Life in Lisboa is an English Stand-Up show about what it really means to live in, visit, and love this city. Our comedians have faced and survived dating disasters, rental nightmares, cultural quirks, and they will tell it all! Performed by local & international comedians who were born here or who chose Lisboa as their homes, the show is part comedy, part cultural guide. The perfect night out in Lisbon with great food, delicious drinks, and fun vibes!

Recommended for ages 15 and above.

Doors open at 8.30PM. Come enjoy some drinks! The show starts at 9PM so please be comfortably seated by then, drinks in hand.

The schedule is kind of like this:
8.30PM - Doors open and we start serving drinks and snacks
9.00PM - Comedy show starts
9.45PM - Short break, drink refill, perhaps a sneaky quick snack.
10.30PM - Show ends and there is time for more drinks, laughter, and merry making!

Xafarix Bar, Av Dom Carlos 1 69, Lisbon, PT
The hidden gem of Lisbon's growing comedy scene.

⭐ 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. It’s the best comics in town this weekend, in a room that was made for it.

Lineup:

Hosted by Francesco Kirchhoff

Featuring:
Xinyi Li (10)
Joana Mendes (10)

📍 Xafarix — look for the purple glow to the right of the fountain. A historic venue tucked away in the heart of the city.

🕗 Most Saturdays. Doors 8:30 PM. Show 9:00 PM. Done ~11:00 PM.
