Enrico Beruschi (born 5 September 1941) is an Italian comedian, actor, singer and television personality.

Life and career

Beruschi studied at the Italian Liceo classico in Milan, having Cochi Ponzoni as his deskmate.[1] Formerly employed in a food company, he began his career as a comedian at the Derby Club in 1972.[2][3] He had his breakout in 1977, with the RAI variety show Non Stop.[2] In the following years, Beruschi appeared in a large number of TV shows, often performing sketches about a bumbling accountant oppressed by his wife, played by Margherita Fumero, and reached the peak of his popularity with the Italia 1 comedy show Drive in.[2][4] From the early 1990s, he focused on theater and stand-up comedy.[2]

Beruschi also recorded several comedy songs; in 1979 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, finishing fifth with the song "Sarà un fiore".[4]
