NelsonsComedy

With no one to blame but himself, chirpy foreigner Nelson de Gouveia hit the London comedy circuit late in 2008 and has become quietly known as a solid little opener and an adaptive compére that sets a good mood for the entire night he plays in.

Born in Venezuela to a native Portuguese family, grew up in South Africa and living in London for 12 years, the videogames producer lives in North London with fellow comics and performs frequently for small open-mic venues all over the city, placing his apparent arrogance on the table and persuades the audience that some socially inadequate men with an accent better that most English-speakers can make a room full of people laugh.

He currently holds a residency at the Hope & Anchor in Islington, London, every Thursday and Friday for both Laughing Horse and Comedy Point, either hosting or trying out new material.
