Thomas Marty

Thomas Marty is a French comedian rooted in everyday life — between student life, the early steps into the workforce and familiar situations. Active on social networks under the names Thomas Marty and Marty Étudiant, he mainly publishes videos on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, where he gradually builds an audience around short sketches delivered in a direct tone. Thomas Marty’s project is based on observational writing that draws on the codes of campus life, parties, flatshare dynamics and lectures, with a focus on dialogue and small social awkwardnesses. Over the course of his posts the artist refines an accessible comic register that plays on the gap between what is expected and what actually happens in the life of a student or young adult. This online activity serves as the foundation for Thomas Marty’s development as a comedian, combining the creation of formats tailored to digital platforms with the exploration of an “average student” character recognized by his community.
