Tricicle

Tricicle (Catalan: [tɾiˈsi.klə]) is a Spanish physical comedy group consisting of Joan Gràcia, Francesc ''Paco'' Mir, and Carles Sans. Founded in 1979, the group initially performed short sketches in public spaces and alternative venues. The members were students at Barcelona's Institut del Teatre, where they studied pantomime and dramatic arts.

In 1982 Tricicle made their professional circuit debut at the Sala Villarroel in Barcelona. The show was a compilation of sketches developed during their performances in "cafés-teatro" (bars and cafés offering live performances). The production, titled Manicomic, achieved critical and commercial success and won a prize at the Sitges International Theatre Festival the same year.
