2 METRAI: The Funniest Christmas Show

2 METRAI: Deivis Norvilas and Rafailas Karpis announce their biggest adventure yet — the arena tour “The Funniest Christmas Show.” After a successful tour across Lithuania, the project “2 METRAI” said goodbye to the programme “The Funniest Concert of the Year” at a sold-out Palanga Concert Hall. But the farewell is only temporary. Deividas Norvilas-Deivis and Rafailas Karpis are already preparing a new surprise for listeners and announcing the biggest concerts of their careers: in December, a new programme, “The Funniest Christmas Show,” will be performed in major concert halls and arenas across the country, together with a brass band — the Kaunas Big Band, whose principal conductor is Tomas Botyrius.

The new programme, presented in December and directed by Andrius Žiurauskas, will be much more than a concert. Audiences can expect a spectacle combining elements of a concert, play, comedy performance and show, featuring the Kaunas Big Band, LED visuals, impressive set design, lighting effects, specially composed music and unexpected surprises.

“Christmas is a time of miracles not only for the audience, but for us performers too, so we’ll try to create a miracle on stage. We’re preparing lots of interesting ideas which, we hope, will lift people into a true Christmas mood,” says Rafailas. “There’ll be a big band, Christmas songs and surprises. Without a doubt, we’ll do everything as we always do — with lots of laughter,” Deivis adds.

The organisers, Pepper Live, hint that audiences can look forward not only to new original songs, but also to unexpected interpretations of well-known pieces. The team can promise one thing already: there will be no pigeons flying in this show. The organisers accept no responsibility, however, for any of the other surprises awaiting audiences on stage.

During their more than six-month-long “The Funniest Concert of the Year” tour, the duo travelled across Lithuania, gave dozens of concerts and, as they joke, got to know each other more closely. “My favourite thing about Deivis is that he’s the only colleague who doesn’t block my view on stage. His worst trait?”
