Lierni Elortza (1965 - Segura, Guipuzcoa) lives between Ascain and Goierri, where he is a radio journalist for Segura Irratia. This non-stop toing-and-froing hasn’t changed his Basque cosmovision. Both full of joy and firm, he is the ideal person to be a judge at Xilaba, the Northern Basque Country’s improvisation championship.
