Actor, director and founder of The Chanclettes, the most classic and unleavened cabaret company in Barcelona, ​​which this month premieres its show '#dputucool' at the Luchana Theaters in Madrid.

How is a 'sketch' born? It almost always comes from two other people's ideas that come together. We have a sketch that is a political burlesque . On the one hand there is the art of the nude and on the other, the denunciation of politics. The purpose, in the end, is always the same, to show the inconsistencies of our world. And there are many numbers that do not work, that do not come to be funny? We do before the public, we try everything. And still, there are things that don't work. The theater is not a safe investment, so we devote ourselves to the wayward sheep. If it were safe, it would be the banks that would do theater. But look, if I see that there is a sketch that does not work, kick and something else. Do you discard ideas because they realize that they seem vulgar? Let's see how I explain it: Belén Esteban does not appear in our show. With all due respect I say so. I do not throw myself at the carnaza. On the other hand, you have to get them to understand you. Humor is like a wave, you can't catch it too soon or too late. You don't want to be vulgar but you have to be careful that your jokes go too far ahead and nobody takes them. We tend a little to inbreeding, we are in our LGTBI world and I know we run the risk of speaking for ourselves. Well, we have also had many yayas in the audience . Have you felt bad about being cruel on stage very often? It happens. Not much, because we try not to make a mockery, but it can happen to you. Since you were talking about the LGTBI world, do you believe that current social acceptance is fragile or is it already definitive? That it is fragile we all know and see it every day. But I also know that the way things have changed is admirable. I see it even in the relationship with my parents. If I tell my mother tomorrow that I have fallen in love and that I am marrying a boy, I think she is going crazy happy. Do you find many homophobic impertinences in the street? Some, but I laugh. Before it was something else: I remember a performance in a town in Vallés, the audience was all about old people who didn't even know what a drag was . And then, some skins appeared and they threw us out of everything.The world is full of gays of their age who ended up disenchanted with the great night spree and easy flirting. There is some consumerism a little hard ... I have also been very calm in recent years. And that I started late. My first sexual relationship was at 23. I tried my first alcoholic drink at 27. I thought that no one in Spain had ever linked sober. Flirting sober is the best beast there is. But don't forget the nose clips. Well, they are things you learn with, just like the shows that fail. We have had shows that went wrong, that ruined us. Well, now I think about it and where I learned something really was in those failures. For example? I learned not to lose the house by betting everything on a show. Will they do in Madrid the 'sketch' in which they come out with a bra-stellar? Instead of an outburst , there is another image that, in the background, appeals to something very similar. THE LAST QUESTION: What use do you give to the heels? I take them to the theater premieres, to a party. And one Christmas I took them to my parents' house. He was wearing a jacket and tie and, below, heels. More than anything, to annoy my brother, who is the top of the family and that night he had to look at me from the bottom up.
