You know, every story is almost the same, our parents, grandparents came to canada, usa with 12$ in their pocket, and were having crappy jobs... but they worked to be better peoplpe and making their kids have a better futur...and they always do have amasing humor!

Yasou!

Awesome, I'm Italian but I can't wait to see you in Adelaide at Comicus Erectus in February with three other kings of ethnic comedy, Joe Avati, George Kapiniaris and Tahir Bilgic.

Ci vediamo Basil.

For all you people who think he can speak Greek, he CAN!! I saw him live, and AT LEAST every second word or scentence was fluent Greek, the reason he is speaking English in this video is because people who buy tickets for that comedy club don't buy tickets for just one guy, two or three guy go on each show, so most of those people were not Greek, at his shows where he's the only comedian the whole show, most of the audience Is greek, so at those he speeks almost all Greek, on his DVDs and CDs h

@MikaLefebvre It's good he's kept his family like that. It's important to preserve culture

[MikaLefebvre]

@EffLabels I totally agree. I happen to know this guy and let me tell you, he has raised his family more greek than the greeks in greece. His children speak fluent Greek, and immerse themselves into the orthodox faith more than any other kids i know and his oldest daughter is a professional greek dancer.

[AnastasisKos]

I'm greek and I can't tell you this guy is really greek..you know how you can tell??

HE IS SHOUTING ALL THE FREAKING TIME!!!HE CAN'T SPEAK NORMALLY HE CAN ONLY YELL!!NO GREEK HAS EVER MANAGED TO SPEAK QUIETLY!!!

But anyway he is reaaaaaaally good!!

[ElizaMogha]

@EffLabels I can totally understand your input here. Have seen it myself. After having lived both in Greece and abroad, I have come to think that people perceive differently what it means to be Greek (or any other nationality). When you remain in your home country, usually you belong to the majority, while when abroad, part of a diaspora, you're most likely to be a minority. I think this element makes diaspora people (like myself at the moment) hold on their traditions tight.

@ElizaMogha You have a very good point. It's almost like reverse psychology. For example, my cousins in Greece are very influenced by American pop culture and music, where as MY family in diaspora only listen to Greek music and keep up with the 'old ' Greek tradions. In some ways, Greeks in diaspora are more Greek than the ones who stayed. It's quite funny actually
