In 2018 she made her television debut and, less than five years later, she leads the urgent assault on the

mainstream

of Spanish comics.

Eva Soriano

(Reus, 1990)

has just premiered on Movistar a program with her name (

Showriano

)

and to her all-terrain measure: she presents, sings, dances, acts and, of course, does comedy.

She combines it with hosting the daily morning show on Europa FM, crossfit and, according to her, leading the life of a non-hermit thirty-year-old.

"I take a fat nap on Fridays and flirt, or something else, with leisure", she laughs.

They call you 'the bad humor' and if you'll excuse me, that's a horrible nickname.

You see.

I don't know who gave it to me or why it made a fortune, but the idea of ​​going badass horrifies me quite a bit.

I'm a care bear!

What happens is that I am a very ironic loving bear, very acid and in the end you have that point of 'fuck with this girl'.

It's like the candy that you see there, all sweet, but you take a bite of it and it's super sour: "Damn, it's delicious, but it hurts me at the same time."

The definition of my person would be like a sour sweet, that she is rich and at the same time makes you cry.

Let's see if it triumphs: Eva Soriano, the sour candy of humor.

Much better than that of the malota.

It is that, in addition, since you are square it seems that you are going around giving hosts.

No way!

I use absolutely zero units of my force for evil.

I only use my strength because I am a person who needs to vent and I have found in sports a place where I can feel like I am Rocky Balboa, but nothing is further from reality.

I am super peaceful.

What a party you have thrown with the excuse of the program.

Let's see, it's that I'm very involved during the week because I can't go out at night, I can't do anything because I get up very early [he presents

Cuerpos Especiales

, on Europa FM, from 7 to 10 in the morning].

So the only excuse I had to have some leisure, recreation and fun was to throw myself the party.

And that's what I've done with

Showriano

: I've set up a disco for myself.

How do you live having a 'morning' with thirty-somethings?

You're screwing up your youth.

If you tell me like that, it's going to give me a downturn that when this interview comes out I'll appear on the radio and resign [laughs].

I think everything has its time.

I wish I hated

morning

because it would help me make a decision and stop getting up early, but I'm passionate about it, I have a great time and it's a very good school.

I am fast precisely because I have a gym every day where I exercise my brain and my neurons are schizophrenic all the time: "We need a joke and we need it now."

That need and that speed that requires a

morning

They have settled in me.

It is still strange to say this considering that my career is not very long, but I am at my best, on a comedic level I am at a very good level and it is partly thanks to the radio.

Okay, I'll assume it's worth the sacrifice.

It's just that I keep going out, I don't know who I'm trying to fool.

On weekends I go out because I am a very social person, I need people to nourish me, to have stories to tell.

If I leave that social part just to work, work and work, there would come a point in which the brain would not give me anything because it would have nothing to tell.

I'm a firm advocate of balance: if you work hard all week, you have to have a little picnic area where you can get out of control and on Sunday you're shit, but happy shit.

In just over four years, you've gone from almost unknown to having a show named after you.

What happened?

I know that mine is not very unusual.

They don't usually give you a program made for you, tailored to your needs, at 32 years of age.

Also, I have a very short career: I did not appear on television until 2018, but I have worked a lot, I have known many places, many formats and many facets of myself.

I have had an accelerated evolution, but quite logical: the years have compacted, but I have done everything that a growing comedian usually does.

Let's hope that the descent is not as fast, because I was going to hit a good host against the wall.

You act, you sing, you present, you do monologues... How many things does a comedian have to do to be given a chance?

There is a demand higher than that of men, it is evident.

In comics there is always an extra effort, we have to show more.

And not only show more, but put up with it: "Okay, are you good? Well, you have to be good all the time."

However, a comedian can screw up at any given moment, something can happen to him and he continues with his career.

We, I don't know if all my colleagues will agree but it's my feeling, we live with the tension of not being able to fail even once.

I always have to be the best, I have to always be super fit on a comic level, be fast, be eloquent, be informed... Because the first bad day you're going to shit.

I think that the scenario is changing a bit, but historically we have always had to prove more and it has always been questioned if we are valid to do comedy.

It is a dynamic that continues to drag on, although we are getting better.

It's wonderful to see that there are already tons of comedians without having to reaffirm that we are funny all the time, but until three or four years ago practically all the presenters were men.

Now that flirting with the world of women has begun, it has been seen that, obviously, we can do the same or even better.

That humor does not understand gender is quite obvious.

'Aunts are not funny' is a basic phrase in the brother-in-law's manual.

Of course, and it has not disappeared because the scenario has changed relatively recently.

When I started in comedy, it was very rare that a program allowed itself to have two comedians;

they had one to cover the fee.

In the castings I found that, perhaps, the two best comedians were two girls and even so they continued to take only one.

It was always: "Okay, you have to have an aunt, but as long as we have one, that's it."

So, it has been much more complicated for us to reach important positions and now that we have arrived we have to validate it all the time: "I am here because I work hard, I am good and I am valid".

But it is that even so, I keep finding myself with a ton of comments that guys don't receive about my grace or my merits.

There is a part of society that still believes that women are not funny and continues to express it without shame.

You are constantly in a constant fight to prove that the position you have achieved is the right one for you.

In fact, this arrival of comedians in the mainstream media occurs as a reaction to the fact that many have managed to succeed by setting it up on their own, with podcasts or performances.

