Stand-Up Kids with Giorgos Xatzipavlou

This summer, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) is all about comedy! On three consecutive Sundays 18/07, 25/07 and 01/08 at 21:00, the popular stand-up comedian Giorgos Xatzipavlou takes over the SNFCC's Panoramic Steps to present a comedy show for children aged 6-12 years old and their parents. 
 

Giorgos Xatzipavlou uses the favorite language of children and grown-ups alike - comedy - to deliver a show that includes funny stories from his childhood, as well as answers to several questions that children ask themselves these days, such as: 
What does it mean to be a kid in this day and age?
What do children think their parents were like when they were young - and what were they like in reality?
Why do grown-ups give strange advice?
What is the funniest thing in the world?
Who is the greatest superhero?
What will we be when we grow up?
Which is the best fairy tale?
What is the coolest job you can have?

An interactive hybrid of stand-up comedy and talk show, which will show children that their parents still like to play! 

Giorgos Xatzipavlou has been a professional stand-up comedian since 2007, but he first ventured onto the stage in 2001, in Comedy Nights. He was the first to host regular stand-up comedy shows in a theater in Greece, and went on to found Stand-Up for U in 2014, a comedy institution in support of charitable causes. In addition to his solo appearances, he has collaborated on shows and tours in Greece with British comedians, as well as with members of the Comedy Store; in 2016, he created the Comedy Club for kids, the only stand-up comedy show for children in Greece. In 2015, he became the first Greek stand-up comedian to have a solo show aired on a Greek TV channel ("Things are hard" - Alpha TV), and in November 2017 and October 2019 he made the most extensive tours of Greek stand-up comedy outside of Greece, with sold-out shows in several cities, such as London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Berlin, Brussels, Oslo, Vienna, Zurich, Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, etc.  He has written and presented satirical shows for television, radio and the internet, he is a member of the group that created comedylab.gr, and he wrote the theatrical comedy "72 hours", which ran for two seasons in Athens and Thessaloniki. 

The opportunity to attend the concert, in compliance with all necessary measures of safety in accordance with the Hellenic National Public Health Organization, will be given to a limited number of viewers, through advance booking online.
