Joe Avati

Stand-up comedy by Australian comedian Joe Avati, The Good Old Days, a family-friendly show on generational differences and childhood memories, staged at The Glee Club in Glasgow.

The Good Old Days is a stand-up comedy show by Joe Avati, an Australian comedian whose early material focused on growing up Italian in Australia. This new show looks back at childhood memories and at the habits of different generations, from baby boomers and Gen X to millennials trying to explain social media to their parents. Cultural differences and generational quirks run through the material.

The material is clean and family-friendly, so grandparents, parents and children can sit together and laugh at the same jokes. Earlier work drew on family life, such as Nonna's cooking and Sunday gatherings, and the show asks whether the good old days were as good as people remember. Joe Avati's first album, Livin'la Dolce Vita, was released in 1999, and the comedian has since performed across Australia and internationally.

The show takes place at The Glee Club in Glasgow.
