Eva Hache and El Club de la Comedia: from the monologic script to the dialogic register

Abstract

This article shows an analysis of the register of the comedian Eva Hache, the presenter of El Club de la Comedia (a Spanish TV program) in 2011 and 2012. In accordance with the General Theory of Verbal Humor of Attardo and Raskin (1991) and Ruiz Gurillo (2012), this analysis mainly focuses on the knowledge resource known as narrative strategy. Planning, immediacy, face-toface interaction, as well as the feedback or the dynamism with the audience are analyzed in the written script and in the dramatized monologue, in order to argue that Eva Hache’s monologues are in fact dialogues with the audience
