Italian Stand Up (2019 - 2019)

Stand up comedian from Rome but originally from L'Aquila, he ironically talks about his life after catastrophic events, Africa and malaria, Political Science.

Luca Cupani arrived in London in January 2014 following his dream of becoming an actor and comedian: a month later he made his debut as a stand-up comedian by winning the Comedy Store's King Gong Show (a competition for budding comedians). He performs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He tells us about life as an Italian abroad, about the differences between Italy and England in various fields, from songs to politics.

Very young, Davide Calgaro forges ahead. Nebbia Award for cabaret, film actor, stand up comedian at Zelig and Comedy Central, takes us into the world of kids and their problems: their mother, school, the difficulties of being in a large family and its teachings, the differences between the reasoning of the mother and father.

Turin-born, author and stand up comedian, Renato Minutolo tells us about his navigating between atheism and Christianity, the mysteries of life, the meaning of things explained to children; the differences between men and women discovering a new motherhood and the difficult life of a vegan child.

Daniele Fabbri, Roman, satirical comedian, loves to take us into his world without sugarcoating his language. He loves swear words and uses them extensively. Daniele tells us what happened to him in his life, the first school years spent by the nuns, the terror of making a bad impression, sex and his torments.

S. Gorno was born in 1973 in the Milanese hinterland, and it's not a good start. An adolescence in the seminary, divided between studying the classics and obsessive masturbation. The following twenty years are such a list of missed goals that at 40 he finally decides to get his head together: today he is separated, in debt and with his head in order. Vegetarian because of a Jew. Atheist because of a priest.

The life of the dazed and splattered Fabio Di Dario is turned upside down by some news: he will soon become a father! Fabio takes us on a walk through his daily problems, those with his daughter, those with advertising, those with the satellite navigator, those with Switzerland and customs, those of reunions with old school friends.

Like all stand up comedians, if crude language doesn't shock you, Stefano Chiodaroli is the man for you. Actor and cabaret artist, the rude Stefano speaks to us with an unfiltered language about what he thinks. How to protect his family without running into the false goodness of social conventions? How can we stay silent in the face of the injustices of this world we live in?

The young Valerio Airò does nothing in life, he only has the goal of not dying. It's difficult to tolerate all the people who lecture him: he has the recipe for living a peaceful life and he tells us about it in his show. Very young, Valerio can already boast collaborations with the Milanese Imbruttito and with the Terzo segrete di Satira, as well as numerous appearances on Zelig Time.

Fairy tales have ruined women. Their existence is a horror, not a fairy tale! Alessandra Faiella, Milanese writer and cabaret artist, tells us about her life in a comical way: from her childhood with Barbie, the prototype of the ideal woman, to her adolescence with the taboos linked to sexuality, passing through advertising stereotypes and her relationship with the universe male.

Giorgio Melazzi is one of the "cult" characters of Milanese comedy: dreams and punches of life, politics and broken hearts, defeats and escapes, boredom and rebellions, and the thousand topics of daily "quiet living", find in his shows the ideal place to turn into comic material. A pessimistic realism that always leaves a glimmer of optimism.

David Shushan, an Israeli immigrant in Brescia, with Middle Eastern fury and microphone in hand, tells from the Po Valley mists his point of view on Italy, Italians, immigrants... and the Mossad. Ettore Potente: at the beginning of 2017 he joined BeComedy and brings his monologues abroad. In 2019 he arrives at Zelig. As a geologist he is good, but as a comedian he makes you laugh."

Vincenzo Comunale, one of the youngest and most talented comedians in Italy, offers jokes and comic observations from the point of view that is most congenial to him: the world of young people. Davide Spadolà talks to us about the hard life of tall ones.

Martina Catuzzi: ironic and self-deprecating, irreverent, bubbly: she is one of the most interesting faces in comedy today. Alessandro Ciacci: inside him there are Monty Python, there is Woody Allen, there is Noel Coward.

Antonio Ricatti from Barletta, Puglia, talks to us in an ironic and crude way about anti-racist films and new advertising languages. Paul D. Genovese: dark humor and blue humor together with a bad use of the subjunctive are his distinctive traits, and he brings to the stage his life, his past and the embarrassment of being a man halfway between childhood and loss of sphincter control.

Tiziano La Bella ranges in arguments: inconsistencies of today's society, interior discomforts, differences between distant cultures, interior discomforts, dreams, fears, desires, but above all interior discomforts. Ivano Bisi: comedian and author, tells us about this world of people who have all become too touchy and without a sense of humor.

Davide Marini is the classic comedian who discovered he knew how to make people laugh during his school years: in fact, since middle school, teachers imitated him. Alessandro Cappai: unlikely trips abroad, misunderstandings at the border and other misadventures that become an excuse to make fun of anything.
