Lara Ricote: Inkling (Work in Progress)

Inkling (WIP) is a work in progress of what will become my third hour long show uh OH... I’ve been thinking some stuff for a bit and it might be coming out here… uh oh!…. This might be a show about where I get my ideas and what it all might mean…. Uh oh!!!It’s got stories and silent bits and loud bits and gossip bits and I think it’s my stupidest smartest one yet.I’d love for you to be there to help me figure things out. If you’d like that, do come along!

Lara Ricote is a Mexican-American-Venezuelan stand up comedian and writer whose debut show, GRL/LATNX/DEF, won the Best Newcomer Award at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The year before that, she won the 2021 Funny Stage Women Award.

Since starting to work in the UK in 2021, she’s been on Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping, Mel Giedroyc’s Unforgivable, Question Team (Dave), QI (BBC), Alan Davies’ As Of Yet Untitled, Comedy Central Live, World’s Most Dangerous Roads and Live at the Apollo. She has performed all over the UK, Europe and Argentina. She performs in both Spanish and in English.

The Guardian describes her as a “razor-sharp goofball,” and her debut show as a “riotously inventive show that blurs notions of race, gender and disability.”
