Ya te lo dijo tu madre

Himar Armas and Jorge Santos present a stand-up monologue about the phrases mothers repeat to their children from childhood onwards. It is a show of humour with affection and the occasional reproach, aimed at anyone who recognises themselves in those warnings.

Himar Armas and Jorge Santos share the stage in this stand-up monologue, in which they wryly go over the advice, warnings and comments their mothers have passed on to them over the years. The show is built on situations audiences tend to recognise, whether from having said them or having heard them, and turns them into the starting point for close, familiar humour.

The tone blends banter with affection towards maternal figures and some jibes aimed at the performers themselves. The journey is also emotional: the underlying idea is that, as time passes, mothers end up being right, though it is best not to say so out loud.

Before arriving in Madrid, Himar Armas and Jorge Santos have performed at numerous theatres across Spain with shows such as Generación Tuenti and Los 30 son los nuevos... The show is staged at Teatro Soho Madrid, a venue that mainly hosts comedy shows and stand-up monologues, and is particularly suited to anyone who wants to laugh at their own family and its habits.
