The Italian Divorce

You can leave your wife but you can never leave your family.

From Marriage Breakdown to Family Meltdown - A Heartwarming New Comedy About Love, Guilt, and Discovering That Some Prisons Come with Home-Cooked Meals and Unconditional Judgment.

When Pino gets kicked out by his wife, he does what any self-respecting Italian man would do: he moves back in with his parents… BIG MISTAKE!

Within hours, the whole neighbourhood knows. Mamma’s dishing out guilt. Dad’s offering advice from 1971, and Dimitri “The Greek” neighbour is offering ouzo “for the healing.”

THIS ISN'T JUST COMEDY.

IT'S SURVIVAL.

A roast. A reunion. A group therapy session with biscotti.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT

IT'S PAINFULLY FAMILIAR. Whether you grew up with Catholic guilt, homemade salami, or uncles who knew a lot about nothing - this show will hit close to home.

IT'S YOUR CHILDHOOD, just with better lighting and bigger laughs. Think Nonna's Sunday lunch meets every family fight you've ever had over osso-buco and meatballs.

IT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS about the family you and your cousins were too afraid to ask!

And yes—there will be emotional damage. But we’ll get you through it.

The Italian Divorce celebrates the resilience of a generation that carried their homeland in their hearts while building a life for us.

It’s your memories.

It’s your meltdowns.

It’s your Nonna’s advice you never asked for.

It's loud, honest, loving and unforgettable!
