The Festival of Satire Bla Kondixin, returns in a light summer version, and featuring new material. Regular patrons of Bla Kondixin know that they are getting the best biting satire and original humour, delivered by the most popular comedians.

This year’s event takes to task the low cost airlines. A whole array of zany characters make sure that it will be an evening of non-stop laughter.

Among the many guests will be Ray Calleja, who brings Frankie Quattromani back to life and Hector Bruno with a send-up of a luggage loader. Mario ‘Snits’ Spiteri creates a new character – the rather unlucky Kamikaze. Leigh-Anne Abela gives us Angolina, the precocious seven-year old daughter of a prominent government minister. Malcolm Galea and P. J. Xerxen provide us with some linguistic fireworks as the Traditur has some tough translating to do – from heaven! Bla Kondixin Lite will be piloted by Chris Grech.

Bla Kondixin Lite will take place at the site of the old opera house in Valletta between today and Sunday at 9pm. Tickets are available from St James Cavalier; tel.: 2122-3216; email: [email protected]. For more information visit the website: www.blakondixin.com.
