Q Channel

TV & Communications Producer — 2010–2014

I proudly worked at Q Channel, a Portuguese television channel known for its comedy and lifestyle content. My role involved producing a wide range of formats, including: sketches, TV series, variety shows, talk shows, teasers, promos, news segments and advertising spots.

Below are some of the projects I contributed to during my time at the channel.

Fábrica dos Pentes | Mockumentary (20′)

What happens when the director of a TV channel, after three years in charge, finds himself at odds with the very people responsible for making the audience laugh? That’s exactly what “Fábrica dos Pentes” explored: a fictional, satirical series about a channel director facing serious creative clashes with his team of eccentric, chaotic (and often infuriatingly funny) scriptwriters.

Set behind the scenes of a comedy network, the show plays with the absurdities of ego, deadlines, creative block, and the impossible task of managing humour itself. All wrapped in sharp, self-aware storytelling.

Isto é o Q? | TV-series (15′)

A tv-channel and a team of creative people who worked together to make the “show go on” against all odds. We got personal, we got confrontational and we got a little twisted. But in the end, all ended well. Or so we think…

A TV channel and a chaotic team of creatives are determined to keep the show running against all odds. They clashed, got personal, got messy… and yes, a little twisted. But somehow, the work got done, and the show went on. All ended well. Or did it?

Não, não e não | A Comedy of Conflicts (20′)

Three not-so-famous Portuguese comedians decided to join forces to create a comedy TV show. The problem?
They had almost nothing in common… not their humour, not their style, not even their vision for what the show should be.

The result: a format built on creative clashes, absurd negotiations, and relentless disagreements. Hence the name (and motto): “Não, Não e Não.”

Inimigo Público | Daily Satirical News Show (15′)

A daily satirical news programme that presented fabricated news stories inspired by real, factual events, each delivered with a humorous twist. The show’s format relied on parody and irony to reinterpret current affairs, offering viewers an alternative and comedic perspective on daily news headlines.

De Perto Ninguém É Normal | Small TV-format (5′)

A conversational format where two friends explore the peculiarities, contradictions and curiosities of everyday life, one dialogue at a time. Through spontaneous and relatable exchanges, the show uncovers the humour, frustration and charm hidden in the routines we often take for granted.

O Cómico que se Segue | Comedy Talent Hunt (5′)

We set out to discover the next big name in Portuguese comedy, searching for young talents with a true passion for humour, timing and storytelling. Through auditions, challenges and performances, we gave aspiring comedians a stage to showcase their voice, and maybe become the country’s next big comedian.

A Vida Real | Small TV-format (5′)

A documentary-style format that uncovered the hidden lives and untold stories of people with unusual professions and unconventional lifestyles. By stepping into their world, the show offered viewers a fresh perspective on the extraordinary side of ordinary lives, far from the mainstream.
