Er Conde de Guacharo

Bayou Music Center presents Er Conde de Guacharo.

Benjamín Rausseo Rodríguez is a Venezuelan artist, stand-up comedian and career humorist best known for his character Er Conde del Guácharo (translation: "Da Count of Guacharo").

Benjamín Rausseo was born into poverty in the rural community of Musipán in the state of Monagas. He pursued university studies as an actor and, in 1981, presented as his graduation thesis a comedic monologue "el Conde del Guácharo."

The "Conde" or Count became a TV personality and made Rausseo one of Venezuela's most successful stand-up comedians. Beyond comedy he was also a dare-devil and stunt performer in the television variety show Sabado Sensacional.

In 2006 Rausseo was studying law and was one semester from graduating with a JD from the Universidad Santa María de Caracas. Rausseo owns a theme park in Isla Margarita called Musipán.
