Michael Mathioudakis

Michael Mathioudakis, who also appears as Michalis Mathioudakis, is a Greek stand-up comedian and actor, born in Athens in 1981. He performs in Greek and builds his material out of everyday Greek life and culture.

His reputation rests on live shows in Greece, several of which have sold out, and he has taken his stand-up on tour in Europe as well. Away from the stage he keeps a YouTube channel, running since 2014, and accounts on Instagram and TikTok.

He studied acting at the Iakovos Kambanellis drama school in Agia Varvara and worked with the theatre groups Askisi, Pequod and Blitz. He wrote the stand-up monologue The Heart of Man and performed it in Athens. He won the audience and jury first prize at the 3rd Stand Up Comedy Festival.
