Vittorio Angelone Brings His Sharp-Tongued Stand-Up to Aberdeen
Fast-rising Belfast-born comedian brings his new stand-up tour to the Tivoli Theatre
Not so long ago, Vittorio Angelone was studying classical music in London. Now he’s filling theatres across the UK with razor-sharp stand-up shaped by his Italian-Irish upbringing in Belfast. His new tour, You Can’t Say Nothing Any More, brings him to the Tivoli Theatre on Friday, 30 January.
The show marks a step up for Angelone, who’s gone from the circuit to major stages in what feels like no time at all. He has built a large audience through online clips, podcasts, and word of mouth. Along the way, he’s opened for some of the biggest names in British comedy. But it’s his own material that’s getting people talking.

Straight-talking with a twist
There’s a looseness to his delivery that feels conversational, but underneath it is tight writing and clear intent. He mixes observational humour with moments of genuine bite, often dissecting the way we discuss politics, identity, and the internet. His debut show, Translations, sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and earned him a Best Newcomer nomination.
You might have come across him on YouTube or via the podcast Mike & Vittorio’s Guide to Parenting. He also co-created Fin vs The Internet, and has popped up on BBC, Channel 4, and the Have A Word podcast. Much of his reach has come from short clips that travel well—sharp, funny, and just a bit exasperated.
Observational and slightly fed up
While the new show’s title hints at culture war-style complaints, Angelone isn’t pushing a party line. He’s more interested in the contradictions people sit with day to day, and why certain topics feel tense to talk about. That tension and how he unpicks it is where much of the comedy lives.
Tickets go on sale Friday, 11 July from the APA box office. If his previous shows are anything to go by, this one won’t hang around for long.
