Comedy in English MARCH – US LIBERAL COMEDY ELITE: LEE CAMP

The Giggling Guiri is an English language comedy club which has been running comedy events in Madrid and Barcelona since 2005 and brings some of the best loved comedians from the UK, Ireland, US and Australia to Spain. They have a show coming up on Sunday 20th March with US comic Lee Camp. 

The Giggling Guiri (www.comedyinspain.com) is massively excited to present another opportunity to experience real US comedy upfront and live in Spain. Flown directly to Europe by the Glasgow Comedy Festival we managed to catch him en route for a couple of shows from one of the exceptional young talents in comedy in the US. Lee is also a contributor to The Onion newspaper, the Huffington Post, and has performed stand-up at events featuring Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore.
“Since my dad died, I've been concerned about who's going to keep the torch alive, who's going to keep it lit. And I saw Lee, and I was completely blown away by the balls he has, and I thought 'Hey, that's like my dad.' Three things about Lee really remind me of my father. One of which is that he's a thinking person's comic.

Comedy in English- Zoe Lyons live in Madrid

Comedy in Spain (The Giggling Guiri Comedy Club) has been running English language comedy nights in Madrid and Barcelona since 2005 and attracts well known comedians from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada and Australia. On Sunday 20th February, UK comic Zoe Lyons will be at the Teatro Anfil performing. 
 
 
 
 
ZOE LYONS: Chortle.co.uk in an ill conceived analysis of its reviews of the Edinburgh Fringe drew the sweeping and ridiculous conclusion that men were
funnier than women. Needless to say it caused an outcry especially at a time when female comedy has never enjoyed so much success. In the Uk a new
generation has emerged and it has never been better, on TV with BBC comedy award winner Miranda Hart, Catherine Tate, Emma Fryer and rocking the live
arena ladies like Sarah Millican, Janey Godley, Shappi Khorshandi and GG favourite, one Zoe Lyons. Zoe is one of the most confident performers you
will see anywhere commanding the stage, a gifted storyteller and wonderful connection with the audience. If you want to experience this new wave of
female comedy, come see one of the main protagonists this weekend. She is hilarious!   
BUY TICKETS NOW!!

When: Sunday February 20, 8.30pm (Doors: 8pm) 
Where: Teatro Alfil (c/ Pez 10 - M: Noviciado)

Titanic (Fish and Ships)- a comedy in English

Titanic (Fish and Ships) is a quirky comedy play based on the story of the Titanic performed by the company Face2Face, whose previous productions include A Christmas Carol and A Mid-Summer Night's Dream. We've seen some fantastic reviews about this show, where the audience is invited to jump aboard and enjoy hilarious situations, witty musical numbers, slapstick humour and plenty of gags. The cast seem larger than life too; consisting of a charming but clumsy captain alongside his crazy crew members; snobby aristocrats,  desperate stowaways and a couple of very clever fish.






You can go see the show at the Teatro Alcázar (Calle Alcalá, metro Sevilla L2) until 27th March on Saturdays at 5pm and Sundays at 12.30pm. The peformance is suitable for kids and highly recomended for families. Tickets are 15€ from Entradas.com.
