THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON
DECINES CHARPIEU
Tickets for Umut Köker – Paradoxe, Lyon Tour 🎫
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 let his "rough edges" fool you, because this thirty-something is no stranger to paradoxes. With his sharp wit and a gaze as gentle, sensitive, and tender as it is clear-eyed about the world, he delivers a show that is both hilarious and poignant. A skillful blend of personal anecdotes about his Turkish and Kurdish heritage, his childhood in a suburban tower block, his move to a building in La Défense, his single status, and the pervasive racism, "Paradox," his first show, champions the need to look beyond appearances. Disarmingly subtle and with undeniable comedic talent, Umut Köker is the must-see discovery of this fall season.
