**Iván Fematt, “La Mole,” Dreams of Filmmaking**
Mexican comedian Iván Fematt, affectionately known as “La Mole,” recently captivated a Tijuana audience at the Foro Jai Alai with his stand-up show, “Before I Was Married.” Known for his radio and TV hosting gigs and his YouTube presence, La Mole is a notable figure in the world of comedy, often performing alongside other famous comedians such as Adrián Marcelo and Franco Escamilla.
During his performance, La Mole entertained over a thousand spectators with humorous tales and anecdotes that resonated with the local crowd. Behind the scenes, he shared insights into his dual life: a playful persona on stage and a more grounded family man at home. “When I leave the stage, I become Iván again, spending time with my wife and children. But on stage, I’m the same joker you see in media,” he disclosed in an interview.
Nuevo León, particularly Monterrey, has become a stronghold for Mexican comedy, according to Fematt. He attributes this to the increasing number of venues for comedians to showcase their craft. “In Monterrey, comedy and social gatherings like barbecues are part of the culture,” he explained. The rise of numerous comedic talents, such as Mike Salazar and Los Tres Tristes Tigres, has fueled friendly competition, enhancing the quality and diversity of the comedy scene.
Currently slated to appear in the upcoming season of “LOL” on Amazon Prime with Eugenio Derbez, Fematt is also exploring the realm of cinema. “I’ve always wanted to make films, even if it’s not at a Hollywood level. I hope to do something for the big screen. I’ve done cameos, but who knows, maybe something more substantial lies ahead,” he revealed.
