Girardin

I’m a Spanish-born writer and comedian living in Edinburgh, Scotland. Both my writing and stand-up material touch on themes of modern life and the intersection between the need to be perceived and validated and the desire to be mysterious AF. As an English, Spanish, and French speaker, I love to explore identity through language and other pressing dilemmas like: Why does it feel so good to be 5,000 km away from my family? Where does this urge to change my hair colour every 3 months come from? Why do bus drivers always salute each other?

I also publish a bi-monthly newsletter called Sad Little Life with humorous personal essays on everything that catches my attention: from farting in front of your other half to how to avoid fast fashion.
