Comedy Underground | Anthony Locascio - PAPPOU

Anthony Locascio's Pappou (grandfather) immigrated to Australia from Greece in the 1950s, ferried over to become the top goalkeeper in Australian soccer. This dream came to an abrupt end when Pappou's fist had a chance encounter with a referree's head. 'Being a man' was different back then. In 2024, his grandson's dream of being a stand-up comedian hangs in the balance, as he contends with the challenges of a modern man – staying off the vapes, raising kittens and defeating all forms of prejudice from the safety of a podcast microphone. Join Australia's foremost post-racial comedian for a show which is a love letter to his grandfather, the immigrant experience, and chasing dreams in 'PAPPOU'.
