Guatemalan comedian and actor Jairon Salguero is set to mark three decades of laughter with a special performance titled "Jairon Salguero: 30 años de humor" (Jairon Salguero: 30 Years of Humor). The event will take place at the Miguel Ángel Asturias Cultural Center as part of the June Festival 2026.

Salguero's show promises an evening of stand-up comedy, revisiting his most popular monologues, jokes, and personal anecdotes that have resonated with audiences across Guatemala. Known for his direct, personal style without relying on characters, Salguero draws his humor from everyday observations, unspoken thoughts, and relatable situations.

During the two-hour performance, Salguero will share early jokes from his childhood, followed by a journey through his career's highlights. He plans to present a synthesis of his most beloved routines, including pieces like "Púchica," "Somos los Chapines," "Cásate y Verás," and "El Humor Está en Todas Partes." The show will also feature three new routines: one focusing on daily life in Guatemala, another on the subject of marriage, and a tribute to his grandmother, María Isabel Hernández, from whom he inherited his passion for comedy and storytelling.

Salguero will not be alone on stage for the entire show. The evening will kick off with opening sets from two well-known comedians: Pedro Chilaquila (Julio Fong) and Chicote Chapín (Rodrigo Martínez), each performing a 15-minute routine. Following their performances, Salguero will take the stage solo, accompanied only by a microphone. He invites the audience to celebrate Guatemalan comedy and use laughter as a tool to relieve stress.
