Dino Gordillo

Dino Julio Guzmán Gayoso, better known as Dino Gordillo (born in Lota on February 26, 1960), is a Chilean humorist. He was born in the Chilean commune of Lota in 1960, and three years later his family moved to Chiguayante, where he spent his childhood and youth.

His career took off in 1996, when he performed at the Festival del Huaso de Olmué. That same summer he was invited to the Festival de Viña del Mar, an event at which he performed for five consecutive years (until 2000), achieving rating peaks. In parallel, he took part in a series of television programs, such as Sal & Pimienta (Megavisión), Noche de ronda (Canal 13), Corazón partío (TVN), Viva el lunes (Canal 13) and La última tentación (Chilevisión), until 2005, when he decided to step away from the screens.

In 2010 he returned to the Festival del Huaso de Olmué, after fourteen years of a humorous career, and the following year he performed for the sixth time at the Festival de Viña, winning the antorchas de plata and de oro. In 2016 he had his own humor miniseries on TVN, Más Gordillo que Dino. In February 2019 he had his seventh appearance at the Festival de Viña del Mar, tying with the comedians Jorge Romero "Firulete" and Coco Legrand in number of appearances at the event. Regarding his family, he married Patricia Cabellero, with whom he had six children. In January 2020 he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Clínica Alemana after suffering an aortic dissection. In February 2022 he was told that one of his sons had died hours before he was to perform at a show in the commune of Vicuña; he performed anyway, stating that he had promised his son he would go on stage and that the show must go on.
