Meet the founder
Giorgos “Yorkos” Kyriakou
Actor · stand-up comedian · producer
Giorgos founded Stantar Kkomety in 2023 with a simple idea: Cyprus deserved a comedy scene with its own voice, its own rooms and a direct line to the wider stand-up world.
Onstage he performs as Yorkos the Comically Cypriot. Offstage he builds shows, creates opportunities for new performers and brings comedians together across languages and borders.

After the third International Limassol Comedy Festival inspired him to get involved, Arsenii joined Stantar Kkomety as Strategic Partner and Executive Producer. He works with Yorkos across strategy, production and growth, while performing stand-up in English and Russian.

The festival
From one theatre
to a whole city.
What began at Rialto Theatre grew into an international comedy festival across Limassol's historic centre—multiple stages, street energy and performers from Cyprus and abroad.
