UMUT KÖKER

As he says himself: "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 "head of turk", because the thirty-year-old is not far from a "paradox".
"Paradox". With his sharp pen and a view of the world that is as gentle, sensitive and tender as it is lucid, he delivers a show that is both hilarious and poignant.

A clever mix of personal accounts of his Turkish and Kurdish origins, his childhood in a tower block in the suburbs and his arrival in a building at La Défense, his celibacy and the racism that surrounds him, "Paradoxe", his first show, argues for the need to go beyond appearances. With his disarming finesse and undeniable natural comic talent, Umut Köker is the revelation of the new season.
