About this show
G rated - suitable for children 10 and over In Joe Avati's new show he asks you to leave your political correctness at the door as he delivers his hilarious insights on how times have changed, for better or worse, since he grew up as a teenager in the 80?s. Internationally renowned for his inimitable style Avati, who is Australian born with an Italian heritage, is a master of treading the very fine line saying what everyone seems to think but no one dares to say whilst not resorting to the use of profanities or vulgar shock tactic routines in doing so. In his latest offering WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE? he tackles the 'then versus now' generational differences of today's kids, the complexities of modern day parenting compared to the strict upbringing of yesteryear and threaded throughout all of this he tackles the minefield of cancel culture, the woke brigade and why people are over political correctness. His observations are not only deadly accurate but extremely relatable to all ages.

Joe Avati Biography
Joe Avati (born 1974) is an Italian-Australian comedian who is popular amongst Italians living in Australia (and also Canada, where he has performed his routine on several occasions).
Comedic style
His parents are from Calabria in Southern Italy and the majority of his dialogue is spoken in the southern dialect. The minority is spoken in English, and Avati combines the two languages to create a unique style.
Avati's observational brand of comedy have earned him comparisons to Jerry Seinfeld, and in promotions he is referred to as "the Italian Seinfeld". His observations are drawn from the life around his Italian family, particularly his experiences growing up. The characters that Avati mentions are almost universal in Italian families, which is why audiences are able to identify with him.
Career
He kicked off his career by releasing a tape entitled "Live and Unpluggato" in 1999 which was placed on the internet as a downloadable piece for anyone worldwide. He also released Livin' la Dole-Cheque Vita in 2000.
There is some material available on CD and DVD featuring Avati including a double CD entitled "The Best of Joe Avati Live" while a popular DVD called "Joe Avati Live in Canada".
Avati is now in the middle of shooting a feature film about the Italian life in Australia.
