Manuel Ángel Redondo moves comfortably in the terrain where nostalgia and migratory paperwork go hand in hand to ruin your day. In Worst Truths & Best Lies, the Venezuelan diaspora appears as what it is: a constant cultural clash, with regional rivalries, local oddities and that bureaucracy that doesn't even forgive sarcasm.
The tone is dry, tired and biting: comedy functions as a refuge when the personal and social crisis no longer fits in a normal conversation. The strongest idea is not to "laugh to forget", but to laugh to be able to look uncomfortable things in the face-without filters and without asking permission.
Verifiable fact, in case you need context: Redondo is a Venezuelan comedian and creator, known for projects such as Entregrados and for his stand-up specials, including Peores verdades y mejores mentiras (premiered as a YouTube special).
