FIC 2020 Cancelled!! Bring on FIC '21
Damn you Corona!!! We had been waiting in the hope that after the latest restrictions the situation by the end of the month might be better and allow us to get many of our planned events for the nightmare year that is/was 2020. Alas...
From conversations with friends who work in the Catalan health system we have been told the situation is still quite grave and to expect nothing only tighter restrictions confirmed by the headline in El Pais yesterday Nov 7... It was truly the last straw. We already had rearranged our amazing headliner The Blindboy Podcast, himself under a lockdown in Ireland restricting him not to move beyond 5km from his home!! But we are delighted to have confirmed with him and the same venue and he has now committed to next years festival and will finally make his Barcelona debut on November 20, 2021 Also in the last fortnight FIC HQ lost a very close friend waaay too young to this awful disease so we really are desperate to just draw a line under this year. So with a very heavy heart after 12 years we are forced to cancel our beloved Festival Internacional de Comedia de Barcelona!! We will instead now devote all our energy and focus into building the most exciting event possible for 2021 when hopefully we are all in a better place. I wish you all the very best Xmas however you spend it make it memorable and this New Year I think there has to be a real sense of change and in a Post Trump world maybe we can all get back to the very big issues of Climate Change and the rest but in a more humble way.

FIC'20 kicks is already proving to be a massive challenge as we seek to put in place a programme worthy of a festival who has fought all adversity since our very first edition back in 2008.
We were determined not to lose the debut Spanish tour of BLINDBOY LIVE PODCAST to the damn virus and better than that this phenomenon will now make what is one of the World's top Comedy (and so much more) Podcasts with over 1 million monthly listeners our massive headline show to close the festival on the Saturday of the 'December Puente' so we really couldn't have a more awesome finish and get ready to say feck off in style to 2020! We are still seeking to add some more massive names to once again complement the regular awesome core programme of grassroots comedy that once again will have its centrepiece Spain's premier comedy competition 9th BCN's Funniest FICer as part of the festival. Keep an eye on the inboxes for our newsletter with all the latest as the man would say, YURT!! And of course across our Social...
