Within my performance, a key solo performer I have looked at and incorporated throughout my work is Angelo Tsarouchas. Tsarouchas is a Canadian Greek solo performer best known for his stand up comedy. Tsarouchas performances are based on his Greek heritage roots which provide the rich authentic material for his shows. With this in mind, he has been the main influence for preparing my show. The purpose of my performance is to portray autobiographical stories of my culture with light hearted elements which occasionally touch on more serious tones. Tsarouchas composes himself exceptionally well throughout his performances with a strong delivery and delivers his show with purpose. Nevertheless, having watched Tsarouchas Its All Greek show many times during this module, it has been a guidance of how i should deliver my performance with confidence and clarity. Furthermore, Its All Greek has taught me how to relax and have fun with the performance incorporating jokes which banter myself alongside the Greek community. To conclude, i struggle to find comedians funny nevertheless i do believe Angelo Tsarouchas is hilarious and does what he is suppose to do. Its All Greek to me is highly fascinating as i could watch him for hours without getting bored. This what i want to achieve with my 8-12 minute performance.  The standard is set to reach Tsarouchas.
