Our guest this week is Sonia Di Iorio, a Melbourne based comedian. Sonia is doing something with her comedy which we think is pretty cool, in addition to her usual stand up comedy shows, she has created a stand up comedy show which is spoken entirely in Italian!! We were very interested to chat with Sonia and hear more about this. You can see the show at Adelaide fringe festival 15th March and at the Melbourne international comedy festival 11th and 12th of April.

We had a great chat with our guest Tony Roda in this episode. Tony is a proud Italian Australian who is deeply connected to his Calabrese heritage. He created the facebook page ‘Calabrese of Australia’ which is a massive online community of almost 35K followers where all things Calabrese are celebrated. The page is popular with Italians from all regions and even some people who are not of Italian heritage.

We were truly delighted to chat with Frank Lotito in this episode. Frank has had a long and successful journey in the entertainment industry, he has pretty much done it all from theatre, film and television. He is multi talented as an actor, comedian, writer, producer and director. He is well known for the films ‘Big Mamma’s Boy’ and ‘Wog Boys Forever’

It was fascinating to hear Frank’s story and to hear about one of his current projects- ‘The Italian Divorce’ - a comedy stage show which captures the love, chaos and guilt driven drama of Italian family life. The show has been a huge success and sold out multiple times in Melbourne and Sydney. Great news for our Perth based listeners- The Italian Divorce is coming to Perth for 3 shows- 27th February, 28th February and 1st March.
