Tiago Santineli

Tiago Santineli is a Brazilian stand-up comedian, YouTuber and screenwriter born on April 1, 1992 in Samambaia, Brasília. The son of an Evangelical pastor from the Assembleia de Deus, he rose to national prominence through acidic political satire targeting conservative politicians and evangelical religious leaders. He has been performing stand-up since 2017 and built a large audience on YouTube (900K+ subscribers) with unfiltered videos that combine social criticism with biting humor.

Santineli began his stand-up career in 2017 in the Brasília comedy circuit and quickly became a fixture in the capital's main comedy venues. He created, wrote, directed and hosted the weekly comedy program 'Se Pá Brasília' on TV Movimento, which became a ratings highlight during its broadcast period. His online presence grew rapidly through YouTube and Instagram, where he built over 900,000 YouTube subscribers and surpassed 770,000 Instagram followers before his main account (@tiagosantineli) was deplatformed by Meta in October 2025 following comments about the death of US activist Charlie Kirk. The same incident led the U.S. State Department to revoke his visa. He now operates a backup Instagram account (@tiagosanticristo). His comedy style is rooted in political and social commentary delivered with a confrontational, unapologetic tone.

Santineli tours stand-up shows across Brazil, with frequent dates in Brasília, São Paulo and other major cities. Following a wave of show cancellations in 2025 tied to political controversy, he announced free public-square performances in nine affected cities. His full-length comedy clips and routines remain available on his YouTube channel (youtube.com/tiagosantineli, 900K+ subscribers) and via his backup Instagram (@tiagosanticristo).
