Lucas Upstein, a comedian who was presenting his show last Sunday, June 9, uploaded a photo at the Monument to Sports with the message “In San Juan with the monument to the Year.” The comedian, who on his previous visit before arriving in San Juan had posted a message about the province as if it were another country, returned to making humor with the attractive people of San Juan.
“My great-grandparents arrived in Argentina on a ship from the war, leaving their entire family behind. Today it is my turn to leave my family behind to leave a country plunged into poverty, insecurity and inflation. A symbolic holocaust. It hurts me, Argentina. It hurts me,” she had posted during his visit in 2023, and at that time it generated a brief controversy. However, on this occasion, the people of San Juan took it with humor and even invited him to have some mates with semitas in the park.
Born on January 11, 1994, he studied stand-up with Luciano Mellera and Fernanda Metilli (also comedians), and improvisation with the Mosquito Sancinetto, and was building a personal style, where sometimes there seem to be no limits. Jokes about incest, temporal paradoxes and death are part of Upstein’s repertoire, as well as tragedy and comedy, he uses them to get through existence.
With strong circulation on networks, Upstein is crowned as one of the new wave of humor that hybridizes social networks with work in language.
