Paolini's repertory includes civil theatre. His performances usually consist of
monologues with frequent use of the
Venetian language,
irony and
satire. Inspired by
Dario Fo, he is an Italian exponent of
narrative theatre. Until 1994, Paolini worked with various theatre groups, including Teatro degli Stracci, Studio 900 of Treviso, Tag Teatro of
Mestre in
Venice and Laboratorio Teatro Settimo. Since 1999, he has produced his own works with his company JoleFilm. He has also collaborated with the Italian folk band
I Mercanti di Liquore, along with the lead singer,
Lorenzo Monguzzi.
