Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire - Ivorian comedian Joël has announced his return to the stage after several years of absence with a satirical show titled "Oui, j'ai vraiment péché" scheduled for October 3 at the Palais de la culture de Treichville in Abidjan. The show is the result of a deep reflection on the changes in his personal and professional life, as well as the questions that are on the minds of society.

During a press conference held in the Cocody commune, Joël explained that his show is not limited to a religious approach to sin, but rather offers a philosophical reflection on the choices, responsibilities, and questioning that mark human existence. He stated that going on stage is about asking questions and answering them, and that he feels it's his turn to speak.

The show will be a monologue with Joël performing alone on stage for approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
