Julien Santini

On March 28, 2026, Julien Santini arrives at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris with a solo that weaves between stand-up and absurdist comedy. He draws on everyday life, strings together anecdotes and asides, slips in improvisations and sudden shifts of tone, all while cultivating a distinctly offbeat sensibility. On stage he plays the feigned innocence, upends the obvious and nudges situations a step to the side so they can be seen differently. Stories branch off, punchlines land where you least expect them, and the absurd rubs up against the real without warning.

His performance rests on silences, bursts of speed and exchanged looks with the audience. The crowd becomes complicit, invited to follow these backroad paths without a safety net. Beneath the casualness you sense a precise craft that allows the present, the accidents and surprise to enter. For one hour and twenty minutes, Santini unfolds a supple, lively narrative—part confidences, part derailments and self-mockery—offering an encounter that places the moment at its center.
