LATEST: WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT REGINALD D. HUNTER HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED
TO MAY 16 2020 IN BARCELONA!!! (Working on new dates for Rich!)
The actual scene just outside Teatre Borras - Not good optics!
FIC'19 - 11th Edition Headline hopes go up in flames! Really regrettably due to the poor level of sales which literally stopped on the day when the rioting started right in front of the theatre on Pl. Urquinaona and they never picked up sufficiently and we have been forced to cancel.
it has been a situation reflected across theatres in Catalunya that have reported a 70% drop in sales through October and November and they never really got back on track.
So a collective decision was taken by all the interested parties in the gigs that it was better to postpone the shows to some new dates in 2020 and when hopefully politicians can start talking and things can get back to normal.
We will be in touch with all purchasers of the tickets for these original shows to offer refunds or deferrals to the new dates.
The decision was not taken lightly and I am sooo disappointed for the many who had bought their tickets and were looking forward to seeing these 2 legends live in Barcelona.
The comedians are disappointed and just when the festival hoped to really make a mark, it all changed with those absurd sentences!
ALL REFUNDS HAVE BY NOW BEEN ACTIONED AND SHOULD BE BACK IN YOUR CARDS IN TGHE NEDXT DAYS - SORRY FOR INCONVENIENCE :(

what 'they' say about FIC BCN...
OUR WORKSHOPS
'Without doubt the most transformative and hilarious 2 1/2 days of my life! Logan inspired everyone to create, grow and perform. Perform we did and brought the house down'.
- Tim Walker 'It's difficult to explain how in just two and a half days Logan was able to give nine complete rookies the skills and confidence to perform and make people laugh! It was simply a magical experience.' - Pete Smith |
FUNNIEST FICer"I always thought we should love each other and cooperate, instead of fighting. That's why I don't like competitions UNLESS I'M WINNING THEM, then they are a really cool thing. If you think you have what it takes, GET IN THE RING, MOTHERF*CKER, we'll be waiting for you! Bitch!"
- Josep Catalá 1st 2012 winner |

'I tip my fedora to ya. That was a stunning night of comedy...'
