About Damián Dreizik
Damián Andrés Dreizik is an Argentine actor, screenwriter and theatre director born in Buenos Aires on 14 May 1966. He began his career in the 1980s underground theatre scene, working with Carlos Belloso's Parakultural group, and became known as one of the most distinctive character actors of his generation in film and television. In 2002 he debuted his recurring character, acting teacher Raúl Ricoletti, as part of the pioneering ensemble show "Cómico Stand Up," performing it again in 2003 at the Complejo La Plaza alongside fellow founders of Argentine stand-up including Diego Reinhold, Peto Menahem, Martín Rocco and Gustavo Garzón. He later built new solo material around Ricoletti, including "Ricoletti (El regreso)," combining excerpts from earlier shows with new material, and spent six years as a columnist on the radio program "Day Tripper," later appearing on "Sistema Garage" and "Automenaje." Dreizik has said he is not certain his character-driven monologues count as stand-up in the strictest sense, but he continues to develop the form, having completed his third solo monologue show.
