Since 1999, Vittorio Leonardi has tried to show audiences a new way to see the world – slightly skewed, quirky & governed by cartoon law. Now, with a career spanning over 20 years, he explains his path to geekdom and how, in the end, we’re all a little geeky.

In It’s All Geek to Me, Vittorio trawls through music and movies, theatre and the back alleys of the internet to deliver his take on horror film logic, the merits of the musical, the internet’s infatuation with cats, his experiences of ADHD and how it all comes together.

Strap in and let him talk geeky to you, baby.

About Vittorio:

A 20-year stand-up comedy veteran, Vittorio got his start listening to the greats thanks to two brothers and their voluminous cassette collection. However, it would be the acting bug that bit first, leading him to study drama at Pretoria Technikon. But, not to be outdone, comedy prevailed and has taken him across the country and the world ever since.

2012 saw him represent the South African Department of Arts & Culture at the London Paralympics. Later that year he would go on to be nominated for the Times Comic Pen Award for his Comedy Writing at the South African Comics' Choice Awards. He was also featured in the first episode of Comedy Central Africa’s Comedy Central Presents.

In 2014, he represented South Africa at The Laugh Factory USA's 1st Annual Funniest Person in the World Competition, finishing 10th of 300 entrants, the performance of which can be viewed here.

On the small screen, he is a regular writer for SABC 1’s local gossip show The Real Goboza and has been a scriptwriter on local sitcoms including Thandeka's Diary, Abo Mzala and Ses Top'La.

No slouch in front of the camera, he can be seen in the 2009 sci-fi blockbuster District 9 and 48 Hour Film Project, Death's (Man)date, where he earned a Best Actor Award.

And when he’s not doing all of that, he is also a published author–

“Phoenix Fire” available on Amazon UK.

and host of his own podcast, Urbane Myths.
