Eduardo Madeira returns with a raw, deeply personal solo show after 12 years
Portuguese comedian Eduardo Madeira has returned to the stage with his first solo show in twelve years. Titled Grande entre os Assassinos, the performance delves into deeply personal themes, from madness and excess to domestic violence. Known for his sharp wit and bold impersonations, Madeira brings nearly three decades of comedy experience to this raw and reflective project. Born in Bissau during Africa’s Colonial War, Madeira spent his early years in Coimbra before moving to Lisbon. There, he studied law at the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Law, though his career eventually took a different path. Over the years, he became a household name in Portuguese comedy, appearing in popular shows like Contra Informação, Conversa da Treta, Os Contemporâneos, and Donos Disto Tudo. He also wrote the now-iconic catchphrase 'Onde é que estavas no 25 de Abril?' for the show Herman Enciclopédia.
Madeira’s comedic style is marked by his fearless impersonations of public figures. His repertoire includes mimics of football manager Jorge Jesus, politician Markl, chef Ljubomir, Donald Trump, and even Cristiano Ronaldo’s infamous bust. Despite his larger-than-life stage persona, he describes himself as ambiverted—equally extroverted and introverted. A significant turning point in his life came twelve years ago, when a near-death experience led him to convert to Catholicism. This period of reflection coincides with his last solo performance, making *Grande entre os Assassinos* a long-awaited return to the spotlight.
The new show marks a bold step for Madeira, blending humour with unflinching honesty about his life. It tackles heavy subjects while staying true to his provocative and satirical roots. Audiences can expect a performance that balances laughter with moments of stark introspection.
