El DESmartes

A weekly open mic stand-up session at Secreto in Barcelona, where professional comedians and emerging talents test new material in front of the audience.

El DESmartes is an open mic comedy night: each week, the stage is opened to established comedians and new voices presenting jokes and routines still being tested. The register is stand-up, with direct, uncensored humour, and the programme changes depending on who takes the microphone at each performance.

The format is spontaneous and informal, with an unpredictable dynamic, aimed at anyone who wants to swap Tuesday for a night of laughter. During the session there is food and drink service, which can be consumed before, during and after the show.

The recommended audience is over 16; children must attend accompanied by a responsible adult. The production is by Los Otros and is staged at the Secreto venue on Calle Balmes in Barcelona. Seats are not numbered and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
