Comedian Christian Giacobbe grimaces as a giant fork twirls spaghetti around his head, set against illustrated Italian landmarks (the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa), and an Italian flag waving in the sky, with a red Vespa scooter nearby. The show title "I’m Italian But It’s Not My Fault!" and his name appear in bold text.

A stand-up comedian performs on a dimly lit stage in front of a packed audience. The performer stands beside a stool and a microphone stand, holding a microphone and gesturing mid-joke while the crowd watches attentively. A spotlight highlights the comedian against a dark background, creating an intimate club atmosphere.

A stand-up comedy show in a grand, modern theatre with red curtains and industrial balconies. The stage screen reads “UNC*NSORED” with the tagline “Raw, Real, Ridiculously Funny,” as the comedian performs to a lively audience seated throughout the venue.

I'm Italian but that's not my fault

I’m Italian but That’s Not My Fault

Being Italian abroad isn’t all pasta, passion, and hand gestures - it’s confusion, clichés, and the occasional existential crisis. In this hilarious one-man show, Chris Giacobbe takes you through the struggles of being an Italian living in foreign lands, from the stereotypes people can’t let go of, to the culture shocks of marrying an African wife, to raising a child in the chaos and charm of Indonesia.

Equal parts storytelling and sharp punchlines, Chris proves that when you mix three continents, too much espresso, and one big Italian mouth, the result is comedy gold!
