A brand new stand-up comedy club is about to crash-land in the heart of Valletta promising to bring with it boldness, boisterousness and all round berserk  bedlam – The Chicken Coop!

Inspired by the plethora of clubs on the London circuit and supported by – Jameson Irish Whiskey The Chicken Coop will be a monthly event held at Djangos in Republic Street Valletta and organised by Revolt.  

Local comedian  and Chicken Coop organiser Steve Hili explains:

‘Local Stand-up comedy has really only been in existence for a year and a half, but already a number of comedians have started to develop their own particular style and a bit of a following. Many local comedians are fearless, joking about  everything and anything.  We love ruffling feathers – that is one of the reasons we are calling this club The Chicken Coop – and the energy surrounding the scene is incredible. And now, thanks to some help from our mates at Farsons Beverage Imports with Jameson Irish Whiskey and Djangos in Valletta we want to take this to another level.’

Steve himself has performed on the London circuit quite successfully and hopes that The Chicken Coop can help local comedians take the same step.

And that is not all.

Every month a complete newbie – a comedy virgin can win a chance to do a set.

‘We want the stand-up community in Malta to grow and flourish. We want more and more people to feel the rush of getting up in front of an audience and making them laugh.  Once you get bitten by the stand-up bug you are never the same again. It is unbelievable.’

To win a chance of being on stage for a Chicken Coop show (and a bottle of Jameson) send a video of yourself  delivering your best ‘Chicken’ joke to jameson@farsons.com. The joke deemed to be the best by The Chicken Coop team wins the chance to get on stage. It is that easy.

More information will be on Jameson Whiskey Malta facebook page. Don’t forget to like it! You can also find the Chicken Coop page on FB.

The first Chicken Coop  event will be held on Saturday June 21st will feature Steve himself as well as other crowd favourites Philip Leone Ganado, and Joseph Zammit. Malcolm Alden on MC-ing duties.  Entrance will be free!
