Monday 13 July 2026 – Charlotte Ferrato

Dive into Charlotte’s fascinating world, a delicate marriage of humour and poetry.

In her first show, having long worn masks like a true chameleon, she decides to take on the ultimate challenge: being herself.

On stage, she is overwhelmed by her imagination, as if trapped in her own game – to the point that some of her characters think they’re real! Will she manage to make her voice heard and regain control of what she herself has created?

She embodies a symphony of a thousand voices, unveiling a carnival of masks that mirrors our society. Each character represents a part of us – a little crazy, a little desperate – but all are chasing just one thing: love.

This show blends humour and emotion: an ode to loving yourself, for the love of others…

Don’t panic… or maybe just a little, because Charlotte loses control completely!

As someone once said: “To criticise people, you have to know them, and to know them, you have to love them.”

Thursday 16 July 2026 – Clément Karusal

At 30, Clément Kersual is trying, like many of his peers, to live up to the ever-growing pressure to be a good, committed and irreproachable man.
Born to a soldier father and a primary school teacher mother, torn between two different ideologies, he now knows that perfection doesn’t exist, nobody is right and nothing is ever black or white. On the other hand: everything is funny.

Monday 21 July 2026 – Rémi Marceau

“Certifié CoNforme aux originaux”, a no-holds-barred show constantly updated with the latest news.

A vocal and physical performance… a kind of impressionist’s stand-up… fast-paced and interactive… meet, in the flesh, the characters behind the success of the daily slot “Marceau refait l’info” on the radio station Rire et Chansons (1.4 million listeners)…

Thursday 23 July 2026 – Simon Noëns

After filling his bathtub to capacity several nights running…

After accidentally setting a council bin on fire,
After getting “sold out” stamped on a packet of artisan pasta,
After winning 1st prize in the Saint-Palais-sur-Mer Jokari competition in 1992…
Simon Noëns begins his final dates before the Olympia.

Tuesday 28 July 2026 – Jojo Bernard

After a successful national tour with “Sa M’Sul Tro!!”, comedian Jojo Bernard is back on stage with a new one-man show on the theme of travel.

Armed with his shaky English and having never been on a plane before, our lad from northern France set off in search of inspiration, going to “find the biggest oafs on the planet” on a trip around dangerous Australia and its neighbours.

From leaving his native north to readjusting to French life, Jojo Bernard recounts his hilarious journey in a half-sketch, half-stand-up format that is as absurd as ever, but with a new maturity that reminds us that, in the end, we’re always someone else’s oaf…

Thursday 30 July 2026 – Laurent Febvay

We all have our own Proustian madeleine, don’t we?

For me it’s the smell of basil; for you, your grandfather’s eau de Cologne or a Backstreet Boys song.

Those things that remind us of the child we once were.

And they’re all different.

We don’t share the same references,

We’re strangers,

But however surprising it may seem to you,

Tonight, for the length of a show,

You’ll see that I am you and you are me.

We’ve all done some brilliant job to put food on the table, like sorting curtain rods at Gifi,

Had a girl/guy who broke our heart,

Lost our keys before leaving for work,

Bought clothes when we had no money left,

Checked our passport 56 times before catching a flight,

Lost something 76 times when it was in our pocket all along,

In short, life – real life,

The kind that makes us human, the kind that reminds us where we are without forgetting where we come from, without forgetting the smell of basil.

Or your grandfather’s eau de Cologne, or a Backstreet Boys song. So come on, my friend, let’s laugh at ourselves – it’ll do us good!

Saturday 4 August 2026 – Basclo

A show for parents and teenagers to share.

How do you raise a teenager of the “TikTok and 4DX” generation when you’re a father who grew up with Minitel and VHS tapes?

A bit of a reactionary and frankly out of his depth in a society that moves a little too fast for him, Basclo tries to be a good dad and pass on to his son the values he holds dear.

“Like, basically, my old man just can’t cope with me. Poor thing, it all swipes way too fast for him. He’s such a boomer with his rubbish advice; like, he properly thinks he’s a life coach, it’s too much, so not OK, for real!” #Daron: a story to like and share with the whole family.

