António Raminhos

António Raminhos was born in 1980 (a leap year, which began on a Tuesday and ended on a Wednesday), much to the misfortune of his parents. That same year, Sporting won the national championship and José Cid won the Festival da Canção (Song Festival). Some say, however, that the birth of little António was a form of divine compensation for the losses, in that same year, of geniuses such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Hitchcock, Vinicius de Moraes, and John Lennon. Thirty-seven years later, this theory remains unproven.
Professionally, he started very badly, aspiring to poverty, given that he was a journalist (at the newspaper A Capital and on RTP). When he found himself unemployed, he decided to try comedy. He first stepped onto a stage in 2006 and, who knows why, people liked him. Since then, he has never stopped trying to be funny. He was a columnist for Maxmen, became famous on television programs such as 5 para a meia-noite or Dança com as estrelas, and created a highly successful internet talk show called Banheira das Vaidades. Recently, he became one of the voices of RFM's Café da Manhã, with the segment "As Marias". The show of the same name filled venues across the country, and now a book of the same name has been released, which is truly spectacular. Despite all these more or less impressive achievements, the best thing he did in life was to win over his wife, Catarina, and with her conceive – it is said – his beautiful three Marias: Maria Rita, Maria Inês, and Maria Leonor.
