⭐ Rated 4.9/5 on Google and TripAdvisor (200+ reviews)
FREE ENTRY standup comedy showcase featuring only pro comedians, in a historic and intimate venue in the city center. Most Saturdays at Xafarix.
Saturday evening. You've had your week. Now arrive early, grab a drink at the bar, settle into the intimate jazz club atmosphere of one of Lisbon's most beautiful hidden bars. There's a secretive speakeasy vibe to the bar and its entrance — you'll feel it the moment you walk in. Low lights, good drinks, the kind of place where you just exhale.
At 9pm, the show begins — a carefully curated selection of the best comedians from the local Lisbon scene and special guests from around the world. These are longer sets by experienced comedians, which means you really get to know their comedy, their style, their worldview. It's diverse, multicultural comedy all in English — the kind of show where every comedian on the bill could headline their own night somewhere else.
No open mic. No newcomers. It’s the best comics in town this weekend, in a room that was made for it.
📍 Xafarix — look for the purple glow to the right of the fountain. A historic venue tucked away in the heart of the city.
