Comedians born in Barra

Barra is a common Brazilian place name meaning a bar or sandbar, the kind of feature that marks a river mouth or a coastal spit, and several places in the country carry it. The municipality of Barra in the state of Bahia lies in the semi-arid interior, along the São Francisco river system.

Giuseppe Iodice was born in Barra. Brazilian stand-up has spread nationwide, and touring comedians reach interior towns through local theatres and cultural venues.
