Erwin Padilla and Claudio Merlín are Chilean comedians and content creators who have built a strong presence in the new generation of Chilean stand-up comedy through live performances, digital content and touring shows across the country.
Erwin Padilla, with over 8 years of experience in comedy, became one of the breakout names of 2026 after winning the Festival del Huaso de Olmué, connecting with audiences through his relatable humor, absurd storytelling and everyday Chilean experiences.
Claudio Merlín, also with more than 8 years of experience in the comedy scene, was a finalist on the television competition “Coliseo”, a program created to discover new comedians for the Viña del Mar International Song Festival.
Together, they currently tour Chile with the successful stand-up comedy show “Por la Chucha”, a high-energy live experience filled with neighborhood humor, family anecdotes and exaggerated real-life situations.
They are also the creators of the comedy podcast “Te Voy a Derivar”, where they combine improvisation, characters and conversations inspired by everyday Chilean life with a fresh and authentic comedic style.
In September 2026, their tour will arrive in Canada for the first time with special performances in Montreal and Toronto as part of Semana de la Chilenidad 2026, organized by Organisme Chez La Washa & Provox Média™.
