Summary

Today on Unlicensed Therapy I interview comedian, actor, and television personality Rafinha Bastos. Rafinha stated his career in Brazil as a host for multiple TV shows until he became noticed worldwide after The New York Times named him the most influential person on Twitter. Shortly after opportunities came pouring in and it was through that avenue that Rafinha was able to eventually pursue comedy in English. On this episode we discuss how different not just comedy is in Brazil compared to America but how different the culture is too. Being born in Brazil, Rafinha grew up with much friendlier customs on how people, including strangers, treated each other. As oppose to in America where a bystander will more likely than not take no notice of your presence. Recognizing this contrast plays into how comedy is perceived in each country. In America audience members are more likely to become offended whereas in Brazil they are more accepting of jokes. As we continue the conversation Rafinha shares with us his experience of having a child who lives in a different country while pursuing his career and coming to the realization that he may be overprioritizing sex in his relationships.
