What is comedy? Comedy is sometimes a surprising mix-up, sometimes a perfectly misplaced punchline, and sometimes a single second that breaks a long-standing silence—it always brings a knowing smile, and sometimes, laughter through tears. Comedy is more than just a form of entertainment that makes people laugh—it’s also an attitude. In the face of life’s ever-changing joys and sorrows, it allows us to pause, to catch our breath, to give ourselves a lift, and to keep moving forward with renewed spirit. The Music & Laughs Concert unfolds in four chapters, traversing music, laughter, and human connection. Whether it’s the grandeur of orchestral music, the emotional resonance of pop music, the whimsical creativity of stage performance, or the humour woven into urban life, each becomes a sincere—and sometimes delightfully wild—firsthand experience. A group of cross-disciplinary artists gathers for this evening: creators, musicians, singers, dancers, and a new generation of actors and comedians—all offering their own unique answers to the question: What is comedy? Tonight, you will laugh—but not only laugh.
