Episode Details

Vittorio Angelone, a Belfast-born comedian with Italian and Irish roots, is rewriting comedy norms by refusing to be boxed in—whether labeled “Italian” in Ireland or “Irish” in England. After moving to London at 18 for music college, he turned financial hardship and anxiety into art, thriving in Guildhall’s vibrant arts scene. Ironically, his Irish identity has grown stronger abroad—accent sharper, pride fiercer—as he confronts regional stereotypes head-on. He even laughs at Londoners mimicking Irish quirks, like the “G” drinking challenge. With a career built on reaching diverse audiences, Angelone rejects narrow labels, especially when it comes to his post-Troubles Irishness—which he deeply connects to, particularly the South—proving belonging isn’t defined by borders or accents, but by heart.
