In this episode of the Quinqué Podcast, we welcome Iván Camejo. Actor, comedian, screenwriter, and director, Camejo opens the door to much more than just jokes. We talk about the craft of making people laugh, how to build an idea that ends in laughter, writing for others, rhythm, the perfect word, and the intelligence needed for humor to work. We explore names and generations that are part of the history of humor in Cuba, and delve into an unavoidable topic: the relationship between humor, politics, and censorship, and how comedians, from the stage, found ways to express, suggest, and reflect reality.
Camejo also shares what it meant to leave Cuba and begin a new chapter in Miami: adapting to a different audience, different codes, a different reality, without losing the essence of his humor. This episode is a true masterclass in Cuban humor: a conversation about craft, memory, censorship, emigration, and the intelligence behind a laugh.
