Comedians born in Osasco

Osasco belongs to Greater São Paulo, the largest metropolitan area in Brazil, and is densely populated. It grew from an industrial suburb into an economic centre in its own right, and industry and commerce still set its busy urban character.

Sitting inside the São Paulo conurbation, the heartland of Brazilian stand-up, it lies within easy reach of the country's richest concentration of clubs and touring shows. Júlio Cocielo was born here.
