In Detail
Ώπα Festival! powered by ΔΕΗ
Five acts and a stand-up comedian share a single Thursday night stage. Ώπα Festival lands at Technopolis on June 4 as an evening built around the collision Athens does best — heritage Greek music against contemporary live energy.
The Superior Comedy Tour - Mario Adrion
Mario Adrion came to comedy sideways — a German fashion model who appeared in Vogue, moved to Los Angeles, and turned the culture shock of a European in America into a stand-up act that now travels the world. On 6 June he brings *The Superior Comedy Tour* to ARCH Club's Live Stage in Tavros, performing entirely in English. The material runs through stereotypes, vanity, and the absurdities of his former modelling life — the same vein that built an audience of more than four million across his social channels and carried his debut special, *My Struggle*, onto YouTube in March 2026.
Kevin Bridges - Here if you need me
Kevin Bridges has not played Athens before. The Glaswegian stand-up, who sold out the Beacon Theatre during his 2025 North American run, brings the "Here If You Need Me" tour to Floyd on Monday 22 June 2026 at 19:30. Bridges has worked the close-observation register for over a decade — neighborhood stories, family scenes, the slow comedy of small embarrassments delivered in a thickened Glasgow lilt.
Sexy laundry
After four years on Athens stages, Spyros Papadopoulos and Renia Louizidou take Sexy Laundry on the road — and the Lycabettus Theatre on Saturday 27 June 2026 at 21:30 is the opening night of the summer tour. Michele Riml's Canadian comedy Sexy Laundry puts Larry and Alice in a luxury hotel room with a beginner's sex manual, twenty-five years and three children into their marriage, trying to remember what intimacy felt like. Papadopoulos directs and plays Larry; Louizidou plays Alice.
Το πάρτι της ζωής μου
Eleni Rantou stands alone onstage with a microphone and a lifetime of material. The String Demons play behind her.
Η Πριγκίπισσα των Αγίων Σαράντα! 2ος Χρόνος
A publisher with an inflated ego convinces a visiting English investor that his wife is a former Albanian princess — Haris Romas's comedy "Η Πριγκίπισσα των Αγίων Σαράντα!" enters its second year at Coronet Theatre on 12 November 2026 at 20:00. Romas writes, directs and stars as Paminos. Ava Galanopoulou and Sofia Pavlidou play the women caught inside the unfolding cover story — a comedy of misunderstandings that reaches at the human compulsion to feel important. The first season ran from 4 December 2025 through 28 February 2026 — a three-month engagement that earned the autumn return. Coronet Theatre stands at Frynies 11 and Ymittou Street in Pangrati, a roughly ten-minute walk uphill from Evangelismos metro into the neighborhood's residential streets.
Η Καρυάτιδα!
The sixth Caryatid returns from the British Museum. She steps off the pedestal, walks into contemporary Greece, and finds a country that has not changed as much as it thinks.
Frequently Asked Questions
