In an impressive feat, they have broken the house record at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena to be the only comedy act to perform more than two shows of the same tour in the last 20 years " a very special achievement in their hometown.
"It's still all very surreal! Selling out arena shows, and all the accolades are nothing compared to hearing thousands of people laugh, especially after what we've been through. Now we have another two months on the road again to bring laughter to all that missed out. Even though I miss out on Salami season! I can't wait to do it all over again!" – Joe
"I'm so overwhelmed by how much people are enjoying this show! We put a lot of work into it to make it an experience the fans would never forget, and it feels great that it's being received that way. Finally, I made my Italian mother proud after all those years of disappointing her!" – Carlo
