Comedy skits presented by 'The Expressions' in mega shows like Wilfy Nites and Wilson Olivera Nites and the decennial function of MCA Qatar are much talked about and have won accolades and prizes in TV shows in Daijiworld and Namma TV channels. 'The Expressions' also joined hands with the parish council of Jeppu to organize the Udupi diocese level Wilfy Rebimbus memorial singing competition.
'The Expressions' grandly launched Rockin' Angels, probably the first-ever kids' band in Udupi, in a mega show on January 1 this year in front of a jam-packed crowd at the grounds of Mother of Sorrows Church, Udupi.
