Events Description
Sooshi Mango are one of Australia’s most successful and beloved comedy acts, created by brothers Joe and Carlo Salanitri and their close friend Andrew Manfre. What began just nine years ago as casual, car-filmed comedy clips quickly grew into a cultural phenomenon. Their relatable, character-driven humour—rooted in the experiences of immigrant families, has earned them record-breaking live shows, viral global reach, and a devoted audience across Australia and beyond.
The trio has achieved unprecedented success in live entertainment, becoming the only comedy act to sell out both Rod Laver Arena and Qudos Bank Arena multiple times (three and two consecutive sell-outs respectively). Their accolades include an AACTA Award for Favourite Australian Digital Comedy Creator and a feature role in the smash hit motion picture comedy, Wog Boys Forever. Their transformative 2022 Off the Boat Tour sold over 125,000 tickets across Australia and marked their international breakthrough, with sell-out performances across North America (including Toronto, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, and Boston) and two sold-out shows in London. These appearances introduced their uniquely Australian, ethnic-inspired comedy to new global audiences.
Digitally, Sooshi Mango has become a powerhouse, amassing more than one billion video views and cultivating an online community of over 8 million followers worldwide! Their characters, Johnny, Vince, and Sam, along with Giuseppina, Carmela, and Angela – have become iconic tributes to migrant parents and grandparents, blending affectionate parody with universal humour. They also hold the record for the most viral video ever produced in Australia, with over 170 million views and counting.
Beyond the stage and screen, the trio has expanded their creative universe into hospitality and media. In 2023, they opened Johnny, Vince & Sam’s Ristorante on Melbourne’s Lygon Street, bringing their characters into a theatrical dining environment. They launched the Sooshi Mango Podcast, performed at the Dubai Comedy Festival, and sold out the Palais Theatre twice while filming their first TV feature.
