Eva Soriano to Close CajaCanarias Foundation’s Series on Women in Comedy

The CajaCanarias Foundation concludes its series on female comedy, You "Laugh" Like a Girl, this Friday with a performance of Disfrutona by comedian Eva Soriano. The show begins at 8:00 p.m. at the foundation’s headquarters in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and tickets are available on their official website.

Beyond the entertainment, this event wraps up a forum dedicated to discussing the structural challenges women face in the Spanish comedy industry. The series has highlighted critical issues such as job insecurity, the gender pay gap, and age discrimination, while also questioning how production structures often perpetuate sexist stereotypes. Ultimately, the initiative aimed to build professional support networks that empower female comedians to explore topics often ignored by traditional comedy.

Eva Soriano was chosen to close the series due to her established career in the media. With a strong background in performing arts, acting, and musical theater, she has become a prominent voice in radio and television. Her rise from the stand-up circuit to major television shows reflects a shift in Spanish comedy, where personal expression and irony are increasingly replacing traditional formats.

In Disfrutona, Soriano uses the absurd and everyday life to offer a humorous look at the world. Her performance serves as the final act of a program that has worked to bring greater visibility to women in comedy—a field that, despite its growth, still faces significant hurdles regarding representation and working conditions.
