Wednesday Breakfast Interview: Alexis Sakellaris

JOY Breakfast with Brett, Tim & LJ are joined by Alexis Sakellaris, the multilingual, New York-born, Germany-raised performer bringing their hit show A Stan Is Born to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Alexis dives into their international upbringing, culture clashes, and how pop divas like Whitney, Mariah and Beyoncé became their ultimate guides to identity, confidence and performance. The conversation unpacks the evolution from musical theatre to musical comedy, what makes Australian audiences uniquely chaotic (in the best way), and why blending storytelling, music and stand-up is the future of comedy. Plus, practical advice for anyone wanting to break into comedy, reflections on the European theatre scene, and plenty of JOY Breakfast chaos along the way.
