Julen Axpe, Basque comedy about Athletic, Amurrio
On Thursday 3 December 2026 at 20:00 the Amurrio Antzokia in Amurrio, in the province of Álava, presents Julen Axpe's comedy Arrakastarako bidea, which means the road to success. The listing says the show follows the path of Athletic Club in search of success after forty years without lifting the Gabarra, with five lost finals in between. If you learn from failures, it jokes, this show leaves with a master's degree and two approved university titles. Then comes a spoiler: in the end Athletic won the Cup after forty years, but in this show what matters is not victory but moving on and learning, after falling, lessons that go far beyond football. For once, the listing adds, Axpe has parked his van, taken the helm of the Gabarra and set out to bring the energy of San Mamés to theatres. The show is in Basque and a ticket costs 8 euros. A football comedy gives everyone common ground to laugh at, so it is easy to attend alone. «Este espectáculo de comedia recorrerá el camino del Athletic en busca del éxito.» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.
