Mehdi Mahtaj 33 years old is the founder and creative mind behind Madrid Comedy Festival. With a background in audiovisual production and event organization, Mehdi has always been passionate about connecting people through laughter and creativity.

What started as a simple idea — to unite comedians from different cultures and languages on one stage — quickly grew into the first international comedy festival in Madrid. Mehdi brought together a talented team of comics, producers, and artists who shared the same dream: to make Madrid a true capital of comedy.

From building the concept to coordinating venues, shows, and partners, he led the project with energy, vision, and heart. His goal was clear — to celebrate diversity, humor, and the power of live performance.

Thanks to his dedication, the Madrid Comedy Festival isn’t just an event — it’s a community.
