On Saturday, June 14th at Tigullio, St. Julian’s, Maltese comedy icon Steve Hili will be shaving off his trademark dreadlocks during The Big Shave Off, a one-of-a-kind charity comedy night in support of Kellimni.com.

The event will feature a lineup of hilarious comedians including James Ryder, Ed Vassallo, Dan Xuereb, Paige Possanza, Colin Fitz, and Hili himself – all performing wild comedy games and donating their time for free.

Steve Hili is the only Maltese comedian to perform a solo hour in London’s West End and at Sydney’s Comedy Store. Known for his high-energy, no-holds-barred style, Hili has earned critical praise from The Guardian, VoiceMag, and the Melbourne Observer.

Graziella Schiavone from SOS Malta praised the initiative: “No one should feel ashamed to seek help. Events like this break the stigma and remind us that healing can begin with a conversation or even a laugh.”

Tickets: €20 – All proceeds go to Kellimni.com

Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, visited one of the sites alongside Żabbar Mayor Jorge Grech.

He emphasised that these upgrades are not only enhancing the quality of life for residents in the affected alleys but also contributing positively to the overall environment and infrastructure of the town.

Mayor Jorge Grech noted that this large-scale investment has been made possible through an agreement between the Public Works Department and 54 Local Councils, aimed at streamlining and facilitating similar community projects.

Architect Kurt Sapiano outlined the scope of the ongoing works, which include the complete replacement of drainage and water systems, along with new paving to ensure better accessibility for all residents.

The upgrades are part of a broader effort to modernise residential areas and ensure more resilient infrastructure throughout Ħaż-Żabbar.

Women March in Valletta Against Reproductive Rights

Women March in Valletta Against Reproductive Rights
May 29 2025 Share

The Voice for Choice coalition organised an event on May 28, the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, to call for the decriminalisation and destigmatisation of abortion in Malta.

Walking in silence, veiled women carried a striking “pavaljun” bearing the message “noħlom b’ġisem li hu biss tiegħi” (“I dream of a body that is mine alone”). Created by artist Lana Spiteri, the installation featured symbols of feminism, justice, fertility including the figure of the full-bodied woman and elements of the Maltese landscape.

Voice for Choice said the artwork and march aimed to highlight the injustices faced by women, non-binary individuals, and trans men due to Malta’s restrictive abortion laws. “As the sunrays on the pavaljun represent, we will remain resilient and keep moving forward towards our goal of abortion rights for all,” they affirmed.
