Looking for the perfect Saturday night plan? Look no further! Whether you're a group of friends out for some Saturday shenanigans, or a couple looking for a fun evening out - this is the place for you. Even if you show up by yourself - we guarantee we will lift you up. Comedy is the best ice breaker and also the perfect aphrodisiac. There's no better way to start your weekend!
Laugh twice as hard than ever before! Saturday Splits brings together two of Lisbon's best comedians with one mission. TO HAVE YOU IN SPLITS!
The comedy scene in Lisbon is growing and alongwith that our comedians have more and more material they'd love to showcase in front of you. Join us at this special split bill showcase featuring two handpicked comedians from Lisbon's vibrant comedy scene. We'll add in some amazing vibes from our lovely hosts and this will be a night to remember!
The comedians will do longer sets during this split bill so that you can get to know them better and they can get deeper into their material. This is why unlike our other shows we limit this show to 2-3 comedians.
This week we feature two of Lisbon's favorite comics - John O'Keeffe (@johnokeeffecomedy) and Hugo Schepens (@hugoschepensdemelo).
John has established himself as one of the most exciting stand-ups emerging in the Irish comedy scene. Winner of the "Best New Act" Award at the 2019 Bray Comedy Festival, John has been featured on FM104 and is a contributing writer to The God Pod Twitter account. Praised for his likability, comedy writing and stage presence, he has performed on shows with top comedians such as David O'Doherty, Michelle Wolf, Joanne Mcnally, and Steve Hofstetter, and regularly gigs at the best venues across Ireland. In 2019 he brought a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and debuted a new show at the Scene and Heard festival in 2022, and again in 2023. He also brought two shows to the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2023 and is debuting a new show in 2024.
Hugo started writing Stand Up in the year 2017, creating content and bits for various comedians. He debuted as a comedian in 2019 and is a frequent presence in shows in English and Portuguese. As a comedian he is eclectic and seeks to connect with the public with the ridiculousness of everyday life and the search for new themes. He is absolutely perfect, although he is too humble in his self-description.
