In 2023, André debuted his first solo hour, What If, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received multiple 5-star reviews and was featured on The Telegraph's list of the Funniest Jokes of the Fringe. The full special was released on YouTube in June 2025.
He is the co-creator and star of Comedy Therapy, a live show and podcast blending humor and mental health, which became a box-office success and charted as the #3 podcast in Portugal.
He was featured in the BBC World Service Arts Hour Comedy Special (2024), and previously co-wrote and co-starred in a global ad campaign for crypto giants Bybit alongside Formula 1 champions Max Verstappen and Sergio "Checo" Perez.
Currently based in New York City, André can be regularly seen on stage at a number of iconic clubs including the Comedy Cellar where he's the first Portuguese comedian, and amongst a select group of Europeans, to become a regular at the club.
In his second hour of stand-up, André de Freitas’s at that weird time in life where you’re meant to become an adult. Your parents become people, relationships get complicated, and nothing feels black and white anymore.
A coming-of-age show about family, love, ambition, and breakups, it explores the quiet dilemmas of adulthood: old friendships, complicated breakups, and the uncomfortable gap between being an adult and feeling like one.
