More About Anthony Locascio
Since starting stand-up in 2017, he has produced and toured a new full-length show every year, with standout works including Don’t Call Me a Wog! (2022), Heart of Darkness (2023), and the critically acclaimed Pappou (2024–25). Pappou toured nationally across Australia and internationally to London, New Zealand, Canada, and New York, before being recorded at a sold-out Enmore Theatre and released on YouTube in 2025. His debut special Confirmation (2020) was distributed globally by Comedy Dynamics on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
He has sold out seasons at the Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Perth Comedy Festival, and Brisbane Comedy Festival, and was selected for the Sydney and Perth Comedy Festival Gala showcases in 2021 and 2022.
Beyond the stage, he has appeared on Triple J’s Hack, SBS Sport, beIN Sports, Today EXTRA on Channel 9, and Sunrise on Channel 7, and has performed at or hosted major events including the Greek Festival of Sydney and the Italian National Ball. In 2025, he curated and hosted the inaugural Greek Australian Comedy Gala and Italian Australian Comedy Gala.
Self-managed throughout his career, he has built a dedicated audience both online and in live venues, working across comedy clubs, community festivals, corporate events, and screen projects for brands such as Nando’s, NexGard, and Pedestrian TV. His work aims to challenge clichés around “wog comedy,” presenting his Greek and Italian heritage through a contemporary, nuanced lens that resonates well beyond those communities.
