Cynthia Girardin

Born in Spain and based in Edinburgh, Cynthia Girardin is a bilingual writer and comedian whose work lives in the space between cultures, languages, and identities. With sharp storytelling and a distinctly millennial perspective, she explores the absurdities, misunderstandings, and emotional contradictions of a woman trying to build a life between two worlds.

Whether unpacking the politics of translation, the chaos of modern adulthood, or trying to understand why bus drivers always salute each other, her work is cheeky, playful, and deeply relatable to anyone who has ever felt caught between places. Based in Scotland but shaped by Spain, Cynthia brings an international voice to the comedy scene, one that celebrates duality while questioning where “home” really is.
