• 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.
