Biography

About Lea Maria

Edited by the community

Lea Maria is a German comedian and influencer who found her audience in Brazil. Born in Fulda, Hesse, she moved to São Paulo to study anthropology at the University of São Paulo (USP), but comedy soon took over. Known by the nickname "Alemã de Cria," she built a following by turning her expat experiences into humor. Her material covers Brazilian culture, the quirks of the Portuguese language, and the everyday culture shocks she encountered. She has performed solo shows across Brazil and internationally, including spectacles named "Alemã de Cria" and "Alemalandra." Her self-deprecating humor about her accent, paired with a genuine embrace of Brazilian slang and warmth, resonates widely. Her Instagram following has grown to 1.7 million, where her sketches frequently go viral.

Lea's career took a serious turn in early 2023 when she reported domestic abuse by her former husband and creative partner, fellow comedian Juliano Gaspar. The separation drew intense media coverage. She has also used her platform to defend Brazil against international misconceptions, notably criticizing European politicians who made derogatory remarks about the country. She has faced occasional internet controversies over past comedic sketches, yet remains a respected voice in Brazilian entertainment.

Lea is 30 years old, a straight, Caucasian German with blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a total of six tattoos: three on her left arm, two on her right arm, and one on her back. She also has a nose piercing and both ears pierced. Since starting in 2017, she has been active for about nine years. Her humor is quick, her observations are sharp, and her connection to Brazil is both professional and personal.
