Mari¿qué?

Stand-up by La Pedro Ese, a monologue about growing up as « the sissy » of a village in La Mancha and then moving to Madrid to make a living as a provincial actor.

« Mari¿qué? » is a stand-up comedy monologue in which La Pedro Ese revisits, with direct humour and no filter, his childhood in a village in La Mancha. The show is built on real stories and anecdotes in which the protagonist recounts what it was like to feel different in his neighbourhood and how he had to live with the village gossip.

The account then jumps to Madrid, where the narrator discovers the comic situations his life poses as an actor arriving from the provinces. The proposal combines reflection and wry humour: it speaks of what hurts with a light tone and laughs both at the narrator himself and at his surroundings.

The production is designed for anyone who has ever felt out of place, but also for audiences looking for a monologue of acidic humour. It is staged at La Parroquia del Humor, in Madrid, in a session of around sixty minutes.
