About Andrea Ibáñez
Andrea Ibáñez is a stand-up comedian from Mendoza who spent thirty years working as a motor technician in an after-sales department before the company she worked for closed in 2019, leaving her, in her own words, considered too old and overqualified to be rehired. She turned to the stage instead, training in stand-up alongside fellow Mendoza comedian Daniel Pérez and studying café-concert, comic theatre and clown with teachers including Adrián Sorrentino, Diego Flores and Gabriela Simón. Her signature project is "Tentadas Stand Up," a weekly comedy cycle for women that she created and hosts, inviting a different guest comedian each week and mixing theatre, clown and stand-up with an honest, acid style built around everyday observation from a woman's point of view. Running for four years by the mid-2020s, "Tentadas" became one of the most popular comedy tickets in Mendoza and has also toured to Buenos Aires, with Ibáñez recognized alongside other local comedians as one of the leading figures of the Mendoza comedy scene.
