He started as a radio presenter on Cadena SER, on the program Los 40 Principales, and on Cadena Dial. On television, he began his participation in 1999 on the program Xou com sou on the channel TV3.

He became well-known for his impersonations on the late-night show Crónicas marcianas on Telecinco of various characters, such as La Pitonisa Lola, Torrente, Juan Carlos I, or Cayetana de Alba.

Later, he started his own show on Telecinco, Latrelevisión, with modest audience success. After its cancellation, he moved to the channel Cuatro.

In 2012, he began recording Señoras que... with Josema Yuste, David Fernández, and Jordi Ríos, a sitcom that aired from 2012 to 2013 on the television channel Neox.
