Lara Ricote
Lara is a small Mexican-Spanish-American stand up comedian living, studying and performing comedy and improv in Amsterdam. She's a guiltless and funky storyteller who often gets political in her jokes. You probably won’t notice though, since she just slips it in–in a very innocent and non-rapey way. Lara's been performing in both English and Spanish across Europe for the past three years, and just spent a half a year doing so in South America. Her comedy touches on being a latinx with identity issues, her debacle with womanhood, and constant questions about and around dealing with having a (dis)ability.
