Vittorio Angelone

Vittorio Angelone (born 26 May 1996) is a Northern Irish comedian, actor and writer. He is known for exploring cultural identity through his work.

Early life Angelone was born in Belfast to an Italian-Northern Irish family. He relocated to London at the age of 18 to train as a classical percussionist at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Career Angelone began performing stand-up comedy in 2018.

In 2021–22, he debuted his hour-long stand-up show Translations, which explored his experiences as an Italian-Irish person in London. The show, whose structure was loosely based on the play of the same name by Irish playwright Brian Friel, was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2022. Angelone went on to perform the show in a run at the Soho Theatre in early 2023 and, after another run at the Edinburgh Fringe, released the show on YouTube in September of that year.

Angelone's comedic voice centres on identity and belonging. He describes himself as "always Irish, sometimes Northern Irish, but never British", and highlights the nuances of performing jokes that "ruffle a few feathers, but with warmth and kindness".

In 2024, Angelone began touring his second solo show, Who Do You Think You Are? I am! The show explores themes of identity, and is inspired by bowler Pete Weber; the title is derived from Weber's viral celebration of his victory at the 2012 U.S. Open. Angelone has linked the show's exploration of identity and "external perception" to his experience of learning that he may be autistic, he received this diagnosis after his tour ended; he also frequently discusses this topic on his podcast. .

Television appearances In January 2019, Angelone appeared as a contestant on the Channel 4 game show Countdown. In November 2025, he competed on Richard Osman's House of Games and became the third contestant in the show's history to win all five episodes of his week. In March 2026, his appearance on The Last Leg alongside former Conservative minister Penny Mordaunt made headlines when he joked that she was "very supportive of the prosthetics industry" because she had been "promoting on Twitter an arms fair in Saudi Arabia".

Personal life Angelone has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD.
