Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote will host comedian Susi Caramelo on 16 October 2026 as part of the International Comedy Festival. The venue, also called Jameos del Agua in Spanish usage, is a cultural centre inside a volcanic tube shaped by art, water and light.
Susi Caramelo brings comedy to Jameos del Agua on 16 October
Caramelo is scheduled to perform at the Auditorio Jameos del Agua on 16 October 2026. The programme listing describes the show as a return to stand-up, with personal experiences, relationships and observations of society forming the material for the performance.
The performance is part of the Festival Internacional del Humor, presented in English as the International Comedy Festival. A programme report on the performance places the event at the auditorium and says the show is recommended for audiences aged over 16. The same report identifies the programme as a series of stand-up, theatre and comedy events at the centre.
The listing presents the act as direct and improvisational, drawing on everyday situations. That format places a contemporary live performance inside a chamber whose walls and acoustics come from the volcanic landscape rather than from a conventional theatre building.
Jameos del Agua links the comedy programme to a lava tube
The centre occupies part of the La Corona volcanic tube, formed around 5,000 years ago by volcanic activity. Partial collapses in the roof created the natural openings known as jameos, while the wider tunnel continues from the base of the cone towards and beyond the coast.
In 1968, the first Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism created by César Manrique opened at the site. The intervention was completed in 1977 and uses paths, platforms, gardens and rest areas to organise movement through the volcanic chamber. The project also involved Jesús Soto and craftspeople, technicians and workers from Lanzarote.
The auditorium is one part of the route through the cave, alongside the Jameo Chico, the interior lake and the Jameo Grande. This makes the 16 October performance more than a generic island comedy date: the programme uses a named cultural space within a protected subterranean setting.
The surrounding area forms part of the Los Jameos Site of Scientific Interest, which protects the underground aquatic habitat. The lake is home to the blind crab, an endemic species adapted to darkness, according to the official site history and visitor guide.
