From the creators of Big Mamma’s Boy and the director of Wog Boys Forever
comes a new comedy STAGE SHOW that’s loud, heartfelt, and hysterically relatable...
You can leave your wife but
you can never leave your FAMILY
When Pino gets kicked out by his wife, he does what any good Italian son would do - moves back in with his parents.... BIG MISTAKE!
Within hours, the whole neighbourhood
knows. Mamma’s dishing out guilt. Papa’s offering advice from 1971, and Dimitri the
neighbour brought ouzo “for the healing.”
THIS ISN'T JUST COMEDY.
IT'S SURVIVAL.
A roast. A reunion.
A group therapy session with biscotti.
WhY YOU WILL LOVE IT
IT'S PAINFULLY FAMILIAR. Whether you grew up with Catholic guilt, overcooked pasta, or uncles who knew a lot about nothing - this show will hit close to home.
IT'S YOUR CHILDHOOD, just with better
lighting and bigger laughs. Think Nonna's Sunday lunch meets every family fight you've ever had over osso-buco and meatballs.
IT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS about the family you and your cousins were too afraid
to ask.
And yes—there will be emotional damage.
But we’ll get you through it.
A SHOW FOR THE
WHOLE FAMILIA
From director Frank Lotito (Wog Boys Forever) and the creative team behind
Big Mamma's Boy, comes their most
personal comedy yet. The Italian Divorce
is a laugh-out-loud, tear-a-little stage show
that captures the messy, beautiful soul of
our Italian-Australian life.
It’s about love, control, healing,
and how hard it is to grow up
when your Mamma won’t let go.
More than comedy
it's coming home
A tribute to the parents who never let go,
and the kids who never really left.
And to the chaos that somehow still
counts as love.
It’s your memories.
It’s your meltdowns.
It’s your Nonna’s advice you never asked for.
The Italian Divorce is YOUR family reunion served with laughter and a glass of vino.
come for the laughs
stay for the therapy
If you grew up with gossiping Zias, Sunday food comas, and guilt as a love language,
this show is for you.
It’s everything you love about your family…
and everything that drives you mad about them as well.
Bring your parents. Bring your kids.
Bring your emotional baggage.

Mi pisciao nu poco sutta - but that's alrighta. Mi scialàrisi tutta!
Yeah, I thought Bruno's scoreggio alone deserves a LOGIE. It was pretty epic.
