Galder Varas: This isn’t a test

I’m sorry to say, much to my regret, that you’ve been misled right from the very premise. This really is a test. In this monologue—half written, half improvised—Galder Varas will try out new jokes, segments, and interactive ideas for the first time on stage, to assess whether to include them in a new show.

If you’re drawn to the concept, you’ll witness a comedian’s relentless struggle to earn your laughter and approval without the safety net provided by tried-and-true material. It’s a way to get to the very heart of the art of stand-up comedy: the artist seeking in the audience’s gaze the attention and affection they never received at some point in their life.
