Award-winning comedian and medic Stefania Licari presents a comedy show teaching the audience how to walk, talk, and love like an Italian.
Stefania Licari is bringing her show, I Can Make You Italian In 55 Minutes, to the Komedia Studio in Brighton on Tuesday, 26 May 2026. As a medic turned comedian, Licari uses her personal experience as an expat to frame this 60-minute performance. The show is designed to guide the audience through the nuances of Italian life, covering everything from how to walk and talk to the complexities of love, all while touching on cultural staples like superstitions, the importance of 'bella figura', and the influence of Italian mothers. Her approach relies on physical comedy, using her body and facial expressions to convey the humour rather than just relying on traditional stand-up delivery.

The performance is scheduled for 19:30, with doors opening at 19:00 at the Komedia venue on 44-47 Gardner Street. Because the show includes audience interaction, strong language, and themes related to illness, it is restricted to attendees aged 16 and over. There is a strict 'Babes in Arms' policy in place, meaning children under two are not permitted. For those planning to attend, the Komedia Studio is fully accessible, featuring step-free access, facilities for wheelchair users, and provisions for assistance dogs.
Tickets for the event are priced at £8.00 for standard entry, with a concession rate of £6.00 available. While some listings have shown slight variations in pricing, these figures represent the current standard for the show. The production has a history of performances, including a sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and has received coverage from various outlets, including The Scotsman and London Theatre1. It is a show that blends drama with comedy, aiming to provide a specific perspective on Italian culture through Licari’s background as both a doctor and a performer. Whether you are interested in the cultural commentary or the physical comedy style, the show offers a structured hour of performance that reflects her experiences as an expat living and working in the UK.
