Eva y qué

Eva y qué is the stage name of Eva Martínez Lendínez, a Spanish stand-up comedian born in 1983 who studied statistics at the University of Jaén before working as a waitress from the age of sixteen to help support her family. She trained in stand-up comedy in Madrid and won several competitions, including the monologue contest run by Cadena SER. Her stage name evolved from an early nickname, Eva y punto, coined from a phrase her father used to say, into Eva y qué after a suggestion from a fellow comedian when she moved to Madrid. She became a resident performer at La Chocita del Loro on Gran Vía, where her solo show Reina de Rombos ran for around five years, mixing improvised crowd work with routines drawing on her Andalusian background. The show closes each bit with a diamond shape formed by her hands, a signature gesture that gives the piece its title. She has continued to tour her material to venues around Spain, including performances in Ceuta, building on her Chocita del Loro residency.
