If you tuned into Triple J’s Breakfast show this week, you would have heard Concetta Caristo on the airwaves. Caristo is a new addition to the youth radio station’s primetime team for 2023, joining co-host Bryce Mills on the mic.
Before she started waking up with the ABC, the Sydneysider cut her teeth as a standup comedian who delivered very funny sets about life as “the most Italian woman in the world” – who has never been to Italy. While she’s been on the comedy circuit since 2019, her standup career was put on hold during Covid lockdowns. That enforced time off gave Caristo a chance to throw herself into an important new passion: making her apartment look as nice as possible.
