Aaaaahhh!! September a moment of new beginnings, time to reflect, recharged and more guapisimo after the Summer beachy happy times. While this writers tan has suffered not having seen a beach in weeks we are showing some serious  results for our summer toil and am super excited to be opening the 6th Festival internacional de Comedia de Barcelona (now practically España) this month.

Read on for much news and innovation…

FUNNIEST FICER COMPETITION LATEST:  Madrid - The distraction of summer has made life difficult in Madrid and the amount of participants is less than expected and ultimately not enough for the process as we saw fit. We have decided to go straight to a final on September 29 and turn the scheduled ‘heats’ in Rastro Bar (tonight Sept 12!!) and the Irish Rover (Sept 19) into Open Mic nights with a Wild card entry to the final available should anyone shine and wish to take part. So not as planned but it is something of a work in progress and we are blaming the proximity to the Spanish August, so lessons learned. In the meantime the Madrid amateur comedian standard has been set by the lovely Ana Bottles and should no one produce better we may ask her to represent in Barcelona so your Madrid Needs You!!

Barcelona with the benefit of last year’s experience is raring to go and if anything it looks like we may have to add a heat there. We are certain that people are stalling before applying but we are getting close to filling the 3 heats already. So if you have a preferred date then it might be time to get on it!!

LOGAN MURRAY WORKSHOPS:

Comedy - 4-6 October: Just 4 of these left that means still one 5% off discounted place

Public Speaking – October 7: We warned that this would catch fire and it has with just 3 of the 16 places left this morning. We got a amazing venue for the workshop in the big room in Casa Murcia. The focus of this highly coveted course is physical presence and Logan requested a room with ample space – Got a great one! And super centrally located at Bailen 102

NEW LANGUAGES!! Our 6th edition will have shows now in 6 languages with the addition of French language making it a monster of multilingualism. And they are no ordinary shows everyone are award winning cracks in their respective language

Marcus Brigstocke/Tony Law/Howard Marks
– English

David Broncano  – Spanish (a lot more to come, details manaña!!!!)

Fem Riure All star show - Catalan

Nikolay Lukinsky – Russian

Marlon Kicken – Dutch

And the latest addition FRENCH!!!

Quebec-ian bilingual comedy superstar Mike Ward. One of the biggest stars in Canada in both languages, he sold 135,000 tickets on his most recent tour (French show), a man whose last 2 DVD´s have gone platinum.

An incredible line up of international comedy talent!

TONY LAW - 'Total Nonsense / Nonsense Overdrive'

Valencia Sept 26 – Barcelona Sept 27 – Madrid Sept 28

We have hosted some amazing comedy shows over the years in Spain right up to the great Rich Hall shows last year. And I have never been as excited about a comedy show as this one. He is the comic of the moment and we will have his multiple award winning and his latest critically acclaimed, fresh from Edinburgh show sandwiched into one blistering hour and a half of comedy. To celebrate we are leaving all tickets in ALL our Physical outlets in Madrid and BCN at just €15!!! and online at €16 to cover booking fee.

With the nasty 21% included it is as good as we can do and hope you can join us to get this festival off with a Bang… can´t wait!

Please keep sharing and spreading the word and giggles, much fun beckons!!
