14 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 NOVEMBER 2019 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Music 29 NOVEMBER APS Teatru Unplugged 22 Back in 1998, the first ever edi- tion of Teatru Unplugged was born. Since then, as Maltese music evolved, the simple yet magical concept of the annual event stayed the same; five acts of diverse musical genres within one concert in a stunning thea- tre. This year marks the 22nd edition of Teatru Unplugged, which will be held in the iconic Teatru Manoel in Valletta on three different nights between Friday 29 November and Sun- day 1 December 2019. The event starts at 8pm.

It is a satirical sketch show that somehow manages to walk the line between silly and biting, while, at the same time, constantly being the funniest show on the island. This year's show is Comedy Knights 007: Licence to Laugh. The title of the show reflects the number of years the Comedy Knights have been producing this an- nual sketch show. It promises to be always original, always topi- cal, always on point and per- haps most importantly, always hilarious. The cast features some of Malta's strongest comedy per- formers, as well as characters that have managed to enter lo- cal popular culture. Audience favourites such as the Bormla Babes, The First Lady and the Sliema Girls, are certain to make an appearance, while a vast selection of other sketches inspired by Maltese society and way of life will complete the show. Tickets are available from www.ticketline.com.mt and are on sale now. Such is the demand for tickets, that the entire run of shows is available for sale.
