Tuesday 1 July 2025 – Olivia Moore
Building on the success of her two previous shows, “Mère Indigne” and “Egoïste”, Olivia Moore is back with her new show, “Oui, je sais”
Building on the success of her two previous shows, “Mère Indigne” and “Egoïste”, Olivia Moore now declares “Oui, je sais”, a cerebral and very funny stand-up show about our (her) vulnerabilities.
“To write this show, I asked myself what I would talk about on stage if I were no longer ashamed of it. So I did it – and believe it or not, it’s both hilarious and liberating. So much so that you may well want to do the same on your way out.”
Tuesday 8 July 2025 – Jean Jérôme Esposito
En quarantaine is a funny, intelligent one-man show, just the kind Jean-Jérôme Esposito loves to offer.
The character, alone on stage, turns 40 tonight. Everything about him has aged: his body, his relationship, his friends, his ideals, his daily life, his desires, his outlook on life… This feeling of unease, and the urgency he feels on his birthday to steer his life in a new direction, push him to break out of this sense of confinement and leave everything behind to be 20 again.
In this attempt, peppered with offbeat situations, he will come to realise that a new maturity allows him to write a new chapter of his life.
“What if you could change everything – would you?” It is to take up this challenge that the character gives himself the chance to change it all, but along this journey full of offbeat and very funny situations, he will come to realise that this new maturity allows him to write a new chapter.
Sunday 13 and Tuesday 22 July 2025 – Xavier Clausse
Dive into the world of hypnosis with Xavier Clausse, the master of hypnosis on social media with more than a billion views worldwide. An evening that will knock you off your feet – quite literally!
You have already heard of hypnosis, and perhaps even listened to programmes about this state that people can be put into. After all, you either believe in it… or you don’t. Stage hypnotist Xavier Clausse’s appearance at the “1850”, with a fun show all about hypnosis, will let you make up your own mind.

Wednesday 23 July 2025 – Mélodie Fontaine
A show about real life, real people and their false pretences. A regular on La Bande Originale on France Inter.
Who has never burst out laughing watching someone fall flat on their face? No one. That’s why Mélodie has decided to tell you everything: her past in northern France, her clairvoyant’s predictions, her past lives, her attempts, her failures, her stumbles, her pelvic floor rehab. An ode to the glorious mess our lives can sometimes be.
Tuesday 29 July 2025 – Julie Villers
Let anyone who has never wanted to kill their mother cast the first stone at her!
A trunk lost at sea. Suddenly Ambre appears, safe and sound – but what has happened to her crew? And what will become of their mission?
In this burlesque, cartoon-like waterworld, Ambre the Red takes us on board a lovely tale that blends fear, nature, joy, a shark, resilience, a few seeds of ecology, a parrot, water, lots of water and, above all, a great pirate story.
Thursday 31 July 2025 – Jovany
A trunk opens… You climb aboard a merry-go-round at breakneck speed, heading for the land of imagination. Welcome to the attic of his childhood.
A secret place built and inhabited by his grandfather. A real clown who taught him everything: how to grow up, how to get up to mischief. In fact, the biggest piece of mischief he ever got up to was growing up… This versatile free spirit electrifies venues the length and breadth of France with a spectacular, breathtaking One-Performer-Show. This quick-witted creator of emotions tells us about his heritage, his northern roots.
A touch of nostalgia that also shows us that we are increasingly set against one another. He speaks of the sad mindset of humanity, of current events.
All those thoughts we impose on ourselves. Time that passes, and that we forget, until we become adults and miss what really matters… our childhood. Legend has it that he is schizophrenic. It’s not true: there are more of them than that… A whimsical, endearing, sensitive and off-kilter world.
Tuesday 5 August 2025 – Kenny Martineau
Kenny is a man, a real one! A far cry from male clichés, he hates football and beer. He prefers figure skating and cocktails…
The modern man – that’s surely him! Neither gay nor macho: in this show you will discover a sensitive man with a feminine side that is very present in every aspect of his life.
From a gently turbulent youth to an ordinarily stormy married life, for more than an hour Kenny pays a tribute, by turns funny and moving, to the women in his life – without forgetting all the others!
Ladies, you will finally understand why your little “charms” are actually called flaws. Gentlemen, you are not alone in your suffering… Come along: it’s also a support group where we tell each other everything! Kenny blows up sexist clichés one by one, owning with tenderness and self-mockery all his little “princess” ways, as he calls them, because, after all, a man is a woman like any other!
Thursday 7 August 2025 – Baba Rudy
You discovered him in The Circle on Netflix, now see him on stage.
Rudy is a bit like that old mate you haven’t seen for ages who has loads of stories to tell you.
Tuesday 12 August 2025 – Stan Benett
50% impressionist – 50% singer – 100% performer
Between vocal feats and offbeat parodies, between journeys and tributes, Stan revisits the classics of French and international music with humour and emotion.
A trip around the world in which voices and musical styles bring you sunshine, laughter and nostalgia. You will discover or rediscover his unique concept, in which he reinvents great international hits with humour and in French – auditory hallucinations guaranteed! You will never listen to the hits of yesterday and today in the same way again!
Thursday 14 August 2025 – Mickaël Denis
The true story of Mickaël Denis, who, from his hospital bed, creates Denise, a larger-than-life character… “His joie de vivre”, as he so often says, but also at times “his greatest embarrassment”. Yes, because Denise sometimes “goes too far and becomes uncontrollable”…
Le Parisien: “never has a split personality been so funny”
Tuesday 19 August 2025 – Laurent Febvay
We all have our own Proustian madeleine, don’t we?
For me, it’s the smell of basil. For you, perhaps your grandfather’s eau de Cologne or a Backstreet Boys song. Those memories that take us back to childhood, unique to each of us.
We are strangers, with different lives. And yet tonight, for the length of a show, you’ll see: I am you, you are me.
We’ve all lived those little moments of real life: a job just to pay the bills, a broken heart, a lost key, an impulse buy despite being in the red.
It’s what makes us human, rooted in the present without forgetting where we come from. And that smell of basil that keeps coming back…
Thursday 21 August 2025 – Amy London
A funny and disarmingly sincere show about the courage to say no and the desire to truly live.
“J’étais pas prête” is the story of a teacher who wanted to change the world, but ended up changing her life.
From the classroom to the stage, Amy London recounts her great leap between the French state education system, an unexpected release, a flight into the unknown and the maze of modern dating.
With sharp humour and biting self-mockery, she takes us along on her journey of emancipation, between tradition, social pressure and the quest for freedom.
Teacher by day, comedian by night… and then simply a comedian, she proves that it is never too late to choose your own path.
A funny and disarmingly sincere show about the courage to say no and the desire to truly live.
Tuesday 26 August 2025 – Canopée show
Already more than 100 performances in Paris and on tour!
Although everything in this show is music, it isn’t really an electro concert. A one-man show, then? Literally, it looks like one. A theatrical circus act? Boris Vigneron is an actor and an acrobat, so…
This unclassifiable show features Norenjiv, a singer-musician with his electro concept… But when his machines let him down, the show falters and everything is gradually stripped away. The mask falls, but at the heart of the growing unease, a more intimate relationship with the audience is born, in which the ordinary man reveals himself.
And when the show resumes, it plays out around the accident, peeling away, after the costume, the very man who wore it, until soon only the primal animal is left on stage…
