Debuting his career as the King of Urban Comedy, Anthony Salame has continuously refined his comedic craft where he now promotes a more family friendly ethos.

He has shared the stage with comedy legends, Pablo Francisco, Jimmy Carr, Bill Burr, Jeff Ross, Jo Koy and many more.
His recent solo hour Anthony Salame Live had massive box office engagements at Sydney and Perth Comedy Festivals as well as one off performances in Melbourne and Adelaide. Anthony also joined forces with his mates in 2024 and unveiled his newest collaborative show, Don’t Forget the Garlic, a curated lineup with some of the funniest comedians on the circuit with just a hint of garlic, including Tahir, Rob Shehadie, John Achkar and more. Previously, Anthony received a nomination for a prestigious ARIA Award in the best comedy category for his stand up special Is This Thing On?
