Marcelo Adnet

Marcelo Adnet, born on September 5, 1981, in Rio de Janeiro, is basically a comedy legend down in Brazil. The guy’s got this wild knack for sketch comedy—seriously, if you’ve ever seen Tá no Ar: A TV na TV, you know he just owns every scene. He’s not just hamming it up on camera, either; he writes a lot of the stuff himself, so all those clever twists and offbeat jokes? Yeah, that’s Adnet brainpower at work. Before Tá no Ar, there was Comédia MTV, and honestly, that show was a whole vibe for the MTV generation in Brazil. You’d flip it on and catch him pulling impressions, roasting pop culture, and just generally being a goofball in the best way possible. And then 2020 hit, and while everyone else was kind of losing their minds, Adnet rolled out Sinta-se em Casa—just him riffing on quarantine life, politics, whatever was going on, usually from his own living room. Dude’s not afraid to poke fun at himself, or at anyone else, really. His humor’s sharp, but there’s always some warmth underneath. He’s also known for being married to Dani Calabresa for a while, another comedy powerhouse, so yeah, Brazilian comedy royalty right there. Whether he’s writing, acting, or just improvising some bit about Brazilian TV, Marcelo Adnet pretty much guarantees you’re in for a laugh, probably a little social commentary, and maybe a couple impressions you didn’t even see coming.
