    Teatro Off Latina

    Calle Mancebos 4. La Latina, Madrid

    Rachel's Spanish comedy show is now in Madrid!

    Having been labeled as both "abnormal" and "bad" ("mala") more than once in her life, comedian Rachel Arieff draws on these epithets to create the title of her new Spanish-language show: ANORMALA.

    En ANORMALA, Rachel plays with the idea of what constitutes a "good" or "bad" woman.

    A versatile artist, she rounds out the show with original songs with elegant titles like "Asshole," "You Gave Me Crabs" and "Pervert on the Nude Beach."

    Rooted in the stand-up comedy scenes of New York and Los Angeles, Rachel Arieff is an experienced trilingual comedian (English, Spanish, Catalan). An American who has lived in Barcelona for over 20 years, she made a name for herself in Spain through her numerous Spanish-language monologues that lead her to appear on Paramount Comedy, and her legendary Anti-Karaoke parties.

    "The funniest woman in Barcelona."

    Off the charts

    Rachel is an extraordinary person, and her show is even more so. No one should miss it. She has great humor; I've been following her for years and years, and she never ceases to amaze me and make me laugh. In fact, the more you get to know her, the more you enjoy her show… Thank you, Raquel… we love you.

    Brilliant, brutal, an enormous intelligence

    Simply a brilliant, brutal monologue, delivered with tremendous comedic intelligence, where the irreverent humor connects us spontaneously and fascinatingly. I haven't laughed so much and so well in ages! Rachel is an amazing artist! Thank you for existing.

    A very fun time

    Anormala…a wonderful, eccentric, colorful, hilarious personality. We had a really fun time, with side-splitting songs. Abnormal is like that neighbor across the street with whom you end up feeling empowered, having a few glasses of wine and solving the world's problems. Don't miss it!!!! Highly, highly recommended!!!

  • Pure personality

    Rachel Arieff's show is pure personality, a spectacle unlike anything else, oozing authenticity from every pore. There are no copied formulas or prefabricated characters here: everything comes from the gut. Funny, chaotic, intelligent, biting, intimate, political… it all comes together in an hour that flies by. You laugh, you feel uncomfortable, you think… and you laugh again. If you want to see something truly original, with its own voice and without fear, don't hesitate for a second: You have to see "Anormala."

    Great

    I had a fantastic time with this monologue. Lots of laughs, it flies by. Fran really connects with the audience. I won't say any more so you'll be encouraged to discover it for yourself; it's well worth seeing the wonderful show woman Rachel Arieff in action.

    Hysterical laughter

    You've never seen anything like it, that's guaranteed. Hysterical laughter is also guaranteed. Rachel Arieff is our favorite freak.

    Oh, and watch out for who gives you crabs tonight. It might be the last person you expect…

  • Una maravilla

    A wonderful monologue! I'd seen others by this artist before, but with this show, Rachel has definitely outdone herself! Highly recommended!

    -Pedro Luján

    You're going to be blown away

    Politically incorrect humor with doses of irony and daring—very funny. Plus, the added bonus of improvised audience interaction and songs with lyrics you've never heard before that will blow your mind!

    Highly recommended!!

    -Manuel Montes G.

    A very fun time

    "Anormala" is unique, brilliant, hilarious, and fantastic. You won't see anything like it. Rachel is iconic.
