Patson « Baltazar »

Patson presents Baltazar, an American-style stand-up in spirit—direct and unvarnished. On March 20, 2026, he takes the stage at the République in Paris to roll out a new set where observations of everyday life intersect with cultural clashes. Born in Côte d’Ivoire and discovered at the Jamel Comedy Club in 2006, the comedian has crafted a highly conversational style, driven by his gift of the gab, accents and the movements between Africa, the Antilles and France. On stage, he strings together sharp punchlines, feeds off the moment and plays up his closeness with the audience.

From the Olympia to his long stand-up sessions at the République, Patson moves forward with the energy of a storyteller and a well-rooted sense of rhythm. His language borrows as much from the street as from the radio studios, where he hosted programs for years. Baltazar continues in that vein: a mic, a frank stare, anecdotes that veer into sketches, and those signature gimmicks—from “yes papa” to his footwork. That’s a treat. A show where he dishes out jokes to everyone, without overdoing it—staying as close to reality as possible.
