Sooshi Mango is an Australian comedy troupe founded in 2015.[1][2] The group consists of two brothers, Joe and Carlo Salanitri, and their best friend, Andrew Manfre. Sooshi Mango is best known for their comedy skits, acts, videos, series and live shows, paying homage to their experiences growing up in an Italian family, and around Italians, Greeks, Croats, and other ethnic cultures living in Australia.[3][4]

The comedic influences of the group include Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Benny Hill and many more. Being most strongly inspired by their European ancestry, their content is commonly rooted in humorously depicting the Italian and Greek ethnic and cultural diaspora and their role in Australian society, and its racial prejudice and social mechanisms of the modern-day world.[5][6]

Sooshi Mango features many characters in their skits, with characters Johnny, Vince and Sam being seen in the majority of their videos. With over 800 million views and counting,[7] Sooshi Mango has been featured in four theatrical shows in multiple countries. Sooshi Mango are the only comedy group in history to sell out three shows in a row at Rod Laver Arena, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. [7][8] Sooshi Mango have also been at the centre of advertisements for numerous companies.

In 2021, they launched their podcast, titled 'Saucy Meatballs', which has gone on to become one of the biggest and most listened to podcasts in Australia, continuing this success well into the second season of the series.

Sooshi Mango won at the 2021 AACTA Comedy Awards for Favourite Digital Comedy Creator.[9][10] Sooshi Mango began writing a script for their first own feature-length film in 2022.[11]

History

[edit]

The troupe's name originated in 2015 from Joe Salanitri's son, who, when Joe and Carlo were trying to think of a name for their comedy group, shouted the two words whilst running through the house.[12] Joe and Carlo decided to adopt the name due to its silliness.[12] At this time, Carlo Salanitri was the owner of a lighting shop, Joe Salanitri was a salesman and Manfre worked as a scrap metal merchant.[11] Sooshi Mango first gained popularity when they started in 2015 upon the virality of their video Italians Vs Greeks and Ethnic Dads on Facebook.[13][14][11] Joe Salanitri said of the Ethnic Dads skit, "We decided to do a video about ethnic dads and that was the first video we did that sort of cracked eight, nine million views."[11] Manfre thought of their heritage comedy, "It's important that we leave a legacy behind just to remember that they [our parents] were here, they worked hard and they contributed to the country for me. That's my motivation."[11]

Sooshi Mango has worked with several personalities, including Nick Giannopoulos and Mary Coustas.[15] The trio has been able to transform their comedy to the stage and has had success touring internationally and several times in Australia.[15][16] Their first show on stage was ‘Star Wogs’ in 2018, which also featured Nick Giannopoulos, along with Mary Coustas. The Sooshi Mango crew have stated that they believe Star Wogs was the show that lifted their skills in acting.[9] Sooshi Mango conducted two of their own shows in 2019. Ethnic Vacation – The Invasion of Canada was an international show that was performed in three of Canada's major cities.[15] Fifty Shades Of Ethnic took place in Australia, which proved to be extremely successful in over 10 Australian cities.[9]

Sooshi Mango later announced a new show named 'Off The Boat', that was set to come to the stage in 2021, however it was later rescheduled to early 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[17] This show marked their biggest performance to date at the time, taking place in arenas.[9] Before the delay was made, Sooshi Mango released a new brand of Pino Silvestre before Father's Day.[18] September 2021 saw Sooshi Mango announce a new podcast titled Saucy Meatballs: A Podcast Not About Meatballs,[9] which the trio had been wanting to host for over three years.[9] In late 2021, Sooshi Mango were nominated for and won the AACTA Favourite Digital Comedy Creator award.[10][19] Off The Boat finally concluded in September 2022 and the addition of extra and encore shows raised their total show count to 44. The show marked the troupe's biggest event.[20]

Sooshi Mango made their debut in cinemas in October 2022, with a feature role for the trio in Giannopoulos' Wog Boy 3: Wog Boys Forever.[21] Manfre told the Greek Herald, "It's an absolute honour and a privilege to be a part of the movie. We've all grown up watching it so to be a part of the trilogy is unbelievable."[21] In 2022, it was confirmed that Sooshi Mango would begin scripting their own feature-length film.[11] Sooshi Mango were nominated for the same AACTA Award in 2022.[22]

Johnny, Vince & Sam's

[edit]

Sooshi Mango created a brand based on three of their most popular characters: the 'Ethnic Dads'. The character's names are: Johnny, Vince, and Sam. From this, the Johnny, Vince & Sam's Vino wine brand was born, with the first releases launched in 2022: the Sangiovese ’21, and the Moscato ’22. Later that year, the Johnny, Vince, and Sam's Sangiovese became the number one selling Sangiovese in all of Dan Murphy’s liquor merchant stores, Australia-wide.

In 2023, Sooshi Mango partnered with Johnny Di Francesco (Restauranteur and Director of Gradi Group), Dani Zeini (Royal Stacks burger restaurant founder), and Steven Ballerini (CEO of Australian freight and logistics management company Cora Group) to create and launch Johnny, Vince & Sam's Ristorante, in Lygon Street, Carlton, in Victoria, Australia, to much acclaim.

In 2023, the Johnny, Vince & Sam's Vino brand launched: Rosé ’23, Prosecco ’22, and Tiramisu (limited edition), again proving to be very well received.
