Sacko Camara Brings Parisian Life to the Stage in Stand-Up Show 'Up & Down'

Ivorian-born comedian Sacko Camara, who moved to France at age 12, has launched a stand-up show titled 'Up & Down' that draws on his personal experiences, including his arrival in France, romantic relationships, and work in cinema. After first testing his humor on social media and gaining followers, Camara was encouraged by friends who believed in him and eventually took to the stage. He performs the show at Apollo Comedy, where it is scheduled to run until December. Camara was a guest of Nathalie Amar on RFI. The broadcast also featured a segment with Catherine Fruchon Toussaint, who interviewed Valérie Fayolle about her psychological thriller 'Le 4è péché' (Récamier), which explores romantic and social jealousy. The playlist included songs by Josey and by Jay Z and Alicia Keys. The source is RFI's podcast 'Sur le pont des arts', published on September 10, 2026.
