About Uke Geraci
Uke Geraci is an Argentine stand-up comedian born in Bahía Blanca who grew up in the coastal city of Mar del Plata after also living in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, the United States and England. Before turning to comedy, he pursued an unusually varied path: at 19 he raced cars in England alongside future Formula 1 champion Jenson Button, worked as a truck driver in the United States, and also flew ultralight aircraft. He trained in theater for two decades at the Escuela Municipal de Arte Dramática in Buenos Aires under teachers Agustín Alezzo and Guillermo Angelelli, working in official and independent theater, film and television, before training specifically in stand-up with fellow comedian Fernando Sanjiao. Geraci took part in the Ciudad Emergente festival in 2014 and 2015 and was among the winners of Argentina's first Concurso Nacional de Stand Up, also receiving a mention as best comedian. He recorded stand-up routines for Canal 9 on three occasions and, in 2017, took part in Comedy Central specials broadcast on Telefe. His touring solo shows include "Desquiciado" and, since 2020, "Desquiciado en la Patagonia," a mix of monologues, music and audiovisual material that he performs every summer season in Puerto Madryn and tours nationally, as well as internationally in Uruguay and Bolivia.
