LARA RICOTE
Lara Ricote is a twenty something year old storyteller, improviser, and stand up. She's Mexican, American, and Spanish but she's based in Amsterdam because she's morally opposed to consistency. She spent the pre-pandemic year doing stand up in South America because she's also funny in Spanish.
Lara performs stand up all around the Netherlands and improvises with Boom Chicago and easylaughs, which is important in the Netherlands. This year she has just won the 2021 Funny Women Stage Award and Dave's Best Newcomer award at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, which catapulted her onto this website.

TIME OUT
★ ★ ★ ★ "Lara Ricote is a ball of energy that manages to brighten even the dark and sticky room that is The Hive nightclub. But don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s all sweetness and light: Ricote has a wicked dark streak that often befits the room she’s performing in."