Exact.

I am a room, theater, and bar comedian, and I became very strong in

stand up comedy,

because I think it's what I'm best at.

I am very good on stage, because I have a lot of callous.

And it is true that the first audiovisual opportunities that came to me were because people saw me perform and called me to try it out.

In the end, what I was doing was showing how good I am at work, how well I do comedy, how inspired I am when given an opportunity.

Other colleagues of mine have worked in a different way: "Okay, you don't want to give me a space, well, I'm going to set up my site because I have an audience and you're going to end up coming looking for me."

And they've done great with projects carried out with three paperclips and two toothpicks because they're comic bits.

There were so many people wanting to hear what comedians have to say.

Have fellow comedians been supportive of this change?

There I no longer know how to analyze you beyond what I have experienced: I have been with colleagues who at no time have expressed rejection of comedians or female comedy.

What happens is that, since everything was set up like this by default, there was no intention of change in them either because it is true that they were fine.

There will be someone who thinks that aunts are not funny, but most are not.

That's just how things were and there is nothing more comfortable and simpler than following a dynamic instead of wondering why something works this way.

You can't look for blame in something like this, what you have to do is give opportunities to everyone.

It cannot be that, in comedy and in any vital aspect, we only have the perspective of middle-aged men,

because in the end we only show the opinion of a totally biased part of the population.

We must open the spectrum so that everyone has a place.

If you don't like that kind of speech, but I do feel reflected, bad luck.

I too, as a public, also have the right to feel represented.

Are there jokes only for women?

There are many things that, due to biological issues, a man cannot understand: if I talk about menstrual pain, no matter how hard I try to describe it accurately, there is a point where you cannot empathize with me because you have never had it.

I understand that, but I've also been listening to penis jokes all my life and nothing has happened.

In addition, a joke about menstruation can be perfectly funny to you because a joke is structured to reach the largest number of viewers.

I know that there is a point in which you are not going to empathize 100%, but you can still find it funny because it is a good joke.

And if the comedy is good, even if it involves another group, and you are not able to laugh because an aunt says so, let me tell you that you are a person who does not evolve and does not see beyond years and years of conventions.

From there,

I can't do anything anymore.

At 32 years old I have realized that there are people who will surely never get on my boat and accept themselves.

Do you have many

haters

?

Some, but I can't understand this world of hating.

I practice a lot that, if I don't like something, I don't consume it directly, but I don't understand that crush of I'm going to let you know in the most destructive way possible that I don't like your work, I'm going to hurt you and I'm going to tell you that you are a slut for talking about menstruation or what a bitch for talking about sex.

You don't know me, you don't know how I am, you don't know anything about me, how can you allow yourself to insult me ​​like that on a personal level?

I really don't understand these people, but I'm not going to try to convince them anymore.

As a comedian, you try to please as many people as possible, but there comes a point where you realize that when you develop a certain discourse or your humor is focused on certain things, there are people who lose it.

So good bye.

When did you say 'mom, I want to be an artist'?

I have always been an artist because I was already a very folkloric girl.

The thing is that he was always flirting with different disciplines.

When I was little I wanted to be a singer, they signed me up for singing, I have worked in orchestras, then I did Dramatic Art... I have been everything and nothing at the same time, a kind of

mocatriz

, like the song by Ojete Calor: model, singer and actress, because I also did fashion things.

I don't like to settle or be stagnant and feel like I'm not doing something that really excites me.

Since I was little I have been the soul of the party at my house and if there was someone sad, I would put on a flamenco dress and start singing.

I think it is due to affection, a way of attracting attention and looking for affection.

They told me "look, how cute the girl is" and it was a positive reinforcement.

I have developed my personality around that premise: I have to be funny to be liked.

This is so sad, huh, but it's true.

Now a lot of people love you, then.

It seems.

I saw a pretty heavy

change

with

Tu cara suena me

, that's when I went from

comedy

underground and niche shows like

Late Motiv

to general

prime time

with their crazy audiences.

It was a terrible host of reality and, apart from that, it coincided at a time when we took off our masks.

I went from going down the street without being recognized by the neighbor to being asked for photos and they kept stopping me.

I don't take popularity badly.

The people who approach do so with great affection and admiration and there is a point of ego there that we all like.

I'm not going to deny it, it makes me happy.

It is true that sometimes there is a more unpleasant episode because you may be having a bad day or someone approaches you in a less appropriate way, but it is not usual.

I have a

fandom

quite cool and I am super grateful to them because they make me have the impact that I have.

I am here for them.

Despite how well you've done, you accumulate a few program cancellations.

How do you deal with failure?

At first you have a hard time because you question your work: "Holy shit, they fired me because I'm not good."

But now I have understood how television works and there are times when, even if you do an excellent job, there are many things around you that have nothing to do with your worth or your job or your effort.

So, I take it with philosophy: "It has been tried with the greatest enthusiasm, it has been canceled and that's it, but I have done it the best I know how."

It doesn't usually make me bitter because if there is no TV, there is the radio;

If there is no radio and there is no TV, then to the theater.

My profession is so diversified, I do so many things and I like them all so much that I don't get overwhelmed because I always have a way out.

No one has died because a television program has finished.

You have to relativize things as much as possible because, if not,

in this profession you end up bitter, beating yourself up and having super destructive behaviors.

You have to give importance to the things they have and be the best professional you can be.

Spot.
