Nino Arial « Pas comme eux »

Nino Arial shaped Pas comme eux through direct contact with the audience. A comedian and improviser, he builds his set by blending written material with spontaneous exchanges, starting from the stories that arise in the room and letting the show evolve over the course of the evening. Coming from video, he gradually moved his playground to the stage, with writing rooted in everyday life and a keen eye for observation that fuels his asides and digressions.

On September 11, 2027, at the Palais des Congrès in Tours, he extends this participatory approach: conversations with the audience, prompts, improvised detours, then a return to the show’s main thread when necessary. Pas comme eux traces his journey from former executive to actor and tackles themes that have accompanied him from the start: social norms, school, work, relationships, and that need to carve out his own path without putting on a role. Those who discovered him through his videos will recognize his preferred subjects and his way of involving spectators at the heart of the performance; those seeing him for the first time will find a lively stand-up show, fed by the moment and by the energy of the room.
