Nino Arial « Pas comme eux »

On April 22, 2026, Nino Arial arrives at La Cité des congrès in Nantes with his show Pas comme eux. Discovered online with more than 150 million views, he now chooses the stage to go all in. He stretches his short-form pieces into a long-form stand-up, where the writing gains breadth and the jokes engage with reality. He probes our digital reflexes, the small foibles of everyday life and the codes of group behavior, with a humor that prefers clarity to artifice. Self-mockery, a sure sense of timing, a direct gaze: Nino moves forward without a character or a filter, to tell the story of our era and its contradictions.

In Nantes he’s presented on a larger scale. Forget the scroll—this is about meeting in person. He brings what gave his videos their flavor—the gripping observations, the sharp punchlines—and expands them on stage, close to the audience. Pas comme eux unfolds over an hour in which he plays with our tics, our glitches and our certainties, keeping his feet on the ground and his head in the present.
