Comedians born in Belo Horizonte

Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais, was one of Brazil's first planned cities, laid out in the 1890s, and now anchors the country's third-largest metropolitan area. Ringed by mountains and known for its bar culture, Minas cuisine and the modernist Pampulha complex designed by Oscar Niemeyer, it is a big and sociable city.

Belo Horizonte sustains a lively stand-up comedy scene, with clubs and touring shows a regular feature, home to comedians Tutuca, Nany People and Bruno Motta.
