Martín Dardik

Martín Dardik, known professionally as "El Trinche," is an Argentine comedian born in 1997 and raised in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the son of two teachers. His childhood nickname "Tincho" was gradually mispronounced by a niece into "Trinche." Raised on the sketches of the TV show "Videomatch," he discovered stand-up as a teenager and began performing comedy in 2013 at age 15, enrolling that March in a stand-up workshop taught by Luciano Mellera, Fernanda Metilli and Pablo Mazzola. He built an early following by posting jokes on Twitter, then gained wider attention after a friend uploaded video of him performing at a course showcase, and his profile grew rapidly on TikTok during the pandemic lockdown. He now sells out his own touring solo shows, which he calls "mítines," including performances in Mar del Plata, and is part of the Luzu TV streaming program "Antes que Nadie" alongside Diego Leuco, Mica Vázquez and Cande Molfese, having built close to a million and a half followers across social media.