Monday 6 August 2026 – Manue

Obsessed with Brad Pitt? No, I’m much better now…

This one-woman show is a bit of a redemption for me, to prove that there’s plenty else going on in my life: my family life that reeks of Roquefort, my stay in the United States with serial killers, the start of my career with the Mignons, my persistent attraction to boys my own age – except that they are eighteen…

The life of a simple little woman making her way along that long motorway called life… A woman ready to pull over to help out that hitchhiker… Oh bloody hell, Brad Pitt…

Tuesday 11 August 2026 – Stan Benett

From international vocal performances to offbeat parodies, step into the world of this vocal chameleon!

Breathtaking impressions and over 150 voices: Barry White, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson as well as Johnny Hallyday, Maître Gims, Phil Collins, Julien Doré…

Stan sweeps you into a musical world where laughter and emotion meet.

Wednesday 12 August 2026 – Laurent Garbarino


“Confidences gênantes” is a meeting between a comedian and his audience – no mask, no overacting, but plenty of perspective and self-mockery.

Laurent talks about his clumsiness, his doubts, his attempts at “green” living, his relationship with being single, and his unusual journey as a man who laughs at everything, especially himself.

Beneath its light-hearted air, the show also tackles universal themes: the search for identity, difference, kindness and sincerity in human relationships.

An intimate, fast-paced stand-up show packed with energy and emotion.

Thursday 13 August 2026 – Mélodie Fontaine


Who hasn’t 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.

Monday 17 August 2026 – Marion Manca

After 12 years of loyal service with the French Ministry of Education (Éducation Nationale), Marion Manca decides to drop her school bag and take to the stage.

She was often told that being a primary school teacher was a bit like being an actress: either way, you speak in front of an audience. Maybe… Except that when you’re an actress, at the end of your working day you get applause rather than your teeth knocked out – well… normally! And if you’re going to be an actress, why not go the whole way and launch into a one-woman show?

Raised on the motto “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”, which her mother has drummed into her ever since her first baby tooth appeared, the former teacher from a priority education area (ZEP) decides to take the plunge. Like the diligent, conscientious pupil she is, she draws on the classics of the genre and revisits them in her own way to create this first one-woman show that is all her own… From her memories of school in the northern districts of Marseille to her stories from film shoots, by way of the zany, madcap characters she has come across here and there, Marion wants to share with the audience her mad desire to laugh about everything without making fun of anything!

Wednesday 19 August 2026 – Myriam Baroukh

After a tour all over France and several TV appearances, Myriam Baroukh presents her new show.

Myriam Baroukh talks about the need to tick Western society’s boxes: school exams, marriage, a permanent job, children, a mortgage… Her next step “is dying”.

A Mediterranean mother, she talks – a lot, too fast, too loud. “I know I talk a lot: there’s a Jehovah’s Witness in our building and he has never once rung our doorbell.”

Myriam Baroukh is “all the mothers in your life, rolled into one…” Mind you, you do need to know the song

Friday 21 August 2026 – Jean Jerôme Esposito

“En quarantaine” is a funny, intelligent one-man show, just the way Jean-Jérôme Esposito likes them.

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, drive him to break free from this sense of confinement and leave everything behind to find his 20-year-old self again.

In this attempt, peppered with offbeat situations, he will come to recognise a new maturity that allows him to write a new chapter of his life.

“What if you could change everything – would you?” To take up this challenge, the character gives himself the chance to alter everything, but along a path full of offbeat and very funny situations, he will realise that this new maturity allows him to write a new chapter.

Tuesday 25 August 2026 – Alexandra Pizzagali

The disconcerting monologue of a girl who is clearly not quite right in the head.

Through an acerbic, hard-hitting script, she tells stories and tells her own, with no filter and no idea how apt, extravagant or horrifying her words are.
“It’s all in your head…” she kept being told. It was time to clear it out. And to confirm to you that yes, you really can laugh at everything.
An enigmatic and surprising character in a one-woman show that is abrasive, intelligent, touching and extremely funny.

Thursday 27 August 2026 – Olivia Moore


I write for people who have already cried in the yoghurt aisle. Or behind a bin lorry.

Building on the success of her two previous shows, “Mère Indigne” and “Égoïste”, 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 would I talk about on stage if I were no longer ashamed of it? So I did it, and it turns out to be both hilarious and liberating. So much so that you may well want to do the same on your way out.”

Because one day, that’s where it all spills over: the pressures, the mental load, the family ghosts, the absurd expectations.

“Oui, je sais” is a show for those who juggle lucidity and survival, who laugh so as not to scream, who would just like to be taken seriously without having to set up a Zoom meeting for it.

It’s stand-up, yes: head-on, introspective, absurd, always human.
