Haroun - Bonjour Quand Même: sharp humor back at the 13th Art

From November 7, 2025 to January 31, 2026, the 13th Art theater will welcome comedian Haroun, a well-known figure in French-language stand-up, with his new show Bonjour quand même. This fifth one-man show, which will extend a stage career marked by committed lyrics and chiselled writing, will be an opportunity for the artist to once again offer his singular view of the contemporary world.

In Bonjour quand même, Haroun would continue to venture into the slippery terrain of political, social and cultural current affairs, injecting them with humor that is at once absurd, dark and lucid. True to his style, he would tackle sensitive subjects without ever taking the easy way out, playing on discrepancy and silence, and relying on controlled speech rather than excess. Although the exact structure of the show has not been revealed, it is likely that the comedian will alternate personal observations, offbeat anecdotes and societal criticism in a pared-down format.

The show would be aimed primarily at adult audiences who enjoy thought-provoking, sometimes corrosive humor that questions certainties without trying to please at any price. Those who have enjoyed his previous shows or his online appearances would no doubt find his inimitable tone at home here. On the other hand, this type of proposition might be less suited to an audience looking for more consensual entertainment or light-hearted jokes. The head-on approach to certain subjects might not suit all audiences, especially younger ones or those unfamiliar with political irony.

With Bonjour quand même, Haroun seems to be continuing his exploration of humour against the grain, in a sober but formidably effective stage format, always faithful to his line as a committed author. For fans of stand-up conscious, this proposal could represent a stimulating opportunity to reconnect with a singular voice in today's comedy landscape.
