15 maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 27 NOVEMBER 2019 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Theatre 26 DECEMBER Comedy Knights 007: Licence to Laugh Every year, the Teatru Sales- jan in Sliema hosts what has become for many, a must-see Christmas tradition: The Com- edy Knights' annual Christmas show. 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. No extra shows are planned Music 29 NOVEMBER APS Teatru Unplugged 22 Back in 1998, the first ever edi- tion of Teatru Unplugged was born.

UNTIL 29 NOVEMBER Stories at the Museum From Tuesday 26th to Friday 29th November, Heritage Malta is inviting senior citizens to at- tend at the national-communi- ty art museum MUŻA to par- ticipate in an intriguing event which involves the sharing of narratives. The event 'Stories at the Museum' intends to in- spire the participants through two specific artworks that can ignite conversation. Initially ex- amining and sharing the stories which these paintings can tell, participants will then be en- couraged to dwell on particular episodes which they have lived throughout their lives and to share them with others. In this way, the museum will serve to give voice to its audience. For further information, call 2395 4360 or visit www.heritagemal- ta.org Thomas Smith Charity Swim Stories at the Museum
