BIO
What does a Speedo wearing Nutella freak who once did too much meth do when he turns 36?
He gets over his shit, writes a book about it and after a few years, calls his therapist.
Costa: Can I stand up on a stage and laugh at my life?
Therapist: Well, we got the meds right, didn’t we?
Costa defines late blooming with his very first time on stage was at the age of 44 at the New York Gotham Comedy Club where he trained under Stephen Rosenfeld of the American Comedy Institute. Since then he has performed all over South Africa including the Hilton and Redhill Arts Festival in 2022 /23, Dubai and Kulala Lumpur
Desperate for attention he wrote his own one man show “Desperately Seeking Souvlaki” that has played in South Africa, Greece and Cyprus with two shows in the USA
A Johannesburg man at heart he has perfected the art of missing potholes and is the go-to guy for ALL Eskom updates. He loves his two goldfish and appreciates a good pedicure now and then.
SHOW
A South African Greek stand-up comedy feast. A 70 min show that takes the audience on a journey on what it’s like to be Costa in this world. From hilarious gags about his upbringing to his dating escapades, Costa gets vulnerable showing not only the flaws in himself but in his community and South Africa. Such honesty, sharp wit and cheekiness mean no one is safe and many parallels can be drawn between all communities in SA and this Greek condition that Costa highlights.

My Book
“I’m at the start of an Olympic Distance Triathlon! A Greek, about to get all Olympic, following in the footsteps of my ancestors who created the games to celebrate human endeavour its ability to be pushed to the limits. Who would have thought that six years earlier I was in a deserted house in rural Mexico with a junkie smoking crack cocaine for the first time? The start of a downward spiral that would bring me to my knees and close to death. Although, maybe the seeds of my descent had been planted long before that…”
