Le Jardin Sauvage Comedy Club: a comedy set hidden beneath a Bastille restaurant

Show or restaurant, why choose? In Paris, Comedy Club restaurants are springing up all over the capital, offering gourmet fare with a healthy dose of humor. Among these good vibes-only concepts isthe Jardin Sauvage Comedy Club in the 11th arrondissement of Paris ( ) . The name probably sounds familiar, and with good reason: this is the successor concept to the eponymous barge in the 13th arrondissement. Founded by Wafik Kourdoughli, Jardin Sauvage now takes over the Bastille and awaits us in its hidden lair.

This secret garden presents itself as a Comedy Club-style speakeasy, and to discover it, you'll have to wander into Rue Boulle, where you'll find Caravana, a South African halal restaurant specializing in peri-peri chicken. It's in the basement of this gourmet den that a stage surrounded by plant walls awaits us, with seating for around fifty people. Congratulations, you've just stumbled upon the Jardin Sauvage Comedy Club.

You're invited to join us from Thursday to Saturday to enjoy the various sessions. The program features a line-up of comedians, from up-and-coming talents you'll want to keep an eye on, to more familiar names you'll enjoy catching up with! I might as well warn you: here, we laugh at everything, we throw taboos to the wind, and that in no way detracts from the good vibes of this Comedy Club, run by a dream team with the look of a big family. In fact, on Thursdays at 8pm, a special slot awaits the public with a one-man show featuring comedian Gaëtan Mathis.

Admission is set at 13€ with a free drink (soft, as the venue doesn't serve alcohol) and 6€ (still with a drink included) for open mic. You'll also need to bring something to reward the artists for the good time you've had: a hat awaits you at the exit, and you can pay by card or in cash.

With this line-up featuring artists from all horizons, you'll be able to witness the debuts of tomorrow's comedy scene. What's more, for those who'd like to give it a try, open mic sessions await you on Saturday at 5pm and 6:15pm.
