In a recent episode of the podcast “Nadie sabe nada,” Andreu Buenafuente discussed his unique approach to leaving crowded events without feeling overwhelmed. Joined by fellow comedian Berto Romero, Buenafuente emphasized the importance of having a plan in these situations.
Buenafuente”s strategy involves a clever blend of humor and practicality. He mentioned that he often announces to those around him, “Let”s go to sleep because these people will want to rest.” This humorous remark frequently elicits laughter, yet it also serves as a subtle cue for others to begin moving.
In the podcast, he explained that this technique hinges on timing and delivery. He pointed out that simply standing up from his chair and stretching can signal his intent to leave, prompting a natural flow of movement among the crowd. He noted, “It”s not just about the words; it”s also about the body language.”
One of his more theatrical suggestions includes announcing an early commitment, stating, “We need to leave because we have an obligation at six.” This tactic not only provides a valid reason for leaving but also encourages others to follow suit.
In closing, Buenafuente likened the experience to an art form, describing it as a way to “safely usher someone out through the window without causing harm,” using humor as the vehicle to achieve a graceful exit.
