RTVA Revives Satirical New Year's Eve Special Campanades 2026

RTVA broadcast a new New Year's Eve comedy special, *Campanades 2026*, on 31 December at 22:45, hosted by Iván Lira and Miki Legendario.

The live production from Quelcom Andorra and La Random Collective—featuring Igal Rodríguez, Kevin Silva, Àlex Punjabi, and Àlex López—revived satirical sketches after nearly a decade off Andorra Televisió's year-end schedule. It streamed on the RTVA website and drew support from sponsors MyAndbank and Roca Ribes. Filming began in August after months of preparation, blending technical ambition with local humour targeting Andorra's realities.

Lira and Legendario, who led past specials in 2012 and 2015, noted major shifts since then. "Technology has changed a lot, and so has Andorra in 2025," they said, praising La Random Collective's fresh input as an enriching contrast to their own approach.

This version sharpens the edge, ditching past naivety for "more well-mannered bite" amid a sense that "everything can go off the rails." The multiverse frames the narrative—not as a gimmick, but a reflection of daily life where "reality no longer has a single coherent version." It enables bold exaggerations and critiques without restraint: "If everything is possible, everything is fair game."

The plot tracks Mike and Joe, American YouTubers arriving in the Principat for digital ventures. Broke after their plans collapse, they join *El Joc de l'Isard*, a *Squid Game* spoof. *Lord of the Rings* nods tackle foreign investors, new digital jobs, and political-social issues. Self-mockery abounds, with creators portraying "exactly what we criticise"—calling it multiverse logic and therapy. Regadera Foodie disrupts as more than a guest, "breaking the universe."

Pacing delivers "controlled chaos": everything tightly scripted to feel like it's unravelling. The duo self-filters content—"if it doesn't amuse us, it doesn't pass"—leaving bar-room topics aside. It's humour with an implicit yearly balance, "done laughing, not pointing fingers," amid a screen-saturated world where wit persists, for now.

They distilled it as "a New Year's Eve that doesn't tell you what to think, but what to laugh about."
