Raul Augusto de Almeida Solnado GCIH OIH (19 October 1929 - 8 August 2009) was a popular Portuguese actor and comedian.

His humour was, at the time (especially considering Portugal was still under the dictatorial Salazar regime), both unexpected and fresh.

It included a lot of nonsense, and stories making fun of daily life.

His best material included pieces written by him, such as "Ida ao médico" ("At the doctor"), and others based on Spanish comedian Miguel Gila’s material: (“A guerra de 1908” / “The war of 1908” and “História da minha vida” / “The story of my life”).

They got me a huge private room, lots of space, very nice...and just to keep me company, they put eighty-five other patients in the room!Solnado hosted Portugal's first talk show, in 1969, alongside Carlos Cruz and Fialho Gouveia.
