The Uncle Louie Variety Show at the Newtown Theatre

About this show

The Uncle Louie Variety Show has been making audiences laugh for years with its hilarious and unique take on growing up as an Italian-American. The show is composed of two dynamic comedians, Lou Greco and Carlo Russo, who have gained international popularity with the comedic celebration of their Italian heritage. The comedic duo grew up together in Syracuse, New York, and began writing comedy together during their high school Italian class. Over time, Greco and Russo began putting their ideas on tape and then video. Many viewers were introduced to The Uncle Louie Variety Show on YouTube via the ornery, yet loveable, character “Uncle Louie” and the “Broken English Italian Word of the Day”. Today, “Uncle Louie” is joined by the beloved characters “Pasqualino”, “Zia Maria”, and “Zia Rosa” who are always getting themselves into trouble with their hilarious antics. Greco and Russo have gained almost a half a million followers on YouTube and Facebook, along with hundreds of millions of views of their weekly videos. Once The Uncle Louie Variety Show begins, audience members are taken on a trip down memory lane with live original music, sketch comedy, stand-up and improv. Their videos are nothing compared to seeing a live performance. Greco and Russo take their hilarious vignettes and bring an energy to them that’s palpable when they’re on stage together. In 2018, Greco and Russo had the opportunity to bring their characters to life live, on stage, to sold-out venues with their first-ever comedy tour in Australia. Today, The Uncle Louie Variety Show is still performing to sold-out crowds up and down the eastern coast of the United States, the mid-west, and eastern Canada. Even though the pair draw inspiration from their Italian heritage, Greco and Russo say there is something to be found in The Uncle Louie Variety Show for people of all cultural backgrounds.
