Julien Santini

Julien Santini, a French comedian, arrives at Le Prisme in Seyssins on March 18, 2026. On stage he moves between stand-up and offbeat comedy, with a taste for those awkward details that snag and for situations that slide just far enough. He recounts his journey, twists his memories, probes our habits, and sets up a dialogue where the absurd meets a discreet poetry. The pace alternates between confidences, controlled derailments and asides that open fissures and then close again at just the right moment.

Santini plays with the conventions of the solo show, stringing together ruptures and detours, sketching characters, coming back to himself, and nudging the audience to shift their point of view without warning. You follow the line, you veer off, you return. His material is written aloud, with deliberate silences and sudden accelerations that rekindle the thread. It’s his way of working: a humor that takes its time, with reversals tucked into the turn of a phrase. And, true to his sense of the offbeat, he’s careful to point out that he is not the author of this pitch.
