Seville resolves in the next February a wide range of plans, which face the dawn of the year based on dance, music and, as we will occupy these lines, humor. The Andalusian Festival of Alternative Comedy (FACA) returns to Seville to celebrate its fourth edition.
The one that was born from PCR Comedy, the monthly show created by Pabloshurmano and Suricato Capitán, has already become an ambitious event that will take place over 12 hours and will receive more than 30 Andalusian comedians.
A major art, to spend time getting a few laughs from the hand of referents in this task. Thus, on Saturday, February 21 there will be comedy in various formats: monologues, impro, podcasts, workshops or the very crowded Trivial de Suso Cármerez, which always fills the Cuatro Gatos room.
One of the great novelties of this new edition is that it will take place at the Cartuja Center CITE from 12:00 noon.
The biggest event about humor in Andalusia, which finally takes care of giving a place to the artists in their land, will also include free activities and a market of artists and craftsmen and live music.
Discounted tickets for the biggest humor event in Andalusia
From FACA they have devised a formula that consists of reserving tickets by activities with greater discounts the more activities are included. In other words:
- If you book 2 activities, your ticket will have a 10% discount.
- 3 activities: 15% discount.
- 4 activities: 20% discount.
- And 5 activities: 25% discount.
From the CITE website the discount will be applied to the tickets depending on the selected activities. There are tickets from 8 € per person.
