In The Meaning Of Life, Maybe, George Zacharopoulos does something different. Instead of his usual back-to-back jokes, this year his set intermixes comedy with vulnerability. 

In a welcome change of pace, George discusses the highs of his 2025 alongside the lows. It is refreshing to see someone on stage be so frank about their mental health. Yet even while discussing difficult experiences, George skilfully times his jokes to bring levity and create a show that remains ultimately comedic.

Throughout his set, George’s passion for comedy shines through. There is something heartwarming about watching someone do the thing they love. Even in the face of personal and financial struggles, George returns to comedy as a source of joy in his life. He encourages the audience to reflect on how they find joy and to prioritise that for themselves. 

It is not often that you leave a comedy show considering the meaning of life, but that is what George is able to achieve. He gently pushes the bounds of comedy to create a set that is heartwarming yet absolutely hilarious. Despite some heavy topics, its lasting impact is uplifting. For those wanting to see a comedy show that does something different, The Meaning Of Life, Maybe is powerful and unique.
