The Portuguese Kids, ambassadors of culture through comedy: “My mom still thinks, 20 years later, that we don’t have a job”
The Portuguese Kids are a comedy duo based in Fall River that create amazing sketches about the Portuguese community and mannerisms, bridging the gap between culture and comedy. Derrick DeMelo and Brian Martins talk with Tony Gonçalves about heritage, the strength of the Fall River Portuguese community and even share a secret way to teach English speakers how to pronounce “João”
20 years on, the duo’s sketches have travelled the world and even landed a spot on RTP, the Portuguese state television. On this very insightful (and funny) interview, Derrick and Brian share their love for their Portuguese upbringing.
Brian and Derrick also share their favourite Portuguese foods and reflect on their work as ambassadors of Portuguese culture.
