Ecuadorian comedy grew from popular theatre. In the twentieth century companies in Quito toured the country with comedies, vaudevilles and musical revues, and the actor Ernesto Albán created one of the country’s best-loved characters, Don Evaristo Corral y Chancleta, in the Estampas Quiteñas, humorous sketches about the customs, politics and daily life of Quito. Those sketches celebrated ordinary Ecuadorians while laughing at the mistakes of the government of the day.
Street theatre is another strong tradition. Since the 1980s Carlos Michelena, known as El Miche, has performed in Quito’s El Ejido park with a white-painted face and home-made costumes, playing characters from neighbours and street sellers to politicians and using irony to make audiences think. Guayaquil and Quito also have growing stand-up scenes, and many younger comedians reach their audiences through television, theatre tours and social media.
Ecuadorian humour often plays with regional rivalries between the coast and the highlands, local accents, politics, family life and the contrasts of city life.
