Julien Santini

Julien Santini takes over the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris on June 13, 2026. A French comedian, he moves between stand-up and absurdist humor, with writing that leaves room for the moment. On stage he pieces together everyday anecdotes, measured incongruities and deliberate digressions, slipping improvisations into the middle of prepared stories. He plays with silences, shifts pace, cultivates self-mockery and portraits only slightly distorted. The audience becomes a playing partner, and each sequence can veer depending on mood and the room without losing its thread.

The show runs about 1 hour 20 minutes, mixing scripted passages and improvised moments. Between sharp observation and a taste for the offbeat, Julien Santini proceeds by feel, allowing detours and steering back when necessary. The setting remains simple, the energy flows, and the performance moves from small obsessions to situations that spill over, in a lively format fed by the present moment and the audience’s perspective.
