This documentary follows Joe Avati's career in Australia up until he embarks on his mammoth world tour starting in Canada in September 2001. Featuring lengthy footage of his amazing stand-up routines, including footage of the infamous first ever Melbourne show captured by an amateur cameraman, VIVO is a rare opportunity to observe Joe Avati at work: live on stage as the performer, as a star in Canada during his promotional visits in 2001 and never before seen background footage of Joe Avati on tour. It also features interviews with Angela Rosa Matteo talking extensively with Joe Avati about his career, his routines and the Joe Avati we never hear about, the man behind the enigma.
