He works tirelessly to maintain his trademark purity. His addiction to live performance and audience interaction allows him to create an intimate relationship with each audience member. This unique connection gives him the ability to destabilize, surprise, and ultimately draw them into his world.
Through his stand-ups, Julien Santini transports his audience into a world of opposites. Gentle yet provocative, elegant yet unrestrained, he translates the complexity of the world we live in with accuracy and poetry.
