After a year marked by the Anjos vs. Joana Marques, the acquitted comedian, is on tour presenting “Em Sede Própria”. Back to Humor À Primeira Vista, with Gustavo Carvalho, she reveals that she already had the rooms reserved for this new show before the trial began and comments on Cristina Ferreira’s recent statements, highlighting that the presenter “has a complicated relationship with freedom of expression”
On October 3, 2025, we heard the ruling in the extensive case Anjos vs. Joana Marques. The band sued the comedian for more than 1 million euros based on a humorous video published on social media. At issue was the interpretation of the national anthem by the Rosado brothers, at a MotoGP race in Portimão, interspersed with reactions from the jury of the “Ídolos” program, to which Joana Marques belonged.
The singers claimed that the video spread misinformation, manipulated the performance and held them responsible for the comments and material damage. In the end, there was total acquittal. Sérgio and Nelson ended up just drawing attention to a video that had already been forgotten by the general public and the sentence made it clear that “it was not proven that it was the Defendant’s publication that gave rise to the controversy that affected the lives and businesses” of the plaintiffs.
The sentence was tainted only because it was proven that Joana Marques is an influencer and also a “radiologist”. Facts that he will try to recover in his new show, “Em Sede Própria”. He is already traveling around the country telling his side of this process: between Porto and Lisbon alone there are more than 17 sold-out sessions in large venues in the cities.
In Humor À Primeira Vista, with Gustavo Carvalho, she reveals that she already had rooms reserved to present “Em Sede Própria” before starting the trial with the Anjos, promises to do a project with her friend Bumba na Fofinha “even if in retirement” and comments for the first time on Cristina Ferreira’s recent controversial statements, highlighting that the presenter “has a complicated relationship with freedom of expression” and that she finds “a kind of machismo” in several of her interventions.
Gustavo Carvalho interviews people for whom comedy is both a passion and a profession. Sometimes it opens the door to conversations about other cultural topics that excite you, be it theater, music, digital, television or cinema. The comedy, art and culture that are about to happen, every Tuesday at Humor At First Sight. Listen to more episodes here:
