Stavros Halkias

Stavros Halkias is a comedian, actor, and writer from Baltimore, Maryland, now based in New York City. He most recently wrote, produced, and starred in the indie comedy Let’s Start a Cult. His latest stand-up special, Fat Rascal, is streaming on Netflix, following his debut special Live at the Lodge Room, which hit one million views in its first four days and has since surpassed seven million.

One of the most in-demand touring comedians today, Halkias is currently on The Dreamboat Tour. His podcast Stavvy’s World debuted at #3 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, amassing hundreds of thousands of subscribers in its first year. He will soon appear in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, premiering at the Venice Film Festival, and in A24’s Tony, a film about Anthony Bourdain. He also stars in the Netflix comedy series Tires, which was recently renewed for a third season. He’s a former co-host and founding member of the popular podcast “Cum Town,” which ran from 2016-2022 and he was featured in Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi series Command Z. Halkias is also an accomplished model, walking in Kid Super’s Paris fashion week show in 2023 where he was described by Vogue as “the plus-est of plus size models”. His goal is to get just famous enough to buy his mother a nice home and then quit show business to open a surf and turf restaurant in East Baltimore.
