David Broncano

David Broncano Aguilera (; born 30 December 1984 ) is a Spanish comedian and television host. He has also worked in news and advertising agencies.

In 2017, he was awarded the "Jaén, Paraíso Interior" award by the Provincial Council of Jaén. Furthermore, he won two Ondas Awards for the program La Vida Moderna (The Modern Life) in the category of Best National Radio Program in 2018 and for the late night show La Resistencia in the category of Best Light Entertainment Program on Television in 2019.

From 2018 to 2024, he hosted with Ricardo Castella, the late night television show La Resistencia, on #0. The first season finished on 5 July 2018.

Since 2024, he has hosted the television show La revuelta, on La 1.

Personal life Although he was born in Rianxo, A Coruña to parents from Madrid, at a young age he moved to Orcera, Jaén. His mother is a maths teacher and his brother, Daniel Broncano, a musician and the founder of the Music Festival of Segura, which takes place in the Sierra de Segura in Jaén.

He studied Computer Science and Advertising at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he also took classes related to physics. After leaving school, he worked at various news agencies and advertising agencies until 2008, when Paramount Comedy accepted a monologue he wrote for the programme Nuevos cómicos. That marked the beginning of his comedy career, which has ranged from live stand-up to performances on radio and television, eventually hosting and directing his own programmes both in radio and television.

His main comedic influences include the series Monty Python's Flying Circus and La hora chanante.

He was an amateur football player in his youth and is a fan of and plays a variety of sports, including tennis (his idol is Roger Federer), skiing and mountaineering.

Later, between 2020 and 2021, he was dating tennis player Paula Badosa.

Since 2021, he has been in a relationship with actress Silvia Alonso.

Career In 2008, he began as a stand-up comedian at Paramount Comedy, having been a collaborator on Cuatro's satirical programme Estas no son las noticias. In 2011 he began working as a collaborator on Hoy por hoy, on Cadena SER, with a section called Broncano's Questions, a style which has had a legacy on his shows La Resistencia and La Revuelta. He has appeared on from 2013. His real success came on the radio, essentially on the shows Yu: No te pierdas nada and Anda ya. He achieved greater success from 2014 with the program La vida moderna, on Cadena SER, which he directed together with Ignatius Farray and Quequé, and for which they won the Ondas award for best radio program in 2018.

La vida moderna 's success led him to swap to the programme Late Motiv on #0, hosted by Andreu Buenafuente, as a regular collaborator. When Broncano stood in for Buenafuente, he received critical and viewer plaudits. Broncano's success led him to be given his own show, LocoMundo, and he later started his own show La Resistencia, broadcast directly after LocoMundo, which won Best Entertainment Programme at the Premios Ondas in 2019.

In April 2024, Broncano was signed by TVE to broadcast La revuelta, to critical and viewer acclaim. The show went up against El Hormiguero, which had led the timeslot for ten years straight, and beat its competitor on its second day on air. While ratings dipped significantly in the first half of 2025, Broncano mentioned that TVE felt that the show's ratings justified the network taking a gamble on signing him. He also led TVE's coverage of the New Year bells for 2024/25, together with La Revuelta collaborator Lalachus, to ratings success.

Controversy On 1 July 2010 a controversy arose after he starred in a parody sketch on the programme UAU! in which he played a poor Paraguayan girl named Sunilda Estuardo who spoke about her life and urged Spain's national men's football team to let her country's team win in order to bring 'a little happiness to the poor children'. This occurred prior to the quarterfinal of the 2010 FIFA World Cup which took place two days later, between Paraguay and Spain.

At the end of the video, Broncano - as Pedro M. Estuardo - addressed the Spanish men's team, saying: 'the death of thousands of millions of Paraguayan girls is in your hands'.

The next day, Paraguay's Secretaría de la Niñez y de la Adolescencia (Secretary of childhood and adolescence) and various Paraguayan media organisations reacted with indignation, which led to the Spanish ambassador to Paraguay, Miguel Ángel Cortizo, publicly apologising.
