¡Los 90 sí que molan! with Aileen Celeste at La Off Barcelona
From July 24 to August 14.
At La Off Barcelona they offer you a direct ticket to the decade of Tamagotchis, folders covered with SuperPop photos, and tapes rewound with a Bic pen. ¡Los 90 sí que molan! is an explosion of nostalgia designed for today's adults to forget their responsibilities for a night and enjoy a trip to "the coolest decade in history." Between hits by the Spice Girls or Estopa, series like Doraemon or Compañeros, and shared traumas about nineties technology, this monologue proposes an essential encounter to remember how we survived an era without WiFi.
Girls' Night Out with Sil de Castro at Eixample Teatre
From July 25 to August 28.
At Eixample Teatre, you can see another of the most refreshing monologues in Barcelona for the summer. After the resounding success of Calladitas estáis más guapas (You're prettier when you're quiet), comedian Sil de Castro returns with a wild, fresh, and unfiltered format: Noche de chicas (Girls' Night Out). This show is a party that transforms the auditorium into a pressure-free territory to laugh, de-stress, and celebrate complicity among women.
Los hijos, el club de los malos padres (The Children, the Club of Bad Parents) with Andrés Torres at Teatreneu
From July 25 to November 28.
Raising four children and not losing your mind in the attempt is the starting point of this acclaimed monologue by Andrés Torres, which can be seen at Teatreneu. The comedian reflects, with his close and customary style, on how objects used in childhood become completely useless when adolescence arrives. It is a hilarious, tender, and very real portrait of the stages of parenthood that will make parents feel identified (and children too!).
Como pasar de los 60 sin morir en el intento (How to get past 60 without dying trying) with Albert Boira at Teatre Muntaner
Single date: August 15.
Albert Boira arrives at Teatre Muntaner to demonstrate that getting older is the perfect excuse to burst out laughing. The comedian presents intelligent, direct, and vitalistic humor to review those small moments when life starts treating you with "usted" (the formal "you") or they offer you a seat on the bus. A stand-up show that reminds us that age only matters to cheese or good wine, and that there is no better antidote against the passage of time than knowing how to laugh at oneself.
Viejóvenes (Old-Youngs) with Gabriel Córdoba and Raquel Ramos at Teatreneu
From July 25 to September 26.
Are you 20 years old but prefer to stay home on Saturday to "make the most of Sunday"? Or are you almost 40 and still hooked on Nintendo? Congratulations: you are an "old-young." Gabriel Córdoba and Raquel Ramos join forces at Teatreneu to present a hilarious analysis of that generation trapped in no man's land. A stand-up comedy face-off full of gags for all those who don't quite fit into the codes of their biological age.
Guilty with Robert Chacón at La Off Barcelona
From July 25 to August 8.
Guilty returns to La Off Barcelona for the second consecutive season. This show, directed by J. René Guerra and performed by Robert Chacón, is a humorous review of our small daily miseries. Through three hilarious characters (a pathological latecomer, a debtor trapped in economic troubles, and a professional "hater" who criticizes absolutely everything), the play is a satire on human flaws. A biting and incisive monologue that invites us to laugh at our own "guilts."
Between 90s traumas, generational battles, and age crises, this summer Barcelona offers the ideal plan to escape the heat and enjoy a good session of laughter and complicity. Turn off your phone and let the show begin.
