Midachi's Unbreakable Bond: Humor in the Face of Adversity
The iconic Argentine comedy trio Midachi proved once again why they are national treasures, blending personal stories with their signature irreverent style.
On August 8, 2026, the legendary group appeared on Otro Día Perdido, hosted by Mario Pergolini on Argentina's eltrece channel. During the interview, El Chino Volpato gave an honest update on his health, confirming he continues treatment for prostate cancer with an incredibly positive attitude.
An Unexpected Live Moment
As Volpato tried to explain his situation, saying 'we're managing, I still have prostate cancer', his partner Dady interjected with his classic dry humor: 'Yeah, he hasn't died'. The line drew the first laughs, but Miguel del Sel went further, delivering a surprise invitation that left everyone stunned.
'We're a bit messed up, so come to the theater because you won't see us again. Before we disappear', Del Sel joked, sparking a huge laugh and leaving a visibly shocked Pergolini covering his face.
The host, caught off guard by the comedic twist on a delicate topic, said between laughs: 'But is everything okay? I'm shocked, what do you want?' This moment highlighted the deep chemistry and strengthened bond among the comedians, who face challenges with a smile.
The Diagnosis and Volpato's Fight
This isn't the first time Volpato has spoken publicly about his health. Previously, on La Noche de Mirtha, he recounted how he received the news about two years ago (around 2024), just before starting a show with Miguel.
Regarding his treatment, he noted he wasn't operated on and detailed that during a season in Villa Carlos Paz, he traveled every morning to the city of Córdoba with his wife Mirta for radiotherapy sessions over nearly 30 days at a prominent clinic.
The Reunion at Teatro Gran Rex
The trio confirmed their long-awaited return to Buenos Aires stages. The chosen venue is the iconic Teatro Gran Rex, with performances on August 27, 28, 29, and 30, 2026. These shows promise to be a nostalgic, humor-filled final reunion, featuring the classic sketches that defined generations of Argentine comedy.
