Comedians born in João Pessoa

João Pessoa is the capital of Paraíba and one of Brazil's greenest cities, sitting on the Atlantic coast near Ponta do Seixas, the easternmost point of continental South America. Founded in the late sixteenth century, it blends colonial churches with long urban beaches and a relaxed seaside pace.

As stand-up comedy flourishes across Brazil's northeast, this coastal capital hosts touring acts at its theatres and cultural venues, with performers such as Nairon Oseas Alves Barreto and Nil Agra among them.
