En Vivo Y En La Hierba
Comedy Dynamics · 2019 · 83 min
Petty grudges, tightfisted parents, and crude Argentine stand-up.
Released , on Comedy Dynamics.
Ezequiel Campa treats family dysfunction not as trauma to resolve, but as material to settle old scores. He recounts growing up under a mother whose depressive episodes dragged the household down with her, and a father whose cheapness meant having to share a childhood birthday party with an unrelated kid from down the block. There is no sentimental turn at the end of the premise, just the lingering irritation of someone who kept score.
Filmed at Plataforma Lavardén in Rosario, Argentina, the hour caught Campa in the middle of transitioning from sketch duos into a solo theater draw. Released internationally through Comedy Dynamics, the performance moves between domestic grievances and cultural contrast—like pointing out how Americans casually toss out working appliances while Argentines hoarded broken junk just in case.
Much of the latter half turns blue, running through gym routines, awkward hookup etiquette, and sending unwanted pictures. He delivers the confessions with a matter-of-fact irritation, rarely asking the audience to like him.
