Yllana’s passion for comedy inspired them to create the International Comedy Festival, held in Madrid from 1995 to 2008 with the support of the Directorate General for Cultural Promotion of Madrid. The Madrid International Comedy Festival is the only festival of its kind held in the surroundings of Madrid. For a few days the cultural programme of the city was enriched with different and uncommon artistic proposals, aiming at entertaining, amusing and promoting this art with theatrical languages coming from other countries or cultures. Every year the public could attend high level performances of many groups, creators and single artists representing the best of the performing arts’ panorama. There were also other activities promote, recognise and reflect on the genre of the comedy.
Amazing comic actors took part in the FIUHM, such as Leo Bassi, Les Founambules, The Umbilical Brothers, Jango Edwards, Antonia San Juan, Imprebís and many more.
