CHARLIE HIGGS
Charlie Dryden is a pale English bloke turned Lisbon local, spinning tales of dating disasters, awkward encounters, and life’s most cringe-worthy moments. Equal parts self-deprecating and charmingly tragic—because if you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re missing half the show.
WILL HUGO (HOST)
Will started his comedy career in Brussels, Belgium - where people have high expectations of British comedians and low expectations of British behavior.
Will once won a box of chicken nuggets for doing comedy and still talks about it. This is a 20 box we’re talking about, For a 5 minute set. Arsenal beat Madrid at the Bernabeu same night. It was fantastic. Is that enough?
