Winner Best Comedy Weekly Award - Adelaide Fringe 2026
What is love? How does it feel? When does it happen?
From the loins of multi-award winning comedian, Jeromaia Detto, the disarmingly charming Giuseppe Alfresco is desperate to understand: "What is love?"
He is but a humble Italian beach boy, who has never been in love or loved another. He has never felt it, seen it or known what it is, but, maybe he will finally fall in love.
