Andrea Baccan

Andrea Pucci, born Andrea Baccan in Milan on August 23, 1965, is an Italian stand-up comedian, cabaret performer, actor and television host. Active since 1994, he is one of Italy's biggest live comedy draws and the historic face of Colorado on Italia 1, famous for sharp Milanese monologues on married life, family, Italian habits and his lifelong passion for Inter.

Pucci broke through in the mid-1990s as a joke contestant on the Italia 1 hit La sai l'ultima?, where host Pippo Franco gave him his stage name. From 2005 he became a fixture on Colorado on Italia 1, where his Milan-coded monologues turned him into one of the most recognisable comedy voices in Italy, and across the 2010s and 2020s he hosted his own variety formats including Andrea Pucci Show on Italia 1 in 2023 and recurring guest spots on Zelig, All Together Now and Michelle Impossible & Friends. On stage he sells out theatres and arenas across Italy with shows including Aspettando il Pucci, La nuova era and the long-running hit 30 anni e non sentirli, the 2024-2025 tour celebrating his thirty years in comedy. In summer 2025 he toured outdoor venues with Amo l'Estate and survived a serious on-stage heart episode in Forli in March 2025, returning to the road after a coronary procedure. In February 2026 he was announced and then publicly withdrew as co-host of one Festival di Sanremo evening alongside Carlo Conti.

Andrea Pucci tours arenas and outdoor venues in 2025-2026 with 30 anni e non sentirli and the summer show Amo l'Estate, with dates in Milan's Teatro Repower in Assago, Jesolo, Genoa, Cernobbio, Marina di Pietrasanta and across Switzerland. He continues to appear on Mediaset prime time variety, and tour announcements and on-stage clips are posted on Instagram @puccirealofficial.
