Joana Caldeira is confirmed for the Comedy Stage on July 11th at NOS Alive’26.

She started doing stand-up in 2021 after being challenged by a friend. What was supposed to be just a hobby quickly turned into a second job. Since then, she has become a regular at the Lisboa Comedy Club, opened shows for names like Gilmário Vemba, Ashley Gavin and Rob Anderson, and in 2023, she performed on the Comedy Stage at NOS Alive. She returns now in 2026, matching the number of performances at this festival to the number of children she has.
