A truly multifaceted and bilingual comedic force, Basile is currently touring internationally to sold-out audiences with his two signature productions: the wildly popular “BasileLicious” World Tour, performed in English for general audiences, and the critically acclaimed “Growing Up Greek in America,” a Greek-themed, bilingual (Greek and English) comedy experience. Both shows have been distributed globally through DVDs and digital downloads, selling millions of copies worldwide and solidifying Basile as a cultural and comedic phenomenon.
