Bombo Fica

Daniel Haroldo Fica Roa, known professionally as Bombo Fica, is a Chilean humorist, comedian, and actor. Born in Purén on September 4, 1963, he grew up in working-class neighborhoods of Santiago and witnessed significant historical events including the military coup of 1973. During his schooling at local public institutions, educators noted his aptitude for both narrative and comedic expression. Bombo Fica gained recognition as a comedian in 1986 through appearances on 'Éxito' and 'Alegría 86'. His stage name originates from the bass drum he initially used in his performances, later evolving to a bongo drum. He has since appeared in numerous television programs including Noche de ronda, Viva el lunes, and Venga conmigo, and participated in multiple editions of the Teletón. His comedy style involves contingent humor, caricaturing Chilean culture and telling fast stories, often incorporating stand-up, storytelling, and social commentary. He describes his humor as 'contingent, everyday, simple'. He is known for wearing all white during performances. Bombo Fica’s career includes notable appearances at major Chilean festivals. In 2009 and 2023, he took part in the Festival del Huaso de Olmué; his debut at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival occurred on February 24, 2010, resulting in him receiving three awards voted on by the audience. He returned to Viña in 2012, earning four awards and the highest rating of the contest. He also participated in the 'Tonka Tanka' program during the 2010 World Cup and 'Locos por el Mundial' in 2014. In 2015, his show 'El bar del Bombo y los chistositos' premiered on Chilevisión, and he celebrated his 30th career anniversary with the show 'Como bombo en fiesta', which was later released as a film in 2016. Since 1990, he has maintained affiliation with the Communist Party of Chile, formally rejoining in 2017, and that same year featured as a participant in the political discussion program Candidato. He announced his retirement from television stages in 2025 after 40 years of career, opening the second and final night of the Festival de Las Condes 2025 and setting a historical record.

Ron Vaudry

Ron Vaudry is a Canadian comedian with a career spanning over four decades. Born and raised in Montreal, his family has deep roots in the city, tracing back to 1654. Raised in a working-class family, he has familial ties to the performing arts; his grandmother pursued a career as an opera singer and his grandfather held a position as a stage manager. Vaudry’s formal education ended prematurely when he left high school just before graduation after confronting a teacher who had physically assaulted him. Since then, he has prioritized self-education, focusing on subjects that capture his interest. He began his comedy journey in 1979 performing twelve shows within twelve hours at a Montreal Jerry Lewis Telethon. Vaudry quickly established himself as a significant figure in Canadian stand-up. By 1980, he relocated to Toronto and became one of the original twelve comics at Yuk Yuk’s, even holding the distinction of being the first comic to perform there. He participated in the inaugural Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Tour across Canada in 1982. His comedy style is described as intelligent, witty, and sardonic, with a sharp perspective often considered tougher and angrier than that of many contemporaries. Howard Nemetz characterizes him as the perfect combination of rage and outrage. Vaudry aims to provoke audiences into confronting surprising thoughts through laughter. He has toured internationally for 43 years (as of 2025), performing political and social comedy. Throughout his career, Ron Vaudry has expanded his reach beyond Canada, working extensively in the United Kingdom. He toured the UK in 1987, appearing at the Glasgow Festival and in London. Vaudry also collaborated with other comedians; he toured with Darryl Lenox in 2000, forming a lifelong friendship, and was part of the sketch troupe 'The Needles' alongside Lawrence Morgenstern, Simon Rakoff, and Howard Nemetz. Recognized as a pioneering figure in Canadian stand-up comedy, he has significantly impacted other comedians. David Merry acknowledges him as both a mentor and a dear friend, while Sherry O’Brien attributes half of her stand-up expertise to his guidance.
