Milagros y otras mentiras

Stand-up and comedy at La Escalera de Jacob in Madrid, with a monologue of humour and magic that tests the audience's credulity when faced with superstitions and impossible wishes.

Milagros y otras mentiras is presented as a comedy show in which a narrator who calls himself an elegant charlatan sets out to demonstrate just how much we deceive ourselves. The starting point is an everyday one: we make a wish on a shooting star and keep waiting for it to come true even when it turns out to be an aeroplane.

On stage, the production combines unexpected situations, deceptions and magic tricks with a comic take on popular beliefs such as lucky numbers, black cats and superstitions in general. The central idea is that so-called miracles do not come from outside but are manufactured by ourselves, and the show invites the audience to question what they believe they see and understand.

It is a proposal designed for those who enjoy illusion-based humour and stand-up with a clear through-line, in a venue in the Lavapiés district.
