This dissertation discusses the rhetorical construction of comicality in theatrical plays. For this purpose, this study aims at investigating rhetorical strategies that emphasize the comical effect of skit “A encalhada” (The Spinster), by Ingrid Guimarães and Aloísio de Abreu — one of the nine scenes that make up the show "Cócegas” (EMI, 2004), interpreted by Brazilian actresses Heloísa Périssé and Ingrid Guimarães. The theoretical framework for this study is provided mainly by Ancient Rhetorical Treatises (ARISTOTLE, 1991, 2000a, 2005; CICERO, 1950, 1991; QUINTILIAN, 1836); by the studies on New Rhetoric (PERELMAN; OLBRECHTS-TYTECA, 1996; REBOUL, 1998; MEYER, 1994, 2007a, 2007b); and by works on comedy (FRYE, 1973; MENDES, 2008). After the analysis of verbal and non-verbal components of this skit, we can see that some recurring expression techniques such as dysphemism, repetition and allusion; and the constitution of the anxious and immoderate personality of the protagonist are fundamental strategies to produce the comic effect in “A Encalhada”. Moreover, the interaction between different means of rhetoric in the skit causes euphoric passions such as trust and sympathy, as well as dysphoric ones such as envy to be aroused among audiences.
