Gianni Covatta, aka Job, was born June 11, 1956. Comedian and actor, is able to expand in all fields of entertainment, always achieving great success; the audience loves him not only because of its innate comedic but also for the extraordinary humanity and spontaneity that transpires from his way of being. Not surprisingly Job he has devoted himself intensely to a serious humanitarian work led him to become one of the endorsers of AMREF (African medical and Research Foundation) and later to devote much of his free time to African problems by providing practical help to accomplish the Foundation's projects.
His professional activity is intense and, as mentioned, touching almost all areas of artistic expression. He debuted in 1991 at the Teatro Ciak, Milan with "Parables" 93/94 season while Hyperbole, in collaboration with Greenpeace, brought to the stage the show "air conditioning" (from funny subtitle "and the whales like they're pissed ..."), which dealt with the theme of safeguarding a monologue of whales.

Third Millennium "). The 2001/02 season marked his return to the theater: he played with Emanuela Grimalda directed by Marco Mattolini comedy "Double act" of Australian author Barry Creyton produced by Teatro Parioli of Maurizio Costanzo. But job Covatta, we can't deny it, owes its great popularity in the first place to the small screen and especially at funny appearances made by that real springboard which is the "Maurizio Costanzo Show".
Before you set foot in the Parioli Theatre, however, Covatta had already made his television debut in 1987 with the beautiful gavetta weekly programme "a night at the Odeon" (broadcast on Odeon Tv). The following season saw him instead engaged in even three transmissions of BBC two: "place your bets", "who's there" and "tiramisu". In 1989 is still on Odeon Tv with the program "Spartacus and Telemeno", before he was called the next year from Pygmalion par excellence which is Chaos. However they are also other programs that they want: "Bananas" and "Seventh ring" on Telemontecarlo, the sitcom "Andy and Norman" on side of Zamir and Gaspare on Channel 5, "Dido" and "one Sunday-Mania" on Italy 1 and so on.

Finally, it must not be forgotten its editorial production, since job Covatta is one of the men of gold of the charts, one of the first comedians to sell millions of copies with one of his books (and in fact it can be said that the phenomenon of comic sellers starts with Covatta). In 1991 hit the charts with "Word of job" (Salani). Are more than one million copies, a figure unimaginable for any other book. In 1993 we see it back in the library with "transplanted Pancreas from paper heart", still published by Salani. A new publishing success came in 1996 with the book "sex DIY" published by Zelig, and extraordinarily returns of his first book "Word of job".
In 1999 she published for Zelig Publisher "Dio li fa e poi li cereals", taken from his lucky play.
