Patson « Baltazar »

Patson returns with Baltazar, his new stand-up, on 25 February 2026 at the République, 1 boulevard Saint‑Martin, Paris 3rd arrondissement. First coming to prominence in 2006 on the inaugural season of the Jamel Comedy Club, the comedian born in Côte d’Ivoire has since worked countless stages and formats, from the Patson Show to Yes we can papa, then Mon nom est Patson and Dr Patson, Rirothérapeute. His playground remains the observation of everyday life and the ties between Africa, the Antilles and France, delivered in a highly conversational, rhythmic language rooted in urban culture.

With Baltazar he turns the dial toward American‑style stand‑up: upfront, direct, with punchlines that land and a pace that never lets up. You’ll recognize his gimmicks and gestures — “Yes Papa”, his footwork, “ça c’est cadeau” — put to work in stories that riff off the moment and the room. True to the République, where he famously performed a stand‑up marathon of more than six hours in 2023, Patson blends improv, punchlines and a sharp sense of the audience for a dense, high‑energy hour on stage. See him at the République on 25 February to watch him fire off no‑holds‑barred jokes, unfiltered and unadorned.
