Comedian Kike Pérez Brings Social Commentary to La Laguna with New Show 'HUMOr'
Comedian Kike Pérez brings his social commentary show HUMOr to La Laguna’s Teatro Unión Tejina this Saturday, marking two decades of his career with a performance that explores modern digital tensions and disinformation.
Tenerife’s cultural scene is once again turning to comedy as a way to examine society. As part of the cultural programming in La Laguna, the Teatro Unión Tejina will host comedian Kike Pérez this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. as part of his regional tour. Tickets for the show, titled HUMOr, are available via Tomaticket and celebrate the performer’s twenty-year career.
More than just entertainment, the show serves as a critical look at modern life. The Lanzarote-born comedian uses his monologue to explore today’s tensions, focusing on how digital environments and the fragility of information shape our reality. By sharing his own sense of generational disillusionment, Pérez aims to tackle issues like fake news and disinformation through a shared experience with his audience.
This performance is part of a growing trend in the Canary Islands that treats stand-up comedy as a form of social commentary. Pérez’s appearance in La Laguna coincides with his involvement in the Reislas festival, which brings together top Canarian comedians like Aarón Gómez, Omayra Cazorla, Darío López, Petite Lorena, Yésica Trujillo, and Cristito. The success of these festivals highlights the strength of the islands' entertainment industry, where humor has become a powerful way to address the concerns of a fast-paced, unpredictable world.
