Sooshi Mango just played Thessaloniki for the very first time. The Italian-Australian comedy trio of Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri and Andrew Manfre brought their Home Made World Tour to the Vellidio Convention Centre on Leoforos Stratou on Friday, October 23, at 8pm.

Quick note for anyone who was wondering: the show was performed entirely in English. It ran about 90 minutes and was presented by The HUB Events.

If you haven't caught them yet, Sooshi Mango started out filming sketches in their cars about their parents and grandparents, and their characters drawn from migrant family life now have fans all over the world. Home Made is their biggest live show to date, packed with fan favorite characters, musical comedy, new sketches and plenty of the immigrant family humor they are loved for.

One sketch leaned into Greek culture, set at a fictional restaurant called Kalamata Fish & Chips. That's all we'll say, because nobody here wants to spoil it.

The night also finished with a pleasant surprise. What it was stays under wraps, so no spoilers on that one either.

GetGreece founder Tony Kariotis was invited to the show and got to meet the trio afterward, and for him it was a long time coming. About a year ago, Sooshi Mango came to his home city of Boston, and he missed them by a day because of work travel. This time he was close enough to make the trip to see Home Made in Thessaloniki.

Tony said, "I'm so happy I got to bring my wife to watch this show."

The first thing he told them after the show was, "It's about time I finally get to meet you guys."

They performed all of their well-known characters. In Tony's words, "They were so awesome, amazing energy, they gave off positive energy 100% of the evening, and the crowd was 100% into it."

As for what he loved most, Tony said, "There were parts where Joe broke character because he was laughing so hard at their own jokes, I think that right there shows they are not just some routine script, they love it."

Posting after the show, he wrote, "I finally got a chance to meet and experience this incredible group perform in person tonight in Greece!"

Home Made is no small show, either. According to their promoter, it played more than 30 arena shows across Australia, and the 2025 encore run added more than 15 more.

In 2026 the tour is taking that energy to North America and Europe. On the trio's website, the Brussels date and the first Amsterdam night are already listed as sold out.

Tony's message to the trio says it all: "This lived up to the hype and we can't wait to see you in Greece again or Boston!"

For Thessaloniki, Friday was a first. Here's hoping it isn't the last.
