Θέλω να σου κρατάω το χέρι Περιοδεία

This new play marked a significant artistic turning point for one of Athens' most historic theatres.

Through the lens of global dramatic tradition, the work balances comedy and pathos. It invites audiences toward recognition of what we ultimately seek: genuine companionship, someone to hold our hand. Many viewers reported recognizing their own stories reflected on stage.

Λάμπρος Φίσφης Πολύ Καλύτερα Τώρα

Lampros Fisfis performs a monologue examining everyday life details that unite audiences. For ninety minutes, he overanalyzes existence and practices self-mockery, complaining about nearly everything, then complaining about the rest. With rapid-fire delivery and strong audience connection, Fisfis creates an intimate community that lives only for that evening. Drawing on over 15 years of stand-up comedy experience, he discovers hidden comedy throughout ordinary life: chapel weddings, odd children's names, relationship arguments, camping contradictions, morning buffet frenzy, dietary quirks, and reaching forty. His solo comedy shows have sold out across Greece, Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Fisfis founded Athens Comedy Festival, Greece's largest comedy festival.
