Félix Ringaby, 22, is the new standout of Romandy stand-up. Laconic yet razor-sharp, he returns after a season of writing and testing with his first solo hour in development. With a rare gift for structuring jokes, he mines the ironies of daily life through self-mockery, delivering bursts of conflicting thoughts with surgical timing. Already a Radio Télévision Suisse contributor and finalist at Montreux Comedy and Morges-sous-Rire, he was named “Nouveau Visage” for Juste pour Rire in Montréal and Québec.
