Santiago, Chile – Comedian Diego Urrutia delivered a standout performance at the recent Festival de la Comedia on Chilevisión, drawing laughter and applause with a pointed joke referencing Francisco Kaminski, the ex-husband of television personality Carla Jara. The routine, which aired on Sunday, March 1, 2026, according to BioBioChile, touched on Urrutia’s personal experiences and a well-known childhood obsession with the Mexican television show, *El Chavo del 8*.
Urrutia’s comedic timing centered around a comparison between Don Ramón, a perpetually indebted character from *El Chavo del 8*, and Kaminski, who has faced scrutiny over substantial debts to former partners. “Estaban todos (los personajes del Chavo del 8) ahí: ‘ratero, ratero’… estaba ahí Don Ramón, un hue… que debía 12 meses de renta,” Urrutia reportedly said, setting up the punchline. He then quipped, “Ni Kaminski se atrevió a tanto,” a statement that resonated with the audience and quickly circulated online. The phrase, meaning “Not even Kaminski dared that much,” alludes to the scale of Kaminski’s financial obligations.
The joke comes after a period of public attention surrounding Urrutia’s own relationship with Jara, which ended in June 2025, as reported by Pagina7.cl. The couple’s split followed a highly publicized scandal involving Kaminski, and Urrutia’s routine clearly tapped into that existing narrative. Urrutia further fueled the laughter with a follow-up remark, “Buta que me cae mal ese hue…,” before clarifying he was still referring to Don Ramón, adding another layer to the comedic bit.
The Festival de la Comedia, which concluded on Sunday, featured 18 comedians and was hosted by Julio César Rodríguez. Urrutia’s performance has been highlighted as a key moment from the event, and he is now set to join the cast of the revived ‘Club de la Comedia’ program on Chilevisión, according to BioBioChile. Joining him will be María José Quiroz, Kurt Carrera, and Christian Henríquez, with Pato Pimienta serving as the creative director.
Urrutia’s rise in the Chilean comedy scene has been marked by his relatable storytelling, often drawing from his experiences growing up in Temuco and moving to Santiago. His fanatical appreciation for *El Chavo del 8* provided a nostalgic backdrop for the joke about Kaminski, connecting with a broad audience familiar with the iconic series. The reference to the episode where El Chavo is accused of being a “ratero” (thief) added another layer of irony to the comparison.
The comedian’s performance has sparked conversation online, with the phrase “Ni Kaminski se atrevió a tanto” trending on social media. The incident underscores the intersection of comedy, celebrity gossip, and public perception in Chilean entertainment. The Festival de la Comedia, intended as a showcase for emerging and established comedic talent, has successfully generated buzz around Urrutia’s act.
Chilevisión has confirmed Urrutia’s addition to the ‘Club de la Comedia’ lineup, signaling a continued investment in his comedic potential. The program is expected to premiere in the coming weeks, offering Urrutia a platform to further develop his comedic voice and connect with a wider audience. The show’s revival aims to recapture the popularity of its original run, leveraging the talents of a new generation of comedians.
The next scheduled event related to this story is the premiere of the revived ‘Club de la Comedia’ on Chilevisión, where Urrutia will be featured. Viewers can expect further comedic commentary and potentially more references to current events and celebrity culture.
