Raphael Ghanem: A Carne Só Cai no Prato do Vegano

Raphael Ghanem brings his show A carne só cai no prato do vegano to Center Stage Theater on Sunday, October 25, 2026. It's a single-night stop in Atlanta, and the title—which translates to "the meat only lands on the vegan's plate"—gives you a good sense of the kind of observational, slightly ironic comedy Ghanem builds his sets around.

If you're not already familiar with him, Ghanem is a Brazilian comedian who's spent years working the clubs and theaters across Brazil, and this is one of the shows he's been touring. The title isn't just a punchline; it's the through-line for the whole set, and the material follows that same vein—taking a specific, everyday contradiction and pulling at the threads until it opens up into something larger. It's the kind of comedy that works because it starts with a small, recognizable frustration and builds from there.

Having him perform here in Atlanta is a bit of a rarity for the city's comedy scene, which doesn't often get Brazilian stand-up on a dedicated theater stage. If you've followed his work or just enjoy comedy that leans into the absurdities of daily life, this is a good chance to see him in person. The show is performed in Portuguese, so it's a night that'll resonate most with the local Brazilian community and anyone who speaks the language.

The show starts at 7:30 PM at Center Stage Theater, so you'll want to be in your seat by then. Tickets are available through Live Nation.
