tribute to humor

Nor is it easy to make gestural humor and fill theaters over 40 years as it has done tricycle. The Catalan trio formed by Joan Gràcia, Carles Sans and Paco Mir he was received with the entire theater on its feet. Paco Mir was the one who spoke the most of the three. “Humor is the poor brother of art. It is so difficult to do and it receives so few awards!” lamented Mir, who seemed very loose and funny. The same is that something of Carles Sans has rubbed off on him, who now works as a monologist and is the only one who is still active on the stage. “I share the award with the public that has never failed us”, said Sans, who suggested the possibility of creating “a ministry of humor that would guarantee a daily dose of laughter, but a good one”. Joan Gràcia, the most sparing in words, put the public in his pocket by acknowledging: “Thanks to them -he said referring to his colleagues- and to the SGAE I have grown… up to 103 kilos. I must confess that I don’t like the theater What I like is eating and thanks to the tours I have enjoyed the best delicacies”.
