With Raquel Maldonado and Eliana La Casa!
The show is 100% performed in Spanish
Comediantes Raquel Maldonado de Venezuela (campeones de béisbol) y Eliana La Casa de Argentina (subcampeones de fútbol y campeones de todo lo demás).
Dos mujeres hablando de aquello de lo que no tienen ni idea. Y esta vez, ustedes también van a demostrar cuánto no saben. Nadie sale del show sabiendo más de deportes. Pero sí sale sabiendo cosas que hubiera preferido no saber.
Eliana La Casa trae su comedia filosa y sin filtros, destacada en Comedy Central Latinoamérica y BBC Radio 4, elegida Mejor Comediante de Stand-Up de Chicago por el Chicago Reader, y con la dosis justa de arrogancia argentina que uno esperaría de alguien que realmente se la cree.
Raquel Maldonado es una comediante venezolana experta en convertir malas decisiones en stand-up. Con un estilo ácido, irónico y profundamente honesto, habla de relaciones, cultura, expectativas sociales y todo eso que uno debería procesar en terapia… pero mejor lo dice en un micrófono. Se ha presentado en múltiples ciudades de Estados Unidos, Canadá y Latinoamérica, compartiendo escenario con reconocidos comediantes de la escena hispana.
Buy ahead and save, tickets $25 online, $30 at the door.
