‘Comedy has to change constantly, just like society’

Date:

Host ‘Showriano’ on Movistar Plus+, a program in which music and improvisation are present together with famous guests

Taking advantage of her great professional moment on both radio and television, comedian Eva Soriano (32 years old, Reus, Tarragona) returns to the small screen with ‘Showriano’, a Movistar Plus+ format (premiering on Wednesday, March 1), produced by El Terrat (The Mediapro Studio), which will receive its personal label and in which it will gather well-known guests every week on a set that has been transformed into a nightclub, where there will be no lack of improvisation, humor and music, together with a piano. The presenter is taking on her second professional solo challenge after ‘La noche D’ on TVE.

How did you become convinced to present this project?

They gave me carte blanche. As the name of the program itself indicates, the idea was developed by El Terrat, Movistar Plus+ and me. In this format there is a lot of me. I like entertainment and when they told me I wanted to do it I said of course.

-How are we going to notice his seal?

–To begin with, the name is already a statement of intent. No one can present the program except me, because then it would be great. I am part of the whole equipment and the conception of space. I feel great because they consult and ask me, and that doesn’t always happen. Here’s a proposal where they told me this was made for me, to have a good time. It’s like the most expensive prom in history.

–We see him singing in all the programs he presents. Do you have that thorn in the fact that you haven’t devoted yourself to music?

I am a frustrated singer. All part of the frustration. I sing in all the productions I do, both in the theater and on the radio. I do it out of love. I am not a professional singer, but all productions will be from the program, so that it is the common thread for the viewers.

–Is it more complicated to create humor and comedy through music?

It’s complicated, it’s insane and it’s crazy. What do we do? Also. There’s a part of the show that’s going to be improvised, and that’s totally real. We won’t know the story that the people who want us to make a song that suits them are going to bring us. I think that’s the basis of comedy. Something improvised that turns out to be good is the host and incredible, everyone celebrates it, but sometimes it also turns out to be rubbish. Failure is also the basis of comedy. In the risk is the adventure and improvisation is what it has.

Do you have any tricks in case you go blank during an improv?

– In short, the output that never fails me is an assonant rhyme with pot, cunt or something like that. There are certain tools that you know will make you laugh. If I see myself between a rock and a hard place, I’m going to use them.

–It is your second television project after ‘La noche D’ (TVE). Do you feel you have learned to present such a great show?

-Yes and no. ‘La noche D’ helped me get to know myself as a professional and to know what I like and what I don’t like. And it was, above all, a school. However, ‘Showriano’ has an additional risk, which is that it is a whole project of mine, which I am on top of and have actively participated in. There are some extra nerves that I didn’t have on TVE. And here I have a responsibility that I didn’t have in other programs.

–He debuted on a general channel, where the battle for the audience is more vicious. Is it better to work on a payment platform without such a high data pressure?

– I think almost all my colleagues will agree that we cannot work with numbers. It is not mathematical science. The numbers are what they are, and of course we have to accept the public, but you can’t think that way for people to see it, because in the end you kill creativity, which is the art of this business. I’m not in favor of giving too much importance to the audience because I would do things to please and that’s not good because it puts you in a dynamic that leaves you without personality.

– It closed last year without stopping chain projects. Do you take advantage of your good moment?

–My biggest problem is that I like almost everything I do. Every project I do compensates me in some way. If you start with a little enthusiasm, you always work better. But it’s true, I’m not going to deny it, there are days when I get exhausted. That I take a nap later and move on? Also fine. I think you should take advantage of the good times, without going crazy, because there is a point of mental health that you have to take care of. I see it as a long distance flight in which you have to be there and train more and more, but taking into account what you like.

–Josema Yuste complained that she could no longer joke with homosexuals. Do you think humor should be moving forward or be boundless territory?

–As a comedian you cannot set subjective boundaries. What we end up doing is humor from our experiences and we live in a society. There is a rating point for your person that must be constant. Just as I’m saying this now, I can skate tomorrow because I’m human, as Chenoa would say. I see comedy as something that has to change constantly, just like society does. If it changes, your speech should evolve too. As an individual I have to do a job in which I have to grow.
