Cynthia
Girardin
Cynthia is a Spanish-born writer and comedian living in Edinburgh, Scotland. Both her writing and stand-up material touch on themes of modern life and the intersection between the need to be perceived and validated and the desire to be mysterious AF. As an English, Spanish, and French speaker, she also loves to explore identity through language and other pressing dilemmas like: Why does it feel so good to be 5,000 km away from her family? Where does the urge to change her hair colour every 3 months come from? Why do bus drivers always salute each other?
