Tabú - Dani Alés

Stand-up by Dani Alés at Teatro Soho Madrid: a show of cynical, daring humour that crosses the limits of what is usually considered fair game for jokes, blending wit with acid reflections.

Dani Alés is the star of Tabú, a stand-up comedy show that delves into subjects one is, in principle, not supposed to joke about. The proposal is a rapid succession of witty one-liners, cynicism and moments of candour, with absurd situations and jokes that aim to engage the audience's intelligence.

The tone is free, hyperbolic and carefree, with original takes on risky subjects. On stage, the comedian delivers acid reflections and brilliant quips, with a command of the stage that sustains the register of the show. Among those who have praised his work are Goyo Jiménez, Ignatius Farray and El Mago Pop, and his own mother criticises him fondly.

The show is staged at Teatro Soho Madrid, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the capital, and is performed in Spanish. Its humour is direct and daring, aimed at those who enjoy comedy that tests red lines.
