English Comedy in Barcelona

British Optimist

Is it possible to be British AND an optimist? Award winning comedian Andy Casper seeks to find this out in his new show: British Optimist. With his trademark absurdist approach to stand up comedy, Andy will be making fun of his experience of living in Spain, being in charge of the longest running English comedy show in Barcelona, and old people in museums.*

About Andy Casper:

Andy Casper is a comedian with a penchant for the idiotic. Unafraid to deviate from his script, a wandering thought will often derail his performance in a most delightfully stupid way. One minute he's talking about his love life, the next he's exploring the idea of the Teletubbies being a dystopian hell. Don't ask how we got there, just be glad we did. It's a lot of fun. He is playful, bright, and optimistic. Andy is guaranteed to get you smiling.

He is the host of Imprfcto Comedy, Barcelona's longest running stand up comedy show in English. He has shared the stage with comedy heavyweights such as Michelle Wolf, Mike Rice, Kyla Cobbler, and Josh Glanc. Andy has studied clowning with the legendary Viggo Venn and is a constant student of the discipline. He regularly performs around Europe and the UK.

Andy has been a consistent presence at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in recent years. In August 2023, he took his debut hour there and enjoyed a successful run with over 15 sell out shows. In August 2024, his character comedy show Bone Man Rides Again was a cult hit in Edinburgh with many audiences chanting ''Bone Man!'' in the streets of the Scottish capital.

He has won awards for his comedy in Barcelona including ''Most Dedicated to Nonsense'' in both 2022 and 2024 at the annual Clubbies. His debut hour Gremlin Head won ''Best Solo Show'' in 2023. It is now available to watch on Youtube as a filmed special as of April 1st 2025.
