Nick Mukoko

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Originally from the Congo, Nick Mukoko is a comedian in his thirties who, if he is now a confirmed stand-upper, first had a great career as a dancer. It was indeed from the age of three that he developed a passion for dance, after seeing Michael Jackson for the first time on television. He then took his first hip hop lessons at the age of 13 in an evangelist church (Charisma) and, lulled by the gospel spirit, he dreamed of making it his job. It was in 2011 that this dream took shape, when he danced with Arielle Dombasle for a year and, following that, his career continued by accompanying many other artists such as Gary Fico, Yael Naïm, Lorie, the Stars of the 80s, Tal or even Shy'm. In 2013, he even joined the cast of the musical Disco for a 4-month residency at the Folies Bergères and a tour throughout France. But at the same time, his passion for the theater caught up with him and in 2012 he enrolled in a theatrical improvisation school. This is how he reinvented himself, starting with small Parisian scenes until his revelation by the Jamel Comedy Club from 2014 to 2017.
