Vincenzo Iacchetti (born 31 August 1952), best known as Enzo Iacchetti, is an Italian stand-up comedian, actor, television presenter and singer.

Life and career[]

Born in Castelleone, Iacchetti graduated in accounting and then made his apprenticeship as an entertainer performing in pizzerias and in restaurants in occasion of baptisms and weddings.[1] In 1978 he was responsible for the programming of Radio Tresa, a little radio station in Lavena, also working as a speaker and an interviewer.[2] In 1979 he moved to Milan, where he started performing at the Derby Club alongside other future successful comedians such as Giorgio Faletti and Francesco Salvi.[2][3]

In 1981 Iacchetti made his television debut, playing a series of practical jokes for the RAI show Il Sabato dello Zecchino.[3] After appearing in a number of other variety shows, he had his breakout in the early 1990s as a recurring guest in the Canale 5 talk show Maurizio Costanzo Show, where he became popular for his "bonsai" songs, very short humor songs usually lasting less than a minute whose lyrics were surrealistic and often nonsensical.[3][4] Starting from 1994, Iacchetti got a large success as the presenter of the satirical Striscia la notizia, a role he reprised in the following seasons.[3][4] In 1995, he made his debut as lead actor in the film Come quando fuori piove.[3]
