Fourth International Limassol Comedy Festival to launch

The 4th International Limassol Comedy Festival is set to take place in Cyprus from September 30 to October 4, 2026. Organized by Stantar Kkomety, the five-day event will feature over 45 comedians performing 18 shows across six venues in Limassol's Old Town, specifically around Genethliou Mitella Street. The participating locations include Theatro ENA, Sto Dromo Bar, the Old Dog Club, ARCO, Da Vinci, and the Alley Stage.

The festival lineup includes international headliners such as Desiree Burch, Loren Kraut, Tamer Kattan, Rogier Bak, Zahid Dewji, Jen Kober, and Maxi Witrak, alongside Greek and Cypriot performers. Founder Yorkos is scheduled to perform his solo show 'Eimai Kypreos' and headline 'The Locals in English'. The program will offer performances in four languages—English, Greek, Russian, and Serbo-Croatian—with diverse formats including double bills, open mics, and the 'Roast of Cyprus'.

Festivities begin on September 30 with free opening-night events, including street performances and pop-up activities designed to create a compact festival atmosphere. While most shows are ticketed, the inaugural evening offers competitive open mics and New Festival Voices segments. Organizers have curated the schedule to allow audiences to select performances based on their preferred language, ensuring accessibility for the international community in Limassol.
