A comedy festival in Portugal is currently giving people little reason to laugh. The 1st edition of the Lisbon International Humour Festival, Commedia a La Carte Fest, is being overshadowed by controversy, with several Portuguese artists cancelling their shows.
The most recent case is that of actress Inês Aires Pereira, who announced on Saturday that her show "Namastê" was being removed from the comedy festival's line-up.
The performer wrote on social media that "one of the names persistently defends ideas and acts that I consider indefensible." She added: "We cannot relativise or normalise a genocide."
Her criticism did not explicitly mention anyone, but the apparent target seems to be Jerry Seinfeld, the American comedian headlining the event, who has publicly expressed his support for Israel.
The Portuguese actress was not the first to announce she was pulling out. Also on Saturday, the comedy duo Cebola Mol, made up of Eduardo Madeira and Filipe Homem Fonseca, said they would not be taking part in the festival.

Today, August 30, Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox is celebrating his 83rd birthday.
The Celtic legend scored 277 goals in 589 games for Celtic, and up until recently he was the club's most decorated player with 25 major honours. He has only recently been surpassed by Callum McGregor (26) and James Forrest (28).
Bobby's impressive roll of honour reads as 11 League ***** les, eight Scottish Cups, five League Cups and, of course, the European Cup when he was part of the legendary Celtic side which defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon's Estadio Nacional on May 25, 1967 to become the Kings of Europe.
And as the Celtic Family wishes Bobby a very happy birthday, we take a brief look at the incredible career of a legendary figure in Celtic's long and illustrious history…
Born in Saltcoats, Bobby was the farthest-flung of the Lisbon Lions – hence the ***** le of his autobiography – Thirty Miles from Paradise. Bobby, of course, has remained a Saltcoats Bhoy to this day. In his book, Bobby describes an almost idyllic childhood beside the sea and, apart from his six-month spell with Houston Hurricane in 1978, he has stayed in the town his entire life. 'I had a great upbringing,' he later told the Celtic View. 'We weren't the richest family in the world, but I didn't want for much, although all I really wanted was a ball at my feet anyway.'

Josh Chambers: Joe Mazzulla says his goal as Celtics coach is to be forgotten "If the people around you didn't do what they do… I wouldn't do anything. The thing I reflect on the most is… I think you have to be willing to be forgotten. I think that's kind of my main goal." "I want to be forgotten about. Because that means after you… It was better. I think that's what it means to be a Celtic. However long you play, coach, work for the Celtics…" "Your job is to keep it exactly where it's at or bring it better. You cannot bring it down. If you leave and it gets worse, that's your fault. If you leave and they win, and they forgot about you, you did your job." "I talk about that every day with the staff. Our job is to one day be forgotten about because you did your job. It became about something bigger than you." "It's a burden and a love for being with the Celtics… But it's a responsibility. I think we could take that into our daily life. Can I leave it so much better that they don't remember me because the next person came and was better?"

In June, while the NBA Finals and the Liga Betclic Finals were taking place, Neemias Queta had the opportunity to show Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla around Lisbon, Benfica and Barreiro, where Queta grew up and played. What did Mazzulla tell him about what he saw in Portugal and Portuguese basketball? "I think he liked what he saw. He said there are people who can make it there if they really want to work hard. And I think he really loved Portugal. I think the thing he liked the most was the food. It was a good time. He came alone, but he said next year he's coming with his wife and kids. We'll welcome them with open arms," Queta revealed. As for his expectations for the Celtics next season, Queta expects them to "be competitive again." "People have already started saying again that the other teams are the good ones and that we don't have enough quality. But I think, with the group we have, the people we have in the locker room? And our coach?" — 8/19/2026 A Bola

Martin O'Neill and his squad have agonised over the defeat in Austria over the past couple of days, and that sense of disappointment will no doubt linger over the coming weeks.
However, there is still a lot of football to be played this season, not least a Europa League campaign which will see Celtic welcome Marseille to Glasgow and also head out to Lisbon to face Benfica.
Before any of those European ties, however, the Hoops return to domestic action this weekend when they play host to Falkirk and looking to make it three wins out of three in the Premiership.
Speaking at Lennoxtown today, Martin O'Neill said: "It was really disappointing on Tuesday night, but we just have to try and get over it if we can.
'It can be difficult in the immediate aftermath to take it all in and ***** yse your disappointment with a bit of time that's passed.'

As expected, João Palhinha's time at Bayern Munich has officially come to an end, with the 31-year-old midfielder completing his transfer to Benfica per a release on FCBayern.com.
The move brings Palhinha back to Portugal and to his home city of Lisbon, where he began his professional career with Sporting CP. After spending the past several years playing abroad, the Portugal international will now continue his career in his home country.
Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl explained that the club and Palhinha worked together to find a solution that suited everyone involved.
"We've discussed João Palhinha's situation openly with him and found a solution that we could all agree on. He's decided to continue his career in his home country. We thank him for his time at FC Bayern and wish him all the best for the future," said Eberl.
Palhinha joined Bayern Munich from Fulham in the summer of 2024 after establishing himself as one of the Premier League's standout defensive midfielders. However, Palhinha struggled to establish himself as a consistent starter and spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur. Now, his Bayern Munich chapter is officially closed.

Girona FC continues to invest in young talent with potential by signing Mauro Furtado. The Portuguese central defender, born in Lisbon on July 30, 2008, joins the red-and-white club and is tied to the Club for the next five seasons, until 2031.

