Early life
editBruno Salomone was born an only child in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, to a Flemish mother and Sicilian father. His mother was a seamstress, and his father was an astrology-obsessed plumber.
Salomone described himself as shy in school, but he grew his confidence by jokingly imitating teachers to his friends.[3] He acquired a baccalauréat from Lycée Georges Brassens in the early 1990s. Unable to become a veterinarian,[4] he began composing sketches he performed at various café-théâtres. He also performed at Euro Disney for two years wearing the costume of Goofy.[3][5] He was featured in a 1995 promotional VHS for the launch of the original PlayStation. In 1996, he was on Graines de star, a French talent show where he achieved notoriety for his absurdist humor.[5]
