Gus Horn: Electric Shower Thoughts
We love to bring some of the finest comics working in Europe and abroad to Lisbon.
About This Show
Brazilian-American comedian GUS HORN brings his newest show “Electric Shower Thoughts” to Lisbon for the first time!
What do you get when you mix a Brazilian upbringing, Austrian winters, American corporate life, heartbreak, immigration paperwork, and an electric shower that might kill you but gives the best ideas? You get Electric Shower Thoughts — a comedy show that dives headfirst into the chaos of living everywhere and fitting in nowhere.
In this hilarious and honest hour, Gus Horn explores what it’s like to be Brazilian abroad — where every country has different plugs, different social rules, and a different way of making you feel like you’re doing life wrong. From dating with an accent, to explaining Brazilian bidets to Europeans, to accidentally becoming a nuclear engineer before deciding “nah… comedy instead,” Gus takes you on a ride through culture shocks, career crises, and searching for identity in every airport terminal.
This isn’t just observational comedy — it’s a confession booth with punchlines. Gus tackles Brazilian family expectations, being homesick for food more than people, the silent panic of adulthood, visa struggles, corporate burnout, and the emotional rollercoaster of trying to find love when you're still figuring yourself out.
Electric Shower Thoughts is for anyone who’s ever felt out of place, switched careers out of existential dread, loved the wrong person, or tried to explain to their mom that comedy is a job. It’s personal, global, funny, and painfully relatable.

What People Say
"Great spot to listen to some English language comedy. The owner and host is very interactive and funny. Love the place and will definitely be back. And highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of stand up."
"Great comedy club, intimate, and highly entertaining. This Lisbon gem should be a staple of the nightlife as it is a fantastic venue and the artists have been very good on our visits. Highly recommend!"
"I had loads of fun at their Friday night show. The venue is very cool, ran by and for comedians. This is a no brainer if you are solo travelling as the bar staff look after you and comedy is a great ice breaker when meeting people."
"I have been here twice now, and really enjoyed the experience both times. If you are looking for diverse, multicultural comedy all in English in Lisbon, this is the place! There is also a secretive speakeasy vibe to the bar and its entrance which is a really nice touch."
