The lawyer-comedian duo Iván Lladó and Adrián Castellar will headline a comedy show on Dec. 5 and 6 at Teatro Tapia.
Attorneys and comedians Iván Lladó Rodríguez and Adrián Castellar Araud return to the stage in December with their new show, "Enchaqueta'o Season 2."
The duo, who lead the firm "Lladó, Castellar, Yamilet y Abuela Kuka," have more than 10 years of experience in both law and comedy. For both of them, it was "very organic" how they managed to combine their two passions in "Enchaqueta'o," their comedic series in which they share stories from the legal world and everyday life.
The comedy show will appear at Teatro Tapia for the first time, on Dec. 5 and 6 at 8:00 p.m. Last August, "Enchaqueta'o" ran for six shows at Café Teatro y Bar Moneró in Caguas, and five more to strong turnout at Punto Fijo in Santurce in May 2024.
What to expect from this comedy duo
Each sketch is a product of the comedians' creativity and improvisation. One has an idea and the other runs with it.
"Sometimes things come up that we didn't think we were going to do, that's what improvisation is, and we have a great time filming the series. We laugh a lot," said Lladó Rodríguez, who is also a graduate of the University of Puerto Rico School of Law.
In "Enchaqueta'o Season 2," the actor-attorneys will include sets in which they handle a new court case and other moments that any attorney or administrative employee could relate to.
Both comedians will also have individual material covering topics such as fatherhood, everyday life, queer experiences, and Puerto Rican entertainment and politics, all treated humorously.
They will be joined by special guest comedian Ángel Lacomba, who will play a newly hired third attorney at the firm imagined by Lladó and Castellar.
Castellar Araud also mentioned that they enjoy interacting directly with the audience and "keeping them engaged" with improvised jokes.
"We're going to have music, we're going to have sketches in the stand-up, a variety show", he added.
Law and comedy, hand in hand
Both attorneys agree that law and comedy have parallels. "They are two professions that can coexist, and they are two things that overlap at some point along the way," said Castellar Araud, who studied law at the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico.
Castellar Araud explained that, just as attorneys write arguments to persuade a jury, "the comedian has to argue that he is the best comedian. He has to be original when writing his joke, know how to deliver it to the audience."
To promote their shows and stay active in the performing arts, the duo has taken on the task of posting reels on Instagram, in which they play characters who work at a law firm.
On and off the stage, Lladó Rodríguez considers himself the energetic, upbeat one of the pair, while Castellar Araud brings a more serious character and a world-weary tone that draws laughs.
The result is a comedic chemistry that promises a couple of shows full of laughter and enjoyment for the audience. If not, "Adrián will give you your money back," joked Lladó Rodríguez, who is the father of two children.
One thing is certain: at every show, "we make it clear to the audience not to call 'Lladó, Castellar, Yamilet y Abuela Kuka' because it doesn't exist. It's not in the yellow pages," the attorney and comedian added.
