Atenas en Español #2

Chadmax, from Mexico. On stage since 2010. In stand-up since 2013. One of the pioneers of Spanish-language stand-up in Germany and the surrounding area.
He has shared stages in Mexico and Europe with some of Latin America's most important comedians, such as "La Cotorrisa," Ricardo O'farrill, Alex Fernández, El Cojo Feliz, El Tío Rober, Adal Ramones, Franco Escamilla, among others.
Since 2022, he's been touring the world practically non-stop, making thousands of people laugh! 20 countries and counting!
Martial artist and stand-up teacher to most of the comedians on the scene in the region, earning him the title of "the sensei of comedy."
Host of the podcasts "Creative Ninja" and "Germany in Spanish". Creator of the collective "The Comedy Fire", responsible for the majority of Spanish-language stand-up shows in Germany and surrounding areas since 2022 (with 300+ shows and counting).
Chadmax will be performing in Athens for the second time, this time presenting his new show "Importado," a comedy special focused primarily on the life of a Latinx migrant in Germany. It explores cultural clashes, and the differences and similarities that Latinxs and Europeans share. From everyday situations like introducing yourself for the first time in German, to the most extreme, like the free-body culture in Germany, his material is always approached with empathy and humour.
Juanma Johansson, the world's smallest Viking, is the best stand-up comedian in Guatemala (according to his friends), and one of the most prominent talents in the Spanish-speaking scene in Germany and surrounding areas.
A prominent member of the collective "The Comedy Fire" and winner of the "Estrella de Fuego 2023" award at the El Fuego Comedy Awards.
In 2024, Juanma premiered his first special and is appearing in Athens for the first time, as part of his European tour.
