Stand-up show by Italian comedian Francesco De Carlo, known for his Netflix special 'Cose Di Questo Mondo'.
Francesco De Carlo is playing Monkey Barrel Comedy on Saturday 24 October, with the show starting at 6:00 PM. He's one of Italy's most established stand-up comedians and the first Italian comic to tour internationally in English, so this is a set performed in English rather than Italian.
His reach goes well beyond the club circuit. His hour-long Netflix special, Cose Di Questo Mondo, streams in 190 countries, and he's hosted shows for Rai, Sky and Comedy Central. 2025 was a big year for him: he starred in the prime-time TV8 series In & Out - Niente di serio, launched his first US tour, Live in America, and voiced Mr Shark in DreamWorks' The Bad Guys films. He also published a book, La mia Brexit, through Bompiani.
He's performed in 17 countries and played festivals in Edinburgh, Johannesburg and Montreal, and he's a regular at New York's Comedy Cellar, where he opened for Matteo Lane at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall. Back home in Italy, his 2025 Mortacci Tour sold out theatres nationwide and drew nearly 40,000 people.
