David Broncano's late-night show, La Revuelta, continues to be a platform for enchanting guest appearances, merging culinary delights with entertaining anecdotes. This week, the show welcomed acclaimed chef Jordi Roca and celebrated actress Anna Castillo, both bringing their unique charms to the forefront.
On Monday, February 17, Roca, renowned as one of the world’s best pastry chefs, graced the stage at Teatro Príncipe Gran Vía. He was there to promote his latest book and share his experiences, including his struggles with vocal challenges due to cervical dysphonia. Broncano engaged Roca in light banter, creating moments where Roca humorously demonstrated how he manages to project his voice more powerfully when he’s animated. “When I get aggressive, when I shout, you can certainly hear me,” Roca explained, causing laughter among the audience as he recounted times when he found himself inadvertently using his stronger voice.
This playful atmosphere was punctuated by culinary exchanges, with Roca bringing along delightful desserts as his customary gift. “Does he eat sweets?” Grison, one of Broncano's comedic sidekicks, prompted after Roca indulged them with his creations. The chef surprisingly confessed his soft spot for candies, leading to an amusing yet slightly revolting moment when Grison mentioned, “The red dye of candies is cochineal poop.” Roca’s incredulous reaction was met with laughter, bringing the segment to life as Broncano noted the elevated vocal power Roca exhibited after the shocking claim.
The following day, on February 18, the audience was treated to the warmth and wit of Anna Castillo, who was on the show to promote her Prime Video series Su Majestad. Castillo exuded charm from the moment she stepped on stage, reminiscing about the early perceptions of her age, stating, “I believe I look younger, but I started working very early, so they think I’m older.” Her transparency and relatable demeanor endeared her to the audience even before she began discussing her career.
Castillo also candidly discussed her approach to aesthetics, sharing, “I’ve never had any modifications, but I do indulge every now and then with vitamin treatments for my skin.” Her insights on personal well-being added depth to her character, fostering engaging interactions with Broncano, who donned humorously exaggerated outfits as they explored culinary topics together.
The episode took another light-hearted turn when Broncano, with his signature curiosity, asked Castillo about her dating life, asking whether she had ever been romantically involved with any cousins. With candor, Castillo replied, “I have never been involved with any cousins. We have 19; I’m the oldest!” This playful exchange prompted Broncano to share his own family history, where he discovered his grandparents were cousins too, much to the crowd's delight.
Meanwhile, another segment from the show featured former Ciudadanos deputy Edmundo Bal, whose surprising presence added another layer of excitement to the episode. Broncano seamlessly transitioned to Bal, who explained the current state of the political party, humorously likening it to “a neighborhood association” since they no longer run for elections. Bal's casual demeanor peppered with political insights filled the room with both laughter and thoughtfulness.
The blend of culinary wisdom, intriguing personal stories, and humorous political discourse created a memorable viewing experience for the audience. It’s moments like these on La Revuelta where culinary artistry and star power converge, providing viewers with both entertainment and enlightening conversations.
With such vibrant guests continually gracing the show, Broncano’s La Revuelta promises to maintain its footprint as a favorite late-night fixture, captivating audiences with every new episode. The exciting array of guests sets the stage for what is sure to be another thrilling week of rapport and revelations on the popular show.
