Daniel Salazar.
Best Act at the 2025 MICF Awards, for spending the whole festival as Trump.
The act
Four days as Trump.
Daniel Salazar did not do one set as Trump. He was Trump for the entire festival. He jumped into shows in Spanish and in English, moved from venue to venue in character, and spent his time backstage making fun of everyone.
Wig, red tie, executive orders scribbled on scraps of paper. Comics and audiences never knew where he would turn up next.
- Edition: First edition, October 2025
- Where: Venues across Madrid, including Picnic
- Languages: Spanish and English
The award
Commitment to the bit.
Some acts last five minutes. Daniel’s lasted the whole festival. Staying in character that long, across two languages and several rooms, and still finding new jokes, takes real work. It became part of what people remember about the first edition.
He was back in 2026 as himself, in the announced line-up for Free Palestine at Teatro Off Latina.
Thank you, Daniel, for never once breaking character. Congratulations.