With Portugal's U-17 team, he experienced a particularly successful period, participating in winning the European Championship in the category and later in the historic victory at the U-17 World Cup. During the U-17 World Cup, the Portuguese central defender was one of the defensive pillars of the Portuguese team. His defensive solidity was crucial for Portugal to lift the world ******* le for the first time in its history. His performances earned him notable individual accolades, being named the best player of the match in both the semifinals and the final, and receiving the Bronze Ball of the tournament, recognizing him as the third-best player of the competition.
Mauro stands out for his defensive strength, good positioning, ability to anticipate opponents, and remarkable quality in ball distribution. Despite his youth, he has demonstrated personality and competitive maturity in high-level international settings.
With his arrival, Girona adds a player with enormous growth potential and great future prospects, further reinforcing the Club's commitment to developing young talents with the potential to continue evolving within the red-and-white structure.

José Mourinho has given an exclusive interview to 'El Chiringuito' in which he spoke about everything. This is the second part of the interview.
"I haven't asked for anyone. I arrived after **** yzing the squad well, being absolutely aware of what I want. Looking at the things that happened last season and that you pass on to Lisbon, I wanted to come in knowing many things and behave as if I knew nothing. And finding a winger with one-on-one ability, aggressive, and who can play on both flanks (Diomandé), is not easy. I don't want to **** yze whether he cost 80, 120... I just say 'yes, I want him'."
"My player? No, he belongs to Pep Guardiola. He brings everything. I hope we can have few problems and a lot of stability and, if we do, Bernardo is a midfielder for me, but he can play as an attacking midfielder, on the right wing, anywhere... It has nothing to do with **** ing him away from Atlético or Barcelona, it was my conviction that Bernardo is Real Madrid level."
"There is only one Kroos and only one Modric. Arda Guler? I love him, and something similar to what happened with Luka will happen to him: you start as a '10', attacking, and in the end you'll finish as an '8' or a '6'... with his understanding of the game, that's the role Arda is going to play."
"How did he ask me to come back? First there were the rumors and much later, the contacts. Benfica means a lot to me and I thought I would stay there for a long time. When Real Madrid contacted me, it had the impact I want players to feel. When he called me... easy. I had no doubts. Returning to a club has a lot of meaning. When I returned to Chelsea for the second time. After so many years and so many coaches, you are the best and I want you to come back. And I came back."

In a recent report, A Bola stated that Sunderland have to improve on their offer to land Sporting CP winger Geny Catamo. It has been mentioned that the Black Cats have to launch an offer close to the Mozambique wide player's £52m release clause to land him in this transfer window.
Catamo enjoyed a good run of form at the Portuguese club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of productive displays for them in the final third. The Mozambique international scored eight times and earned five ******* ists in 47 matches for Sporting last season across all fronts.
The 25-year-old is currently among the most talented wide players in Liga Portugal. Hence, the Black Cats would do well to get him on board this off-season.
His current contract at Sporting will expire in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Sunderland to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer period.

Baby Adelaide was born earlier this month at a hospital in Lisbon. She is the couple's third child, joining their sons August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in 2021, and Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in 2023.
Sharing new photographs of Adelaide, Eugenie wrote, "Two weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we've had the most special, cosy and love-filled time.
"We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. Named after three people we love and admire, past and present, including her great-grandmother, who we hold close in our hearts.

Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares stirred some controversy with his latest social media move, while Porto are obeserving his situation closely.
The 26-year-old has been playing his football in Rome since making the move from ****** nal in the summer of 2024. The Portuguese international enjoyed a stellar start to his Lazio stint, before being hampered by injuries. Last season, he was omitted from Maurizio Sarri's starting lineup after making costly blunders, only to be restored later in the campaign.
This summer, the Biancocelesti acquired the services of Alfonso Pedraza on a free transfer. The 30-year-old Spaniard has done enough in pre-season to convince Gennaro Gattuso to grant him a starting role, especially with Tavares struggling with another muscle injury. Therefore, many feel this is the right time for the club to cash in on the Lisbon native.
As noted by several sources, including La Lazio Siamo Noi, Tavares has deleted every post related to Lazio on his Instagram account. Many observers believe this could be a sign of dissatisfaction with his status at the club, or a come-and-get-me plea to his suitors.
As it happens, Italian football journalist Matteo Moretto is reporting Porto's interest in the wantaway full-back. The Portuguese giants have already been linked with the player on a few occasions earlier in the summer. Moreover, recent rumours claimed Lazio could swap him with AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, but the two clubs have yet to embark on serious talks.

Princess Eugenie has just given birth to her third daughter in Lisbon, underscoring a reality that has been taking shape for years: she has built a life increasingly removed from the British Crown without ever breaking with the royal family. Her family and professional life are now firmly rooted outside the United Kingdom, even as she maintains the royal ties that have defined her since birth.

The princess has carried out official engagements, philanthropic work and patronages on behalf of her grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. But the birth in Portugal underscores how far her day-to-day life has moved from the institution she once represented. Eugenie now has one foot in royal life and one foot outside it, a balance the Sussexes never managed to achieve.
Princess Eugenie has found a way to balance an independent life abroad with her enduring place within the royal family. (@ Getty Images)

Benfica manager Marco Silva admits he watched on as Hearts came within minutes of a first top-flight **** le in more than 60 years so is aware of the dangers posed by the Tynecastle club.
The sides meet in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie in Lisbon on Thursday night after Hearts dropped down from the Champions League following a thumping 6-0 by Sturm Graz.
Silva, who left Fulham to replace Jose Mourinho as Benfica boss this summer, said: "I've been in the Premier League so many years and the Scottish league is something that we followed last season.
"I even remember watching the last game and the amazing story about the last game and the chances for Hearts to become champions after so many years.
"Of course, it's going to be dangerous. The atmosphere, when you arrive at the second game, it's going to be there for sure. But it's important to be strong, to show our quality, but also respect for the quality they have, quality in the last season as well.
