Comedian, Actor. Juan Joya Borja was a Spanish comedian and actor known by the stage name 'El Risitas.' He gained widespread popularity in 2015 thanks to a series of memes based on a television interview from June 2007 on Jesús Quintero's show "Ratones coloraos." His first appearance on television was in 2000, on Jesús Quintero's show "El Vagamundo," where he interviewed on various life situations with his partner 'El Peíto' or 'El Cuñao,' in a comedic tone. He became recognizable for his high-pitched, wheezing laugh, which led to his nickname 'El Risitas' ("Mr. Giggles" in English). He also appeared in the 2005 film "Torrente 3: El protector." When he became known internationally around 2015 he also performed for companies outside of Spain, for example in a Finnish commercial. From 2006 to 2006 he appeared in the television show "El loco de la colina" and from 2007 to 2012 in "El Gatopardo."
