Following sold-out performances in Montreal and at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood, Scoufaras brings the show to Beverly Hills, where he performs 17 characters in a 70-minute solo performance that mixes humor, tragedy, and intense storytelling.
In this conversation, Elias Scoufaras opens up about the inspiration behind Greek Viper, how Greek family life influenced the story, and the challenge of bringing so many characters to life alone on stage.
🎭 ABOUT GREEK VIPER
A charming Greek pianist lands his dream job and falls in love — but when tragedy strikes, he’s pulled into the dangerous underworld of the Montreal mafia while trying to keep the truth hidden from his hilariously overbearing Greek parents.
The show blends the heart of My Big Fat Greek Wedding with the grit of A Bronx Tale in a darkly funny and emotional solo performance.
In This Interview, We Discuss:
How Elias Scoufaras created Greek Viper and spent two years writing and developing the story
Performing 17 characters alone on stage in a high-energy one-man show
The influence of Greek family life and personal experiences on the story
The blend of comedy, tragedy, and mafia drama that defines the show
Audience reactions from sold-out performances in Hollywood and Montreal
The possibility of adapting Greek Viper into a feature film or limited series
Scoufaras also shares what it’s like performing such an intense solo show, how characters evolved during rehearsals, and why the story resonates with audiences beyond the Greek community.
