Soy Mujer Y Hago Show

Catalina Guzmán

Comedy Dynamics · Album · 2018

Mousy deadpan stand-up on terrible romances and feminine expectations.

Catalina Guzmán sets up an impossible trade-off for prospective partners: you can date someone who looks immaculate, or you can date someone who is calm, but you cannot have both. Beneath an intentionally mousy demeanor, she works through the absurd labor women perform just to appear presentable, treating misery as the baseline of modern dating.

Recorded live before five hundred people in Bogotá, the thirty-five-minute set was released as an audio album by Comedy Dynamics in April 2018. Guzmán was already a fixture in the Colombian stand-up circuit, having trained under Gonzalo Valderrama and coordinated the Me Muero de la R101 comedy club in Bogotá alongside appearances on Comedy Central Latin America.

Much of the material picks apart the physical discomfort of everyday grooming, from tormenting underwear to the hollow promises of television commercials, alongside an inventory of past boyfriends she categorizes as weirdos and mama’s boys. She keeps her delivery hesitant and polite, letting the bleakest lines arrive without warning.
