The Greek Centre

DESPERATELY SEEKING FOR SOUVLAKI

A Greek Man Walks Into The Greek Centre... and Leaves Melbourne in Stitches! Melbourne, meet Costa Carastavrakis: part philosopher, part comedian, and 100% ready to unpack his big fat Greek journey of identity (and questionable life choices). This man’s CV reads like your cousin’s travel plans: South Africa, Greece, Cyprus, Dubai, USA—and now, AUSTRALIA. But don’t let the geography fool you—he’s got more tales of Greek drama than your last family dinner! Is he funny? The kind of funny that makes your abs hurt but also makes you question everything you’ve ever known about being Greek. 📅 When?15 Feb 📍 Where? The Greek Centre—because where else would we put a Greek man having an identity crisis? Tickets https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1326049 Costa Carastavrakis
