Queco Novell is a Catalan journalist, actor and comedian. He was born in Barcelona in 1963. After completing his journalism studies in the Autonomous University of Barcelona, he was a news anchor in TVE’s Catalan afternoon news broadcast. Later, he worked in Minoria absoluta, RAC 1’s political parody radio program.<\/p>\n
He’s currently playing different political personalities in TV3’s program Pol\u00f2nia. Besides his humorous bent, Queco has taken part in several benefits. Because of that, Eyes of the world proposed him as a show host in our benefit dinner, The Night of the Eyes of the world, he accepted without hesitation.<\/p>\n
Many years ago, Rafael Rib\u00f3 told me about Eyes of the world and, back then, it already sounded like a great, praiseworthy initiative. So, when Rafael asked me to host your annual gala dinner, I didn\u2019t found any reason to refuse. And L\u00eddia is great to work with!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, organizations as yours often need a famous face to attract widespread attention. And I say \u201cunfortunately\u201d because their objective alone should make our collaboration unnecessary. However, if my contribution helps to extend your influence, that\u2019s fine with me.<\/p>\n
Well, I have never been to any of those countries, and if it wasn’t for your work I would have never been aware of those problems. Back to the main issue: entities like yours help to raise awareness about problems which otherwise we wouldn’t be aware of, they help us leave the comfort zone.<\/p>\n
Rafael Rib\u00f3’s speech had a profound impact on me. He, as usual, was right on target and didn\u2019t leave anybody indifferent.<\/p>\n
Absolutely. To say otherwise would be total nonsense.<\/p>\n
First of all, I think humor has its place in almost every aspect of life. We at Pol\u00f2nia have often made humor about humorless situations, especially this “hot autumn” we Catalans have gone through. Obviously, solidarity work can be fun too. Life is hard enough when you need humanitarian aid not to be able to laugh sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7234,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-11036","entrevistes","type-entrevistes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
