A few words about the headliner, Joel Bryant:

Joel Bryant is a Los Angeles-based comedian who first stepped onstage at 17 years old in his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico and has been a comedy vagabond ever since, touring around the country and throughout Europe (headlining such places as Paris, Barcelona, Vienna, Lisbon, Budapest and Berlin).

He’s shared the stage with such names as Bill Burr, Jim Jeffries, Leslie Jones, Anthony Jeselnik, Iliza Schlesinger and many more. He's also a recognizable actor from many TV, film and commercial spots ("Monk", "The Heartbreak Kid", “LA Macabre", “Criminal Minds” among others).

He’s emceed for the NFL for the last 7 Super Bowls, hosts a huge variety of charity and corporate events, while you will always find him, luggage nearby, making people laugh from the darkest wine cellars of Paris to the swankiest corporate events in Singapore to the diviest bars in Berlin to the classic clubs like The Comedy Store, The Improv, The Laugh Factory, The StandNY and New York's Gotham.

Joel's translatable style, audience interaction and off-the-cuff energy make him a go-to on stages from big theaters to churches and backyards. You never know where he’s going next…and he rarely does either!

MC: Odysseas Deniz Ürem, Headliner: Mihalis Sevasteris

And: Christian Siapantas, Dominik Sits, Giorgos Christofides, Jim Botsas, Kinthia, Mikey Mileos, Stavroula Pabst, Theodora Kanellopoulou

Founded in 2019, the Athens English Comedy Club is the first, and only, purely English comedy club in Greece - bringing you local and international comedians, right in the heart of Athens - and it just turned FOUR!

In the last 4 years, the Athens English Comedy Club has hosted lineup shows, open mic shows, online competitions, and comedy workshops, with *109* local and international comedians from *24 countries*

UPCOMING SHOW: Sunday October 8th

It'll be a mix of everything. A potluck of comedy. Colourful, comedic, chaos! Experienced and new comedians trying out their best new jokes. Some of them will be good, some of them will be great, and some will never see the light of day again. It's up to you!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

About the MC:

Odysseas Deniz Ürem is a stand-up comedian based in Athens. He performs regularly in both English and Greek, and has gigged at Losantzele and Mic Drop comedy clubs in Athens, as well as theater venues all around Greece. Odysseas’ comedy revolves around subjects such as family, racism, death, sex, religion and among others it also consists of many surrealistic takes on everyday life.

Currently, Odysseas is one half of the (Greek) double-bill show “Two people telling jokes” (“Δύο που λένε αστεία”) with comedian Alexandros Paspardanis at Calderone bar, which has been consistently sold out since November 2022. Aside from being an absolute comedic treasure chest, Odysseas was also one of the very first comedians to perform with us back in 2019 (literally, in our first ever show), and he’s been killing it ever since.

About the headliner:

Mihalis Sevasteris is a comedian based in Athens and it is crucial that you know he is vegan. Some people describe him as a gambling robot with the sole purpose in life to get everyone to eat collard greens. 

Mihalis’ comedy covers anything from adventures of survival on public transport, to being constantly worried he’ll get his bag stolen at coffee shops, to trying to confirm whether Jason Statham is in fact his uncle.

He presented his first solo show “I’m vegan (“Είμαι vegan”), in Greek, at Losantzele comedy club during the 2022-2023 season, before touring in multiple cities around Greece including Patra, Heraklion, Larissa, Thessaloniki, and more. This season he’ll be presenting a “Best Of” selection of his work, at Losantzele again. 

His restless demeanor (#NOT) and his immovable poker face will win you over no matter how difficult your week has been. Maybe enough to make you consider being vegan, who knows! 

Date: Sunday, October 8th

€14 general admission
