The comedy scene is picking up on the island. Not only are some of the biggest names from the UK’s and Greece’s stand-up world are travelling to Cyprus for shows all year round but the locals are creating magic as well. Monthly comedy nights are on now, and even local comedy festivals have been established.

The majority of the shows are, as expected, in Greek, sometimes the odd comedy night in Russian comes along, and occasionally in English as well. An upcoming comedy evening in Nicosia this month arrives to celebrate the art of stand-up in English! Mark your calendar for March 27 at Prozak Kafeneio in Nicosia.

The Comedy Project CY organises the comedy event this month yet it will not have the usual line-up of comedians that perform around the island as this evening is an open mic night. So, if you have jokes and sets you have been meaning to try out in front of a crowd, this is the night for you.

“Expect sharp punchlines, bold stories and plenty of laughs in a laid-back, no-filter atmosphere,” says the team. Participation and attendance is free, though to perform you have to pre-book your spot by messaging @thecomedyprojectcy on Instagram. The show begins at 8pm.
