About This Show
Strong opinions. Nothing at stake.
Republic of Comedy’s parliamentary debate about things that don’t matter. Fight us.
This is 100% ragebait. A show that combines the civil discourse of an online comment section with the warm, harmonious energy of a holiday dinner with your in-laws’ cousin.
Tonight, you’ll stand firmly — the way the EU stands behind tethered bottle caps — behind an opinion that affects absolutely no one, yet could spark a prosthetic fistfight in a nursing home. Like whether cheese is overrated.
Two teams of comedians. Each team fights for the correct side against the wrong one. Which side is correct depends entirely on nothing. But you commit, the way Ridley Scott committed to Gladiator II. The best part? You CAN object. Once. But at ANY point. Will we sustain or overrule? Yes.
If your team wins, you’ll collectively receive a magnificent trophy we bought at a discount, its value carefully matched to the relevance of the debate.
Hippies said “make love, not war.” We say make war. Lots of it. No love.
Come angry. Leave angrier. Over nothing.
Comedy in English. 18+. Come early, grab a drink, and meet people from all over the world.

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."
