Here for the laughs: Comedy Knights live at the MFCC
One of our favourite comedy crews is back this festive season for three shows only!
This Christmas, the Comedy Knights are making a comeback for their first live Christmas show in no less than 714 days and this year, the show will be held at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.
Cast members of the Comedy Knights Live: Bigger, Louder and Funnier! include Chris Dingli, Marc Cabourdin, Jo Caruana, Pia Zammit, Colin Fitz, Thomas Camilleri, Chantelle Micallef Grimaud and Steve Hili, as well as special guests James Ryder, Malcolm Galea, Samantha Cassar Ellis, Francesca Scerri and Naomi Said. The show will take place on December 26, 27 and 28 and will feature all the naughty-but-nice hilarity that the troupe is known for.
The new show continues the Comedy Knights tradition of tickling the festive funny bone with audience favourites such as The Sliema Girls, The Bormla Babes, The Balluta Boys and many more. “Plus, this year will be the first year we have some new characters making their way to the stage. After all, this is the first show when we now have two new political leaders,” said Wesley Ellul, co-producer and director.
Powered by radio station XFM 100.2 and supported by Pepsi Max, Carlsberg, Marks & Spencer, The Atrium and the Finesse Writers Club, the show is moving to MFCC from its former home of Teatru Salesjan, to allow audiences to sit comfortably and enjoy the comedy, while staying safe at all times. In fact, every member of the audience can choose between a socially distanced or regular seat when booking.
“MFCC’s massive size allows everyone to feel that space around them, while still being intimate enough for enjoy the show no matter where they sit. This also means the stage is bigger, giving us more room to play with,” added the director.
“We know that people really want more Comedy Knights – especially after the excruciating last 22 months in the events industry – so we can finally do what we love and bring smiles to people’s faces again. As a team, we look forward to hearing audiences laugh and squeal as much as you enjoy watching us.”
What is it about?
According to the director, this show takes somewhat of a light-hearted look back at the year, with the aim of giving us a glimmer of hope, that next year will be a little better.
