Humour en Résonance

Natoo’s La chanson de l’humour connects to the article through its celebration of playful, deliberately silly comedy—the same spirit that runs through many of the stand‑up shows highlighted. While the performers explore identity, family, culture, or everyday absurdities, Natoo pushes the joy of simple, goofy humour to its limit, reminding us that comedy in Paris today isn’t only sharp or political; it also embraces the pure, unfiltered pleasure of making people laugh with the most basic, timeless jokes.

At just 24, Emma Bojan delivers a strikingly original first show. Using her disastrous auditions as a narrative thread, she explores her Turkish and Armenian roots, her love life, and childhood memories with disarming sensitivity and bold humor. A rising star who sings, slams, and captivates.
Théùtre Lepic – until April 21 – 1h

đŸ§Ș Mehdi Djaadi – Raspberry Color

Following his “religious coming‑out,” Mehdi Djaadi returns with a deeply moving show about his journey toward fatherhood—medical tests, miscarriages, doubt, and hope. Through hilarious characters and reflections on masculinity, he offers a luminous, human, and generous performance.
La Scala Paris – until April 18 – 1h10

📖 Louis Cattelat – Arecibo

With his gentle voice and youthful appearance, Louis Cattelat surprises with a mature, finely crafted debut. He reflects on the words we say poorly, the ones we hold back, and the idea of transmission, using the Arecibo radio telescope as a metaphor. A sensitive, poetic, and sharply written show.
Théùtre de l’Atelier – March 10 to May 7 – 1h15

đŸ§Œ Umut Köker – Paradox

Umut Köker plays with the contrast between his imposing appearance and the softness of his humor. He talks about growing up in the suburbs, clichés about his Turkish and Kurdish origins, racism, and even male grooming, with a natural comedic instinct and a sharp pen.
Le MĂ©tropole – until May 1 – 1h10

đŸ“± Akim Omiri – Context

Akim Omiri, known for his incisive radio chronicles, delivers a show that is funny, bold, and politically charged. He skewers online hatred, cancel culture, consumerism, and education, and shines brightest when he tackles political arrogance and the urgency of saving the healthcare system.

đŸ©Č MickaĂ«l DĂ©lis – The Underpants Party, or The Pipe of Power

La Scala Paris – until April 15 – 1h15

🌼 Alexis Le Rossignol – The Meaning of Life

With his deadpan charm, Alexis Le Rossignol delivers an hour of whimsical reflections and absurd anecdotes—his indecisiveness, his time making crĂȘpes in Mexico, or his parents’ chaotic use of WhatsApp. A gentle, simple, and delightfully funny show.
Théùtre GaĂźtĂ© Rive Gauche – until June 27 – 1h15

⚖ NoĂ©mie de Lattre – The Harmony of Genders

Accompanied by three musician‑singers, NoĂ©mie de Lattre offers a rock‑infused, humorous, and sensitive show about love and relationships in the post‑#MeToo era. She dismantles gender expectations and celebrates vulnerability as a path to connection.

Théùtre du Marais – until March 28 – 1h05

đŸ€Ą Julien Santini

Julien Santini fully embraces his identity as a modern clown—wild, unpredictable, and irresistibly funny. Between chaotic improvisations and confessions about his mixed origins, he breaks away from the usual stand‑up formulas with explosive originality.

đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§â€đŸ‘Š ThaĂŻs – Joy Girl

Live Out Laughter

The Playful Shift in Paris Comedy
Paris’s comedy scene is moving toward a looser, more inventive form of stand‑up, where performers mix sharp writing with personal quirks, cultural references, and unexpected formats, creating a landscape that feels more exploratory than ever—less about perfect punchlines, more about testing ideas, bending genres, and letting audiences feel the thrill of something being created right in front of them.
