Casablanca, your Tuesday night plans might have sorted themselves out.
French comedian Akim Omiri is bringing his show Contexte to the city tonight, and the internet itself is basically part of the material.
The comedian takes on everything from social media and cancel culture to conspiracy theories, political correctness and the increasingly chaotic experience of trying to have an opinion online without accidentally starting a three-day argument with strangers.
So, basically: a normal day on X.
But Contexte isn’t built around simply complaining that “you can’t say anything anymore.” Omiri uses comedy to look at how quickly conversations lose their context online, how people form opinions and how absurd public debates can become once algorithms, screenshots and outrage enter the equation.
That’s what makes the show particularly relevant right now.
A generation that gets a huge part of its news, politics, entertainment and even arguments through social platforms is constantly being asked to react to things immediately.
Watch clip. Pick side. Post opinion. Next controversy.
Omiri’s show takes that cycle and turns it into comedy.
And tonight, Casablanca gets the live version.
If your screen-time report has ever personally attacked you, there’s probably something in this show for you.
