Alexandros Tsouvelas talks politics, gambling and alcohol

Greek stand‑up comedian Alexandros Tsouvelas gave a candid interview in which he said he could consider entering politics and even founding his own party. He described his on‑stage persona “Taki Vardoukas” as reflecting a simple, authentic lifestyle close to nature, and emphasized his personal commitment to helping others.

Tsouvelas spoke about his upbringing in a religious family, his nightly prayers for loved ones, and the influence of his partner Eva, who offers him honest feedback. He also disclosed past addictions to gambling and alcohol, explaining how he overcame them – quitting alcohol after recognizing it as a habit and learning to control gambling by limiting bets to occasional, non‑obsessive wagers.
