Luca Cupani
Corporate Comedy Professional
Luca brings comedy where it’s least expected but most needed: the corporate world.
He is a multi-award-winning comedian with a background in publishing and creative writing.
Born and raised in Italy, Luca studied Classics and earned a Master’s in Publishing under the direction of world-famous novelist Umberto Eco. After working in the publishing industry for years, Luca took a leap of faith in his early 30s, attending a drama school to pursue acting.
He then moved to London, where his comedy career began.
Over the years, Luca has performed at major festivals and competitions, including Just For Laughs in Montreal (2016)
and the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition (2023),
where he placed second.
His dual citizenship (Italian and British) shapes his distinct comedic style, blending sharp, dry wit with a charming European flair.
