A conversation with two of Madrid’s leading English-language comedians. Xavi Jallois is from Chile, Abdullah Ozturk is from Turkey, and together they tour a split-hour stand-up show exploring what it means to arrive in Spain and feel like an outsider. They talk about learning to be funny in a new language, finding community in Madrid’s growing comedy scene, and why humour often begins where frustration lives. We also discuss touring logistics, small venues, audience differences across the country, and the joy of shared laughter when you have lived between cultures.

Included:

• How the show We Are Not From Here began

• The Madrid Comedy Lab scene

• Performing comedy in your second or third language

• What it feels like to be new, foreign or misplaced

• Turning culture shock into material

• Touring across Spain and audience reactions
