Costa Carastavrakis

Costa Carastavrakis is a South African Greek gay man who defines late blooming with his very first time on stage at the age of 44, at the New York Gotham Comedy Club, where he trained under Stephen Rosenfeld of the American Comedy Institute. Since then he has performed all over South Africa, with gigs in Athens, Austin, Cyprus, Dubai and Kulala Lumpur.

Seeking attention, he wrote his own one man show “Desperately Seeking Souvlaki” that is now on a world tour of unreasonably small venues - while the message of his brilliance spreads. He is a current nominee for a South African Comics Choice award and lives in Johannesburg with his two goldfish; Splashy and Sushi.
