Welcome

"He is very good. His humour extends to economics, etymology and cous-cous. And he has the only truly funny Susan Boyle joke I have heard"
Kate Copstick –THE SCOTSMAN, 2010

"See Manos, laugh and learn something along the way"

"Manos is the funniest Greek waiter in the world, and that is a proper accolade" Arthur Smith, 2008

Welcome to my website. Here you can find more information about my story (Greek word) so far, and my upcoming gigs.  

I would like to clarify that I am not a character (Greek word) act. I am 100% Greek, the genuine article (Greek word). I say this, because I often I have my Greek-ness questioned. To some people apparently, I don’t look very Greek: I don’t smoke, I have slitty eyes and I am not hairy enough. I am Greek, not a monkey!

I was born and bred in a small island called Samos but I have been living in London for over a decade now. I started doing stand-up comedy in 2006 and since then I have performed at over 700 gigs in the UK and abroad.

My first show titled ‘Manos the Greek: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Greece (But Were Afraid To Ask)’ received good feedback (see video for a short extract) and contributed to easing the financial pain back in my home country (click here for more details). Having educated audiences on my homeland, I am currently writing my second show with the working title ‘Manos: The Tale of An Immigrant’. I aim to preview it at Brighton Comedy Festival in May prior to its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.

Hope to see you at one of my gigs.

GEIA SOU (Wishing you good health)
