Eugenio Anniversary, from millionaire jokes to ruin due to cocaine, drinking and depression
If we name
Miguel Ángel Tirado
(71) no one would know who he is, but if we call him by his stage name,
Marianico el Corto
, things change.
The comedian from
Zaragoza
reached his peak of popularity thanks to
Do not laugh that is worse
(1990-95), which allowed him to do
more than 250 annual galas.
Later he would work with the Italian diva
Raffaella Carrà
in 33
Hola Raffaella programs.
Tonight he goes to El hormiguero 3.0 to talk about
his new series
The Last Show,
premiered on HBO.
He remembers
his childhood with great happiness
because when he finished his homework he went out to play in the street with his friends, although at school he had the odd little problem because the teachers used to throw him out because he used
many jokes.
As a child they called him
El Campanera
because he nailed Joselito's voice when singing
Campanera
, which he even
recorded on piano
with a priest from La Salle.
Miguel Ángel Tirado, Marianico el Corto, in the series 'The last show'.
After finishing high school, he
began technical engineering
that he left to graduate in
Teaching
and, shortly after, he did some courses as a commercial expert.
One of his first jobs was as
a gymnastics teacher, a
job that was interrupted when he had to do
the military in the
Spanish
Sahara
.
At that time, this African destination was so dangerous that, in one of his permits,
Miguel married a girlfriend because she was pregnant
and, in this way, in the event of death, the young woman would have more or less a resolved situation.
Later they would have
three more children.
When he graduated, he worked in different trades as
a security guard, an appliance salesman,
and even started a business with a friend that failed.
In the early 1980s, a radio show changed his life.
He started telling jokes and, from there, he spliced one hit with another.
The origin of his character is
a tribute to his grandfather Mariano,
the diminutive is for his height of 160 cm and the clothing and verbiage pay tribute to the
men of the country.
His jokes have alleviated the sorrows of thousands of people, especially that of a spectator who was about to jump into the Ebro river because his girlfriend had left him.
The performance of Marianico el Corto made him forget all the negative.
This
endearing character
continues to be his alter ego.
If before they stopped him on the street where Miguel Ángel gave away autographed photos, now they do it to take
selfies
.
In private he is an
outgoing, affable, friendly guy
and, above all, he loves to act as a grandfather.
At his side, as always, his wife, who is still his fiercest critic as well as faithful.
