Versatile and with his own unique style, Nuno is a blend of youth and charisma capable of entertaining audiences of all ages. "Back home", as he himself would say, Nuno Lacerda brings a new and irreverent show, as he has accustomed the audience in Esposende, with his bold and insightful humour. This time, he will be the host for the evening.

Miro Vemba, a charismatic 27-year-old, began his comedy career in 2018 in Angola.

He has performed alongside big names such as Joel Ricardo Santos, João Seabra, Miguel 7 Estacas, and is also the opening act for the solo shows "Lado Positivo" and “X” by fellow comedian Hugo Sousa. He has graced stages such as Pi100Pé and Palco Comédia do Marés Vivas, and also won the "Novos Talentos" (New Talents) contest organised by I Am Humor.
