Oscar Filho, born Oscar Francisco de Moraes Junior on August 22, 1978, in Atibaia, Brazil, is a multifaceted entertainer. He has worked as a Brazilian businessperson, comedian, actor, writer, reporter and television presenter. His career began in humor in 2003, and he has since established himself as a prominent figure in the Brazilian entertainment landscape.
Since 2005, Filho is recognized as a trailblazer in Brazil's stand-up comedy scene. He co-founded Clube da Comédia Stand-up in São Paulo that same year, alongside Danilo Gentili and Diogo Portugal.

Filho’s creative output extends beyond stand-up. In 2014, he authored his debut book, 'Autobiografia Não Autorizada,' which featured a preface by Danilo Gentili; this publication subsequently served as the basis for his second stand-up show, 'Alto - Biografia Não Autorizada,' in 2020. He has also starred in the film 'Escola de Quebrada' (2023), produced by Paramount+ and KondZilla, which was nominated for an International Emmy Award in 2024, and the series 'Marcelo Marmelo Martelo' (2023) on Paramount+.
