His videos have titles like My Son Has a Bigger Stick Than Me and Wog Weddings in The Morning.

But talking to Sash Mishevski - his other name - reveals a quieter, more thoughtful person.

"I say in the podcast that 92 per cent of it is true and eight per cent is advertising," Vlad - he's not my cousin - says.

That might be something to keep in mind when he comes to Canberra for the second time with his new show, People Have Lost it.

It's an aptly titled follow-up to last year's People Are Gonna Lose It.

Despite the timing, COVID-19 will feature only briefly.

Vlad is more interested in the manners and mores of Macedonian-Australians and their interaction with wider Australian society - based on his experiences and those of people he knows - as well as wider social observation.

"I'm looking at some of the crazy stuff, the fun stuff," Vlad says.

"Social media, the culture we see online, parenting in modern culture."

Not to mention his wife, or The Mrs Pty Ltd as he calls her.

The Australian-born Vlad spent his early years in a "Maco"-dominated Sydney neighbourhood. It wasn't until he went to high school that his cultural exposure broadened and he "went Aussie" - he took up surfing. He was also given nicknames like "Mustafa" but not in an "angry" way, and he hasn't suffered much overt racism.

"I'm a big guy - I don't think people want to come up and say that to me," he said.

While Vlad acknowledges his comedy has its similarities to the earlier streams of "wog" - his word - humour established by Italian and Greek comedians, he says the Eastern European "wogs" have their own quirks.

One thing he says is distinctive is "our own brand of wordplay". He's referring to phrases like "go left" (a euphemism for sex) and the versatile "this that" (often used in lieu of a phrase such "and so on").

Vlad, 40, who'd been an unsuccessful musician in his youth, still had a performing itch to scratch that wasn't satisfied by spruiking houses in the family real-estate business.

In 2019, he began entertaining office colleagues and soon went online, where his musings quickly developed a wider following. Now, with his wife's blessing, he's barely dabbling in real estate, devoting himself to comedy.

He's on his second tour, including Wollongong, Sydney, Perth and Newcastle.

"In the second half of the year I want to go north, get into Brisbane and the Gold Coast," Vlad says.

Then he'd like to go east to New Zealand and tell the Kiwis to go left.

People Have Lost It is on at the Courtyard Studio, Canberra Theatre Centre on Friday, May 6 at 8pm. See: canberratheatrecentre.com.au
