Hello Catalanof*ckers!

First of all: Do you know how much I love and appreciate you? Thank you so much for tolerating my obnoxious ass all these years and not deporting me! 🥰

Second: Did you know that I've spent years preparing shows entirely in Catalan?

The first one was ready to go in 2020. I had written an hour-long monologue in Catalan, then I'd spent an entire year memorizing it. I met with a producer to set it up in a theater. We mentioned this scary new virus that was spreading everywhere. A few days later, everything went into lockdown, and the show never happened.

For the next few years, since I couldn't work as a performer, I became an online English teacher for kids in Asia. I had a blast! I did that for the next 4 years, until I went back to performing last year. (I still do it a few hours a week because I love the kids so much. ❤️)

By this time, the Catalan show I had written was outdated. So I threw it in the trash and went back to writing a new show, which is a work in progress that I will be showing to an audience for the first time on March 13th in Barcelona.

I hope you enjoy seeing Catalonia from the strange, humorous, sometimes irreverent perspective of an immigrant from the U.S.A. -- a place that is, in many ways, the opposite of Catalonia, my new and beloved home. Visca Catalunya!
