Biography

She is the cousin and former lover of Argentine rugby legend Agustín Pichot.

Pichot rose to fame in 2008, when she uploaded a video to YouTube after breaking up with her boyfriend, entitled La Loca de Mierda (roughly translated "The Fucking Crazy Woman").[2] After a series of humorous La Loca de Mierda YouTube videos were viewed by millions of people, MTV Latin America hired Pichot to broadcast her videos on its website.[1]

After having become an internet celebrity, Pichot presented her stand-up show Concheta pero con gracia (roughly translated "bourgeois but graceful",[1]) and has been performing with Ezequiel Campa in the stand-up comedy show Campa-Pichot since 2010.[3]

In 2011 Pichot joined the cast of El hombre de tu vida, an Argentine comedy series created by Juan José Campanella that aired in Telefe.[4]

In 2012 Pichot had her own sketch comedy segment in Canal 9's show Duro de domar, called Cualca!, available in YouTube.[5][6]

In 2013, she created and acted in two other series: Jorge, an 8-episode series on TV Publica, and Por ahora, a 13-episode series on Cosmopolitan TV.[7]
