⭐ Rated 4.9/5 on Google and TripAdvisor (200+ reviews)
FREE ENTRY standup comedy showcase featuring only pro comedians, in a historic and intimate venue in the city center. Most Saturdays at Xafarix.
Saturday evening. You've had your week. Now arrive early, grab a drink at the bar, settle into the intimate jazz club atmosphere of one of Lisbon's most beautiful hidden bars. There's a secretive speakeasy vibe to the bar and its entrance — you'll feel it the moment you walk in. Low lights, good drinks, the kind of place where you just exhale.
At 9pm, the show begins — a carefully curated selection of the best comedians from the local Lisbon scene and special guests from around the world. These are longer sets by experienced comedians, which means you really get to know their comedy, their style, their worldview. It's diverse, multicultural comedy all in English — the kind of show where every comedian on the bill could headline their own night somewhere else.
No open mic. No newcomers. Hosted by Francesco Kirchhoff.

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."
