Rafinha Bastos: A Arte do Insulto

Após 4 anos de apresentações lotadas por todo o país, Rafinha Bastos lança o DVD de seu primeiro show solo de stand-up comedy: A Arte do Insulto. No espetáculo que o projetou, Rafinha destila humor e muita polêmica. O ator judeu e gaúcho não poupa as próprias raízes – e nem as alheias. Em cima de um palco, apenas um microfone, um banco, muito sarcasmo e ironia. Rafinha Bastos diz o que pensa, em um show sem frescura, sem censura e sem limite. Ah… e nos extras, um documentário de 30 minutos com o primeiro show do comediante em sua cidade natal: Porto Alegre. Muito legal! Pelo menos foi o que ele e três carpinteiros suecos disseram.
