In Alicante, memories of past visits linger for the Glorious Ignorants, with a notable stop in the city during a memorable night back in 2015 when audiences at the Teatro Principal enjoyed sharp humor, vibrant energy, and more than a few chuckles. The appetite to experience Glorious Ignorants again in Alicante remains strong.
A event is planned with Javier Cansado, Javier Coronas, and Pepe Colubi performing at the Alicante State Auditorium, known as ADDA, on a Saturday evening. The show is expected to feature Raul Cimas as a guest, adding another layer of wit to the lineup.
Tickets for the performance are available now and are suitable for audiences aged 12 and up. The price is 25 euros, with a small administration fee of 2.5 euros. This is a single-price seating arrangement that promises an evening of sharp banter and entertaining debate.
The Candid Appeal of The Glorious Ignorant
The Glorious Ignorant is described as a multi-faceted discussion designed to shed light on a wide array of topics across knowledge, culture, and human curiosity. The performers bring a blend of humor, skepticism, and playful absurdity to the stage, inviting the audience to think while they laugh.
Coronas, weary yet wonderfully curious, joins Colubi in navigating a spectrum of subjects that range from inventions and nature to dreams and metaphysics, and from culture to travel, movies, superheroes, and even intimate questions about love and mortality. The approach is humorous, often improvised, and deliberately provocative, creating a dynamic where ideas collide and the humor lands in unexpected places.
With a distinctive style that pairs intellectual rigor with a wink to ignorance, the show thrives on unpredictability. Each performance arrives with its own energy, promising a unique experience that keeps audiences coming back for more every time. The balance of facts presented with playful speculation ensures there is something new in every act.
The promotional materials positioned the show as a poster of wit and curiosity, a reminder that intelligent dialogue can be entertaining and accessible to a broad audience. The poster, at its core, hints at the spirit of the performance: a lively exchange where ideas matter but laughter remains central.

The Glorious Ignorants trace their origins to a late-night program broadcast on Canal Plus in November 2008. The essence of the act can be imagined as a long, humorous voyage that gathers questions, doubts, and curiosity into a shared space where the knowledge-seeking impulse is celebrated rather than diminished.
At the heart of the troupe is Javier Coronas, sometimes described as the restless conductor of ideas, who, along with Javier Tired and Pepe Colubi, has built an information hub that fans affectionately call Bar Javi. It was a cultural sanctuary, a place where certainty could be debated and questions encouraged. When the original venue faced financial challenges, Canal Plus facilitated a return to the stage, allowing the Glorious Ignorants to continue entertaining and challenging audiences long after the show’s initial spark. Even through challenges, the team has endured and continued to perform, underscoring the resilience and enduring appeal of their format. The group’s history reflects a commitment to thought-provoking humor that resonates beyond borders and seasons. (attribution: Canal Plus)
