š¤°āMy Fabulous Fupa Chalupaā is Julie Belliveauās first solo show bringing together over 7 years of international stand-up experience. Itās a high-energy and uplifting ride filled with tales of early motherhood, IVF, turning 40, growing up Catholic, side-splitting health (sometimes mental) problems, moving to Spain and above all else, a hilarious celebration of lifeās ups and downs.

š©ø Madurez, evoluciĆ³n personal, crecimientoā¦ Son palabras a las que Ana LĆ³pez, a sus 3X aƱos, aĆŗn no ha sabido encontrarles significado. Por tanto, lo que podrĆ”s ver en TONTINA es a una charlatana, bufona y caricata (en ese orden) intentando hacerte reĆr con su peculiar sentido del humor, Ć”cido y negro.
šļø Vuelve El Open Del Clubhouse, un open mic en castellano (o catalĆ si prefereixes!) en el club de comedia mĆ”s guiri de Barna. Si quieres actuar, solo hay que llegar antes de las 18:25 para apuntarte. Y si quieres venir a ver el show, es GRATIS.
šŖAnd for our Russian-speaking friends, thereās a Sunday Bread show this weekend where you can see up-and-coming local talent, as well as visiting comedians, working on material in Russian.
