Roberto Capitoni - 60 Is the New 40

Sixty used to mean the end - now it's just the beginning!

While the dinosaurs are long extinct and the Pompeians long buried in dust, Roberto Capitoni stands on stage very much alive, proving that the best years come after the good ones. Let's be honest: if Tom Cruise, Campino and Jim Carrey are all past 60, why not Roberto too?

Armed with a titanium hip, thinning hair and a healthy dose of self-deprecation, he tackles the big question: what does it mean to be young again? Botox or humour? Smoothie or schnitzel? In a world drowning in spam about miracle cures, pension statements and fitness promises, Capitoni swings between fits of laughter and a full-blown midlife crisis. And then there's Uncle Luigi - a walking disaster who turns every "golden age" into a "final hour".

But Roberto stays unshakeable: he fights with dignity against senior health magazines, philosophises about the shelf life of marriages and concludes that the real anti-aging secret is laughter.

60 is the new 40 - stand-up comedy with depth, charm and plenty of wrinkles to smile about.

Or as Roberto would put it: "Getting old isn't for cowards - but it's great fun for the audience!"
