Event Information

Description

Stavros Halkias is a comedian, actor and writer from Baltimore, Maryland, now based in New York City. He most recently wrote, produced and starred in the indie comedy Let’s Start a Cult. His latest stand-up special, Fat Rascal, is streaming on Netflix, following his debut special Live at the Lodge Room, which hit one million views in its first four days and has since surpassed seven million.

One of the most in-demand touring comedians today, Halkias is currently on The Dreamboat Tour. His podcast Stavvy’s World debuted at #3 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, amassing hundreds of thousands of subscribers in its first year. He will soon appear in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, premiering at the Venice Film Festival, and in A24’s Tony, a film about Anthony Bourdain. He also stars in the Netflix comedy series Tires, bringing his quick wit and offbeat charm to television audiences.

A founding member and former co-host of the hit podcast Cum Town (2016–2022), Halkias has also been featured in Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi series Command Z. Outside of comedy, he made his runway debut at KidSuper’s Paris Fashion Week show in 2023, earning Vogue’s nod as “the plus-est of plus-size models.” His ultimate dream? Get just famous enough to buy his mother a nice home — then retire from show business to open a surf-and-turf restaurant in East Baltimore.
