by the Australian press. He was also given four stars by one of the country's top newspapers.
