I was born in the summer of 1955 in my house As soon as that happened I was given a spank on each buttock to show me what life was about and they immediately started feeding me Canarian gofio The unending food gave me a superstuffed chubby look that to this day triggers irrepressible belly laughs in those who see my baby photos At age 10 I mastered the art of making my classmates laugh without the teachers noticing In my teenage years I was sent as an intern to a model school for priests who beat me in the face if I did not behave Then I enrolled in a posh school in Barcelona where I shared a class with girls I failed almost every subject In an unusual fit of coherence I decide to be a journalist and enrolled in Law School After a joyous military service in Almería I discovered that being an actor was what I liked the most in this life I became friends with Joan Gràcia and Paco Mir and we decided to become Tricicle I enrolled at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona While I have enjoyed the success of our shows I have also been able to train as a director of awardwinning shorts articles in several widely read newspapers a fourhanded book and a solo show that is starting to tour now If everything continues like this I would not complain if I kick the bucket in a long time
