Comedian Craig Hill is in Madrid!

   It’s finally the weekend and a friend asks, “What are you doing?” You respond by saying, “maybe Friday a little botellon in the streets, and Saturday a concert, and Sunday? Well, what’s there really to do on Sunday in Madrid?”

            Every weekend this question is asked, and answered, by millions of people. And most often Friday and Saturday are what people are most interested in. But believe it or not, here in Madrid, Sunday is making a name for itself.

             We know you might be wondering how a Sunday, the day of rest, could become part of the weekend update? Two words: Giggling Guiri.

            The Giggling Guiri is one of the hottest English comedy clubs in the city, and their line up this season is off the charts hysterical! With comedians from Scotland, England, Ireland, Australia, and more, every act is completely unique, and five star funny.

            Once a month at Sala Clamores, the Giggling Guiri puts on an amazing show. This Sunday, October 12^th, 2008, Craig Hill, the famous Scottish comedian, known for his cheeky musical characterizations, will be back in Madrid and energetic as ever. His renditions of Shirley Bassey singing “Who Ate All The Pies” and Julie Andrews singing Punk songs made him an instant hit, and won him an award for the Comedy Stores “Stand Up for Hooch” competition of the year.

            If his face looks familiar it’s because he was one of five stand-ups on BBC Scotland’s “Live Floor Show”. And after two series, he became part of the cast when the show went national. Haven’t seen him on television? Well maybe at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he debuted his solo show in 2000 and has since gone on to do a brand new show every year.

            Since he exploded onto the scene in 1998, people have smiled and laughed more. Now do you see why Sundays are making a comeback? So tell us again, what are you doing this weekend?
