Comedian Carmen Ciricillo describes the funny side of being Italian.
From food to family to Mafia activities, the stand-up comedian gives a
great performance.

Having spent time with cuboid Welshmen and stunted Spaniards, it never
occurred to me that Italians were particularly short, but when he says
his mother is 4 foot 2 and weighs 315lbs, and 6 foot Italian guys are
freaky, it all made sense.

It also dawned on me that Hollywood actor, Al Pacino must be a real
short ass, because if you notice, he always seems to wear platform
shoes even when working with tiny women.

Ciricillo is quite slow, or should I say, deliberate, when he talks,
but he is a likable funny man, and he has loads of clips around the
internet proving that against all odds, Italian comedy is still not
dead.
