Rafinha Bastos

from The Comic's Comic Presents Last Things First

In 2011, Rafinha Bastos was named the most influential person on Twitter. Not then-President Barack Obama. Not the Pope. Brazilian comedian and TV personality Rafinha Bastos. Bastos has upward of 12 million Twitter followers now. He sat down with me during Montreal's Just For Laughs festival to talk about how his dreams shifted from journalism to basketball to comedy, how free speech isn't so free in Brazil, and how he's following in the footsteps of Gad Elmaleh and Bassem Youssef in making a name for himself as an English-speaking comedian, too. Bastos will have a new Netflix comedy special out in September 2018, while he also hosts Ultimate Beastmaster alongside UFC star Anderson Silva. So let's get to it!
