Comedy Shows in Madrid

Everyone needs a good laugh, so why not take a break from the non-stop party in this vibrant city to catch one of the many Madrid comedy shows?

Now obviously most comedy shows in Madrid are in Spanish (duh!), but you can always drop in on one as a way to practice the old Español and get a little window into what tickles the madrileño funny bone. Hint: it’s the same stuff that tickles yours. From improv to sketch comedy, little underground shows to major traveling performers, it’s possible to find a large variety of comedy shows in Madrid.

La Chocita del Loro (The Parrot Shack) on Calle Hermosilla is arguably the city’s most popular comedy club, with two rooms playing host to acts that perform in a variety of genres – even comedy magic! – but it’s by no means the only game in town.

Those looking for English language Madrid comedy shows need look no further than The Giggling Guiri, a traveling troupe that performs both in Madrid and in Barcelona. Comedians from all over the world join Guiri’s traveling showcases, which perform at venues all over town, including folks from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, and more.
