Lalor’s own star comedian James Liotta is venturing out on a tour all over the country.

Liotta’s’ shows bring to the stage the humorous, relatable observations of growing up in an Italian household with humbleness and passion.

He has appeared on TV in numerous roles, including ‘Thank God You’re Here’, ‘Upper Middle Bogan’,’ Prank Patrol’, ‘Underbelly’, ‘Planet Unearth’, ‘Australia’s Got Talent’, as well as most recently on the new seasons of ‘Fat Pizza’ in the ongoing role of ‘Lino’ and on Darradong council as ‘Jamo’ alongside Logie winner, Paul Fenech.

Liotta has also had great success online through his viral comedy sketches that have amassed millions of views.

Entertainment runs through his blood, as Liotta’s late Father Sebastiano played Eric Bana’s Father in the Australian smash hit feature film ‘The Castle’.

In his latest show, ‘Mamma’s Not Happy’, Liotta brings the best of his classic material along with brand new stories and surprises weaved into a night of laughs suitable for the whole family, plus an appearance by the much loved character, Maria Pappagallo.

He said the show is one for the whole family, and is inclusive for people of all walks of life.

The tour begins in Perth on June 21, before flying through Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane, saving the best for last in a return home to Melbourne on July 27 at the Thornbury Theatre.
