A few weeks ago we made it to ‘Woglife' Nick Giannopoulos' farewell tour at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco and it was an absolutely amazing performance. We have been fans of Nick and his work since we were children. As a Greek Australian performer, Nick has done so much in the entertainment business with a strong ethnic theme including Wogs out of Work, Acropolis Now and the Wog Boy films, here at the Italian Australian Podcast we consider him to have OG status. In this episode we give tribute to Nick and his hard work and his passion for his culture. We discuss ‘what is a Wog', we have many laughs recounting some of Nick's work and we discuss similarities of the experience of immigration for people coming to Australia.

The Wog Boy himself, Nick Giannopoulos, joins Tom and Nick to help kick off season 3 of Ouzo Talk! From the iconic comedies like Wogs Out of Work and Acropolis Now, to the phenomenon of the Wog Boy films, Nick's work holds an important place in the psyche of the Greek diaspora experience in Australia, but also globally. Nick takes us on a real journey and speaks at length about everything from dealing with racism in his early years, filming in his beloved Mykonos, but also about his new stage show Wog Life, which will by his own admission, be his last ever! Join the boys as they knock back Masticha and talk to the man who came to define a generation of Greeks with his comedy!Find out more about Nick's last stage show Wog Life!  https://woglife.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA75itBhA6EiwAkho9e9WW8Lvzxk1e9UdKheTy2LCQFxYjxXEK6sK1gljPNTwMsqrx043XqhoCaL4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.dsHuge thanks to our amazing sponsors for this episode, MGM Martin.

If you lived in Australia during the late eighties and early nineties, then no doubt you know George Kapiniaris. An actor by training, George, or Kappa or G-Kap, as he is known around the block, first played the serious part of 'DJ' in The Flying Doctors before creating the comically slapstick character Memo in the stage show, 'Wogs out of Work', and later TV show, 'Acropolis Now'. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, George discusses stereotypes, playing characters from the underworld, rules of comedy, and his upcoming tour, Straight Outta Compo. He also sheds light on the term 'Skip' and how he flipped bigotry on its head, making this word part of the Aussie lexicon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
