Self

Comedian Whindersson Nunes brings his quirky impersonations and streetwise takes on different cultures to the historic stage of Teatro Amazonas.
I’ve never been to Manaus, but I’ve seen Teatro Amazonas in enough films to feel like I know its gilded balconies and the way the jungle hums just beyond its walls. It’s an odd place for a stand-up special—more opera than open mic, more colonial relic than comedy club. And yet, there’s Whindersson Nunes, the Brazilian YouTube star turned Netflix mainstay, pacing its stage like he owns it.
The contrast isn’t just visual; it’s the whole point. My Own Show! isn’t just a comedy special. It’s a performance about performance, a man playing with the idea of who he’s supposed to be when the cameras roll and the audience expects magic.

Nunes is a master of the self-deprecating pivot. One moment, he’s riffing on the absurdity of being a famous comedian in a country where fame is both currency and curse; the next, he’s mimicking his own mother’s voice, shrill and exasperated, scolding him for some long-ago childhood misdeed. It’s a trick he’s pulled before—turning his life into material, his insecurities into punchlines—but here, it feels sharper, more deliberate.
Maybe it’s the setting. Teatro Amazonas isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a character, a reminder that comedy, like history, is often about who gets to tell the story. Nunes, the kid from Palmeira do Piauí who became a viral sensation, is acutely aware of the weight of that stage.
Netflix Brasil spent a week in March 2022 posting about the room, not the comic. Carrara marble in the lobby. Scottish iron in the columns. Portuguese floor. French bronze on the chandeliers. 701 seats. The White Stripes once played outside because the house was full. Roger Waters, Villa-Lobos, Spice Girls, Milton Nascimento. latestnetflix.com's take is that Then Whindersson Nunes from Piauí, standing in that pile of other people's stone, doing impersonations.
TMDB dates Whindersson Nunes: My Own Show! to 3 March 2022. One hour three minutes. Original title É de Mim Mesmo. Renata Shoel directed. Whindersson wrote it. He is billed as Self. Netflix's English box still sells quirky impersonations and streetwise takes on different cultures on the historic stage of Teatro Amazonas. TV-MA. Personal storytelling. Irreverent. Goofy. The official trailer from Netflix Brasil is blunter. He makes you laugh while talking about depression and the pandemic. An immersion into his world he had never done in a standup hour. AdoroCinema logged a Brazilian 14 rating and the same 63-minute runtime.
BNC Amazonas said he taped it in October 2021. A little over an hour of daily life, the pandemic, depression, and the stretch when he vanished from the lights. Second Netflix special after Adulto in 2019, the one about marrying Luísa Sonza, starting out, and fame. After the taping he came back to Manaus and played Arena da Amazônia on 11 December 2021 for 30,000 people, billed as the biggest show of his career. During the oxygen crisis he and other artists sent cylinders to the city. The state assembly later moved to make him a citizen of Amazonas. Flixboss credits Shoel as director and lists the U.S. Netflix add as 3 March 2022.
UOL Splash pulled the lines on release day. He was 27. He said he spent almost six months doing nothing. No TV, no videos, no work. After Fantástico put him on a depression segment, every mental-health story wanted him. "What the hell is that? You being the name of depression?" His press team kept poking because an artist like him, stopped, means someone is losing money. The same stretch as surgery that left him a month unable to sit. He told the staffer he could not sit and did not want to talk. The only TV he would do was Faustão, both of them standing, him silent. Estadão got the Alok beat. The DJ kept trying to drag him out of the house. Whindersson told the room he said yes to a Girassol remix after Alok mentioned making about $500,000 per remix. Ofuxico added the Faustão gag and a veterinarian-brother truck-oil joke from the same hour. Metro called it the second Netflix special and said it was more intimate than Adulto.
Netflix used the theater as scenery. The gossip is simpler. A YouTuber who could fill a football stadium taped his second special in a rubber-boom opera house and spent the hour explaining why he had disappeared.
