Comedian and stage performer
Manuel Vieira Montesdeoca, known as Manolo Vieira, was a comedian from La Isleta who received the Canary Islands Gold Medal in 2002.
Decree 47/2002 of the Boletín Oficial de Canarias identifies Manuel Vieira Montesdeoca, Manolo Vieira, as a comedian born in the La Isleta district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The decree highlights his stage work, close to oral narration, and his ability to involve audiences in recognisable parodies.
The same source awarded Vieira the Canary Islands Gold Medal in 2002, stressing the breadth of his artistic career and his popular connection through humour. The Canary Islands Government's institutional note after his death recalled four decades of activity inside and outside the islands and his farewell tour, La última y nos vamos.
The Government also noted that his shows defended the use of Canarian Spanish. This profile keeps only vital data supported by accessible official sources and remains partial for exact birth and death dates.
