The IL DAGO Official History Clip, TodayTonight, July 20, 2007

WATCH out, Il Divo !!
This NEW SUPERGROUP is ready to take over the world, one souvlaki-loving comedy fan at a time. The four boys have the suits, the look, the ethnicity to deliver their own style and operatic solos.

The stars of The IL Dago Comedy Stage Show currently touring Australia, are, Joe Avati, George Kapiniaris, Simon Palomares and Nish Selvadurai. The IL Dago show is presented in English and all the performers do their best to make sure that all audiences are offended. They parody as many boy groups as they can... especially IL Divo!


History:

Simon Palomares was one of the creators and stars, along with George Kapiniaris, of the Wogs Out of Work comedy stage show, which later evolved into the Acropolis Now TV series (5 Seasons!).

The original Wogs Out of Work comedy stage show in the 1980's - is now widely regarded as the start of ethnic stage comedy - that included several jokes/routines with a bilingual delivery.

Probably the worlds most famous Italian Bilingual Comedian is Joe Avati. Joe has presented his Bi-Lingual Comedy Show in Canada, USA, England and his home country of Australia. Joe's bilingual show consisted of stories told in English with an Italian (Spoken) punchline.

Joe took several months off the road to re-write many of his stories in English for the IL Dago Comedy Stage Show.

New to Ethnic Comedy is Sri Lankan Australian comic Nish Selvadurai who recounts his experiences growing up in Australia with an ethnic background.
