Comedians born in Campina Grande

Campina Grande lies in the interior of Paraíba, high and comparatively cool on the Borborema plateau, and serves as a university and technology centre for the region around it. It is known across Brazil for its São João festival each June, one of the largest in the country, a celebration of forró music and northeastern culture.

Students and that festival culture give the city an audience for live performance, and Brazilian stand-up has been growing on it. Lucas Henrique Veloso was born here.
