98 - A Pioneer Of Brazilian Stand Up ft. Rafi Bastos

Help! with Natalie Cuomo

This week I'm joined by comedian Rafi Bastos (@raficomedy). We discuss when he moved to America from Brazil, pioneering the stand up comedy scene in Brazil, opening up a comedy club in Brazil, practicing gratitude, the humbling experience of coming to America, focusing on what you can control, romanticizing misery, the big cultural differences between Brazil and USA, the journalism TV show Rafi did in Brazil that contributed to the gratitude he has for life today, Rafi's experience hosting the Netflix show Ultimate Beastmaster, the first time Rafi came to USA in 1999 to play basketball which was the first time he saw stand up, being more confident on stage than in life, and so much more!
