Who is Sebastián Wainraich?
Sebastián Wainraich is an Argentine actor, comedian, writer, screenwriter, and host, recognized as one of the most influential and talented figures in his country’s comedy and radio scene. Born in Buenos Aires in 1974, his style is characterized by a humor that reflects everyday life, is melancholic and intelligent, and often explores the neuroses of daily life and human vulnerability. His success lies in the delicate balance he strikes between comedy and depth, connecting with his audience through honesty.
Radio is the medium where Wainraich forged his identity and achieved recognition. After getting his start in radio production at a very young age, he made a name for himself hosting his iconic show *Metro y Medio* on Metro 95.1 for 17 years, and he currently hosts *Vuelta y media* on Urbana Play, one of the most widely listened-to shows in the country. His work in radio has made him a leading figure in comedy and daily entertainment—a role he deeply values. Furthermore, his collaboration with the influential Fernando Peña served as a major springboard, which he himself describes as a “university” in his development as a broadcaster.
In theater, Sebastián Wainraich co-wrote plays with Fernando Peña and established himself as a key figure in Argentina’s stand-up comedy scene. He is the creator and star of successful one-man shows such as *Wainraich y los frustrados* and *Frágil*, which he alternates with comedy monologues tailored to current events and his mood. His foray into fiction has also been notable: he is the creator, screenwriter, and star of the web series *Casi feliz* (Netflix), where he plays a version of himself, blending humor with dramatic elements.
In addition to his work in theater and radio, he has appeared on television in series such as *Televisión Registrada* and his own late-night show, *La noche perfecta*. As a writer, he has published short story collections such as *Ser feliz me da vergüenza y otros cuentos* and *Estoy cansado de mí y otros cuentos*, as well as the novel *Patria y familia*. Married to comedian Dalia Gutmann and the father of two children, his personal life often serves as the source of his humor. His dedication to Club Atlético Atlanta—of which he is an avowed fan—complements his identity as a multifaceted representative of contemporary Buenos Aires culture.
