The Teatro Leal in La Laguna is getting the new season off to a strong start, with comedian Petite Lorena bringing her popular show Tremenda to the stage from Wednesday 2 to Friday 4 September 2026.
All three performances have already sold out, weeks before the curtain even goes up.
Not a bad way to reopen the theatre.
Petite Lorena returns with Tremenda
In Tremenda, Petite Lorena draws heavily on the oral storytelling traditions of the Canary Islands, particularly the distinctive way Canarian grandmothers have a story, an opinion and usually absolutely no problem telling you either.
The comedian takes a look at life and the passing of time through her own perspective, avoiding the latest trends and gimmicks in favour of humour rooted in everyday experiences.
After more than a year of touring with the show, Tremenda has evolved along the way, with Petite Lorena introducing new stories and observations.
This latest version reflects the experiences of a woman approaching fifty and dealing with the changes, challenges and general nonsense that come with getting older.
More than 20 years in comedy
Petite Lorena has built a strong following in the Canary Islands over more than two decades in comedy.
She has appeared in film and television productions and between 2019 and 2023 had her own section on En Otra Clave, one of Televisión Canaria’s most popular programmes.
Her ability to connect with audiences has made her one of the best-known names in Canarian comedy, and the rapid sell-out of her three Teatro Leal performances suggests her popularity hasn’t exactly gone downhill with age.
A strong start for the new season
The sold-out shows provide an encouraging start to the 2026-2027 Teatro Leal season, which will feature a mixture of comedy, theatre and music over the coming months.
For those who managed to get tickets, Tremenda promises an evening of stories, observations and plenty of laughs, with Petite Lorena turning the everyday business of getting older into comedy.
For everyone else… well, you’ll have to get your tickets a little earlier next time.
