WHAT IS THERE FUNNY TO SAY ABOUT CYPRUS?
Is laughing at it the best way to cope in a world that seems to have gone mad? One local stand-up comedian thinks so
Stand‑up comedy on the island was practically nonexistent a decade ago. Still young and informal, today’s tight-knit scene boasts acts in Greek, Cypriot Greek and English, with regular international stand‑up comedians making appearances on the island too.
Actor and founder of Stantar Kkomety, one of the best‑known local comedy collectives that runs open mic nights, podcasts, curated showcases, festivals and themed shows, Yorgos Kyriakou spearheaded a tour of Cyprus with his ‘Yorgos the Comically Cypriot’ act in both Cypriot Greek and English at the beginning of the year, a first for local audiences who are usually only get to see comedians perform in one language.
