Joe Avati brings his hilarious trip down memory lane comedy show to Komedia, presented as the grand finale of the Brighton Italian Festival Fringe 2027.
Joe Avati brings his comedy show Good Old Days! to Komedia on Sunday 30 May 2027. It's the grand finale of the Brighton Italian Festival Fringe 2027, so it's the one that closes out the whole run.
Avati is billed as one of Australia's biggest comedy exports and one of the world's most loved comedians, a reputation he's built over more than three decades on the back of razor-sharp observations about growing up Italian in Australia. The show is a trip down memory lane, and he describes his approach as clean and family-friendly — a masterclass in nostalgia that leans on cultural differences and generational quirks. It's the kind of set that works as much for the people who recognise the stories as it does for those who've never stepped foot in an Italian-Australian household.
He's the only name on the bill for the night, so it's just him and the room. The show is held in the Komedia Basement, and the seating is unreserved cabaret, which means you'll be at tables rather than in rows. The room is 16+, so it's not one for the very young, but it's a family-friendly show in every other sense.
