Commedia a La Carte Fest starts this Thursday

The Commedia a La Carte Fest in Lisbon, featuring Jerry Seinfeld, begins this Thursday. The festival has seen lineup changes due to artist withdrawals, including performances by Herman José and The Umbilical Brothers. Seinfeld's participation has sparked controversy due to his support for Israel amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Several artists, including Inês Aires Pereira, have canceled their performances in solidarity with Palestine. Despite these cancellations, the festival will proceed, with new acts announced, including a show curated by Seinfeld himself. The event will take place across various venues in Lisbon, including the MEO Arena.
