Sebastián Almada (born June 9, 1973) is a Uruguayan actor and comedian. The son of fellow comedian Enrique Almada, he is known for his work on the comedy television programs Videomatch and Showmatch, in which he has appeared since the 1990s.[1][2]

Born into an artistically inclined family, Almada began his career as a comedian on Uruguayan television. In 1997, he relocated to Argentina, where he joined Videomatch, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli, becoming part of the show's regular cast until 2004.[3] He later continued working on Tinelli-led projects, including Showmatch—the successor to Videomatch—throughout the 2000s and 2010s.[4] Alongside his television work, Almada appeared in various television series and pursued a career in theatre.[5] After settling back in Uruguay in 2021, he resumed his television career, primarily as a presenter.[6]
