Rafi Bastos

He’s 6’7”, Brazilian, Jewish, and has an accent that sounds a little like Dracula. But the real reason you’ll want to meet Rafi Bastos? He’s seriously funny.

You might already know him from his viral stand-up clips. With more than 370 million YouTube views, three Netflix comedy specials, and regular appearances at New York’s legendary Comedy Cellar, Rafi has built a global following with his sharp observational humour, fearless perspective, and unmistakably Brazilian point of view.

Now, it’s time to see what happens when the clips come to life. Rafi has spent 17 years pushing boundaries in comedy, becoming one of Brazil’s most prominent comedians and one of the first to pioneer American-style stand-up in the country.

His career includes headlining Just for Laughs, performing at some of the world’s best-known comedy clubs, starring in films and Netflix shows, hosting television, and co-founding and owning one of South America’s largest comedy clubs.

His achievements extend beyond the stage. In 2011, The New York Times named him the Most Influential Man on Twitter, when he had 7 million followers, and in 2013 he won a Shorty Award for Best Comedian.

But this time, he’s stepping somewhere new. In Unfamiliar Territory, Rafi brings his worldly perspective, quick wit, and fearless humour to the stage for a night packed with big laughs, unexpected stories, and plenty of moments you won’t get from a screen.

You’ve seen the clips. Now come see Rafi live.

Grab your tickets and step into Unfamiliar Territory.
