One man Show / One woman show

As he himself says: "I have a face that doesn't allow for long silences"... With his long beard and imposing presence, Umut Köker stands out in the stand-up scene.
But don't be fooled by his "scapegoat," because the thirty-year-old isn't above "Paradox." With his sharp writing and his view of the world as gentle, sensitive, and tender as it is lucid, he delivers a show that is both hilarious and poignant.
A clever mix of personal revelations about his Turkish and Kurdish origins, his childhood in a suburban tower block until his arrival in a building in La Défense, his single life, and the prevailing racism, "Paradox," his first show, advocates the need to go beyond appearances. With disarming finesse and undeniable comedic flair, Umut Köker is the unmissable revelation of this season.
