MANUEL ÁNGEL REDONDO – EN VIVO
STAND UP COMEDY (EN ESPAÑOL)

Luego del estreno en Internet de sus dos más recientes especiales de comedia “Peores Verdades & Mejores Mentiras” (stand up puro) y “Hablando Sucio” (crowd work, que sale este noviembre), Manuel Ángel Redondo regresa a escena con una hora completamente nueva.

Un show cargado de material inédito, observaciones frescas, opiniones innecesarias y, como siempre, algo de interacción con extraños que pagan por exponerse públicamente.

Esta gira se llama “Manuel Ángel Redondo – En Vivo” porque es él. En vivo. Haciendo lo que más ama: hacerte reír.

SOBRE EL ARTISTA: Manuel Ángel Redondo es un comediante y comunicador venezolano principalmente conocido por sus proyectos online como el webshow de sátira política Pero Tenemos Patria, el documental Viviendo al Mínimo o el muy exitoso programa de entrevistas alcoholizadas Entregrados. Hizo radio exitosamente en su país durante 10 años, hasta que fue forzado a salir del aire por los organismos de censura del gobierno venezolano. Desde ese entonces, hace comedia en Internet y por el mundo, con presentaciones agotadas por toda Europa, Latinoamérica y EEUU.

IMPORTANTE: Este show es grabado y con la compra de tu entrada accedes a formar parte del mismo. El artista solo interactúa con personas que den su consentimiento y lo soliciten levantando la mano.

More than a comedy show — it’s your Spanish prep for the halftime show! A celebration of Spanglish language and culture, hosted by Titi (the aunt). Stand-up comedians and improvisers bring their funniest stories and characters as they put their faith — and their jokes — to the test at Titi’s casita party.

Based on one audience suggestion (a title of a show that has never been written), The Improvised Shakespeare Company® creates a brand new, fully improvised Shakespearean masterpiece right before your eyes.

Nothing has been planned out, rehearsed, or written.All of the dialogue is said for the first time, the characters are created as you watch, and if you’re ever wondering where the story is going…so are they! You’ve never seen the Bard like this before!

Songs N Scenes is a vibrant collision of live music and unscripted theater—a uniquely immersive show where no two nights are the same. Each performance begins with an original song from a featured guest musician. From there, a cast of top-tier improvisers spins scenes inspired by the mood, themes, lyrics, or energy of the song. As the evening unfolds, songs and scenes weave together in unexpected ways, creating a one-night-only tapestry of comedy, storytelling, and musical spontaneity. It’s a joyful, emotional, and unpredictable ride—equal parts concert, improv jam, and theatrical experiment.
