Professional variety theater institution. It was established as a professional troupe on May 25, 1957, acquiring the best traditions in the field of humor, which came from the amateur music of the city. In its beginnings, the troupe had a total of 14 actors, singers and instrumentalists, who were appointed as professionals after a selection from the most talented elements of the city's amateur groups. The first premiere was entitled "Satire, humor, music", based on the original creativity written by the humorist writers Spiro Comora*, Polikron Kotini and Dionis Bubani*. The director of the show was Llazar Verria. The characteristic of the first premieres of Estradés sé Fieri was the creation of two comic characters of the popular type. such as "Cfurku" and "Bodeci", where all their literary ideas were built and supported. This interesting scheme was partially used even later, with other pairs of characters, to later pass into the characteristic form of the variety show. From the shows that had an impression on the public during the first 25 years of its activity, there were: "Thumbojmé e pastrojmé", "Népér fletét e historimé", "Gaz ververor".
