Biography
About Gus
Gus Constantellis (@constantlygus) is an internationally touring Greek American comedian and writer whose sharp, affectionate observations about immigrant families have made him a viral favorite across social media. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Gus discovered stand-up at an NYU talent show and never looked back. His career skyrocketed during the pandemic when he began impersonating his Greek mother—wig, attitude, unsolicited life advice and all—earning him a devoted online following and a national headlining tour in 2022. He has since been featured on Comedy Central and performs regularly in clubs throughout New York City.
Before comedy took center stage, Gus built a successful career writing for children’s television, including The Lion Guard, Rugrats, Princess Power, and Gabby’s Dollhouse. But beyond the jokes and the scripts, he’s also a fantastic home cook—something his friends and family can confirm with their stomachs and their souls.
A gay, first-generation Greek-American, Gus draws heavily from his boisterous immigrant upbringing, his heritage, and his wildly relatable dating stories. He has a Bruce Springsteen tattoo, watches RuPaul’s Drag Race with the intensity of someone following a crime procedural, loves yoga, and can often be found dancing until 4 a.m. None of this has anything to do with cooking. But the heart, humor, and love he learned from his Greek mom absolutely do.
