Comedian Tamer Kattan shares his insights on the growing Barcelona Fringe comedy scene and his solo show ‘An Alien from New York.’ As he prepares for the first-ever Barcelona Fringe, he talks about the journey, the comedy scene, and more.
1. Why are you excited about doing the first-ever Barcelona Fringe?
I’ve been in Europe for four years, and the English-speaking comedy scene has grown tremendously. The stages are great, the comedy is creative, edgy, and smart, and the audiences are eager to hear from comedians talking about life in Europe, rather than from comedians in the US or UK. It’s an incredibly inspiring time to be a comedian here. We aren’t just part of the scene—we, along with the fans, are building it.
