Luis Piedrahita Cuesta, a Spanish comedian, magician, script writer, broadcaster, and author, was born in 1977 in Coruña, Spain. He is affectionately known as "El Rey de las Cosas Pequeñas" or "The King of Small Things" due to his humorous monologues that poke fun at the often-overlooked details of everyday life, such as toilet lids and carnivorous plants.
Piedrahita's career in television began with his work as a scriptwriter for the Spanish TV program El Club de la Comedia, a role he held for three seasons. He also collaborated on the series Partners in Crime for Columbia Tri Star Pictures in Los Angeles, US, and occasionally contributed to the popular Spanish TV program El Hormiguero.
In addition to his work in television, Piedrahita has published two books: Un cacahuete flotando en una piscina (A peanut floating in a swimming pool, 2005) and ¿Cada cuánto hay que echar a lavar un pijama? (How often should you wash your pyjamas?, 2006).
Piedrahita's impressive list of accolades includes the Spanish Premio Nacional de Magia (National Magic Award) in 1999, which he won for his outstanding contributions to the world of magic.
In 2007, Piedrahita co-directed and co-wrote the thriller La habitación de Fermat, which was later released internationally as Fermat's Room. He has been working with his long-time writing partner, Roberto Sopeña, for over 12 years, since they first met at university. Together, they have written a script for the Spanish animation studio Ilion Animation Studios and are currently working on their next project, Golpe de efecto, a heist movie with a unique twist: no guns.
