Cynthia
Girardin
Hello! I am a Spanish-born writer, comedian, and maker living in Edinburgh, Scotland.
My writing, film, and stand-up material explore the absurdities of modern life, especially the tension between our need for validation and my personal attempt to thrive as a creative without social media. As a trilingual artist (English, Spanish, and French), I love unpacking identity through language and confronting life’s more pressing dilemmas, like: Why does being 5,000 km away from my family feel so good? What’s behind the urge to change my hair colour every three months? And why do bus drivers always salute each other?
Welcome to my website, my little corner of the internet. Here you can find all the cool stuff I’ve been doing, also some photos where I look very professional, and how to get in touch.
