Samuel Bambi « Machine ! »

Samuel Bambi returns solo with Machine! On October 31, 2026, he will take the stage at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès in Strasbourg. First noticed at open-mic nights at a very young age, and one half of the duo Younès and Bambi before joining the Jamel Comedy Club troupe, he has shaped a stand-up that blends observation of everyday life, cultural incongruity and vivid characters.

In Machine!, he unfolds what he calls “a heart beating beneath this beardless body”: a first-person account, threaded with self-mockery, in which he questions the times, family, social codes and his own contradictions. If he had to choose an image, it would be the Titanic’s orchestra that keeps playing as everything pitches. On the bill are everyday situations, sudden shifts of pace and digressions that always land on their feet. Samuel Bambi moves between sketch and confession, switches from one character to a punchline, and continues his solo journey without frills. The machine is set in motion.
