Laff-it-Off closed its 2025 season with nine nights of nonstop laughter and a sold-out finale attended by President Dame Sandra Mason. From sharp political wit to everyday Bajan humour, the cast delivered a standout performance that cemented the show’s place in Barbados’ cultural heritage. As Executive Producer Ian Estwick shared, the season’s success rests on the patrons whose laughter, feedback, and support keep the country’s longest-running theatrical tradition thriving.

Laff-it-Off’s 40th anniversary season is so in demand, three extra shows have been added in March. With every performance selling out and patrons flocking to the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Executive Producer Ian Estwick says the extension is a direct response to overwhelming public support. This year’s production, packed with satire on politics, customer service, crime, immigration, and financial schemes, continues to prove why Laff-it-Off remains Barbados’ longest running theatrical tradition.

Laff-it-Off 2025 comes in swinging with clever satire, sharp political wit, and laugh-out-loud moments that leave audiences howling. From road accident claims to political takedowns, brown water woes, and the ever-popular Nook & Cranny Bar, the two-hour production is packed with scenes that mirror Barbadian life with humour and heart. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the cast delivers standout performances that prove once again why Laff-it-Off remains a cornerstone of local culture.

Laff-It-Off returned in 2024 with Lookah Muh Crosses, putting everyday Barbadian life under its signature comedic microscope. From public service woes to political switch-ups, the cast delivered a steady stream of sharp observations and belly laughs that had the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre roaring. With fresh faces Kiara Smith and Neil Waithe joining the seasoned performers, the production once again proved why Laff-It-Off remains one of the island’s most anticipated theatrical traditions.

Laff-It-Off has welcomed six interns from the UWI Cave Hill Faculty of Culture, Creative and Performing Arts, giving students their first major hands-on theatre experience since the pandemic. With guidance from Artistic Director Cecily Spencer-Cross and the show’s seasoned team, the interns are gaining real-world training in Barbados’ longest running theatrical production—an invaluable opportunity as the Faculty rebuilds practical learning after two years of virtual theatre.
