Comedy night in Gran Alacant brings international stand-up stars

Sharp punchlines, international perspectives and the kind of laughter that catches you off guard: this English-language comedy night in Gran Alacant is set to deliver exactly that, providing residents and visitors with the perfect night out.

A Costa Blanca comedy show in English: Hilarious musings from international talents

Taking place at Karaoke Feelings in Gran Alacant on the evening of Friday, May 8, this side-splitting comedy duo promises a fast-paced evening of standup. The programme features opener Andrew Pollen, who will get the crowd going with his hilarious routine about daily life and funny circumstances living in Alicante, followed by two standout comedians with global experience and very different comedic styles: Maria Shehata and Lisa Curry, both established performers on the international comedy circuit.

Maria Shehata, an Egyptian-American comedian based in London, is known for her quick wit and confident stage presence, with appearances on major platforms including Live at the Apollo and Comedy Central Live. Her comedy blends cultural observation with tightly written storytelling, making her a favourite with diverse audiences.

Taking the stage alongside her is Lisa Curry, a Los Angeles-based comedian and award-winning writer whose background spans television writing for networks such as NBC and Comedy Central. A former Second City Hollywood performer, she brings a more narrative-driven, improvisational energy to the stage, shaped by years of live performance and touring with major comics.

Together, the pair create a dynamic contrast that keeps the pace high and the material unpredictable. Expect a mix of personal stories and sharp social commentary in this English live show in one of Spain’s loveliest coastal towns.

The perfect night out for the whole family, and a whole lot of laughs

With its intimate venue and one-night-only format, this show offers something a little different for Gran Alacant’s nightlife scene. Whether you’re an expatriate, a visitor, or a resident looking for something beyond the usual weekend routine, this promises a night of world-class stand-up designed to be remembered long after the final laugh.

The event is organised by The Comedy Kiosk: Alicante, a local promoter known for bringing English-language comedy to audiences across the Costa Blanca.
