Guillaume Sentou - Un Mec Cool

Guillaume Sentou brings Un mec cool to Le Complexe - Salle du Haut

At Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, we are delighted to welcome Guillaume Sentou with his new one-man show, Un mec cool. Our upstairs room is designed for comedy at close range: sightlines are clean, the atmosphere is warm, and every whisper, grin, and aside from the stage lands with the kind of intimacy that makes live humor unforgettable. That proximity suits Guillaume’s style perfectly. He plays with timing, body language, and audience connection, turning everyday awkwardness into a playful complicity with the crowd. Un mec cool leans into his gift for character-driven storytelling—nimble shifts of voice, posture, and point of view—so spectators can expect a fluid evening where relatable situations snowball into finely tuned set pieces. In the comfortable, convivial setting of Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, his craft reads with striking clarity: small details become big laughs, and the rhythm of his set feels tailor-made for our space.

From Garnier et Sentou to a magnetic solo presence

Many in our audience first discovered Guillaume through the duo Garnier et Sentou and the television benchmark On n’demande qu’à en rire, where his precise stage instincts and musicality helped forge a distinctive comic identity. Since then, he has deepened his theatrical profile, notably on the stage with Edmond, bringing the same precision of gesture and quicksilver switches of tone that power his comedy. Today, Un mec cool finds him in a fresh, personal register—one that draws on everyday observations, bursts of physical comedy, and a keen sense of how to build a scene from a single, delightful contradiction. In our room at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, that evolution is especially palpable: the beats are sharper, the silences funnier, the callbacks more satisfying. Whether you know him from Garnier et Sentou or caught him onstage in Edmond, this new set shows an artist who has honed his timing and broadened his palette without losing the lightness and generosity fans cherish.

What awaits you here is a show paced like a conversation that keeps surprising itself. Un mec cool dances between affectionate parody and razor-clean punchlines, sketching recognizable figures—a harried friend, a performer with too many ideas at once, a neighbor who overshares—and spiraling them into comic crescendos. Guillaume’s knack for switching gears mid-sentence is a natural fit for the intimate acoustics of Le Complexe - Salle du Haut; you can literally see the joke being built and enjoy the payoffs all the more. Thematically, the evening toys with modern rituals—communication overload, social masks, the tiny negotiations of daily life—without cynicism, favoring curiosity over judgment. That tone pairs with an agile physicality: a shoulder tilt becomes a character; a pause, a sight gag. From our vantage point as hosts, we value how the show breathes with the room: Guillaume listens, responds, and lets the laughter set the tempo. It’s an hour of comedy that feels handcrafted for the scale and spirit of Le Complexe - Salle du Haut.
