Sellig lands at the Olympia with a new show

Comedian Sellig is back on stage with a sixth episode of his show, as biting as it is endearing. On January 17 and 18, 2026, he will take over the Olympia for two performances in which he will ironically deconstruct the little annoyances of everyday life.

With his sharp eye for the absurdities of ordinary life, Sellig continues his successful series of shows with an eagerly-awaited episode 6. He'll be back at the Olympia on January 17 and 18, 2026, in a show that promises to be faithful to his vein: observations of everyday life, tasty family portraits and heartfelt self-mockery. The new show would be written and directed by the comedian himself, and produced by Audrey Guilhaume Production.

In this new opus, Sellig would continue to draw on the universal material of everyday life to extract a series of meticulously observed comic scenes. Among other things, he would recount his disastrous apprenticeship in the kitchen, his setbacks as he approached "cinquantetroizaine", and conclude with a vintage yet chaotic family Christmas, in the company of his famous sister and Bernard, his now cult brother-in-law. The show alternates personal stories, family caricatures and generational winks, in a fluid, rhythmic staging.

The show would appeal to fans of family humor rooted in reality, where everyone could recognize themselves in the situations evoked. Sellig 's strength would lie in his ability to exaggerate without ever distorting, and to create recurring characters that his audience follows like a series. Those looking for a more frontal or societal stand-up style might be less affected by this good-natured tone, but the effectiveness of his texts and the richness of his observations would continue to appeal to a wide cross-generational audience.

With this sixth episode, Sellig confirms his commitment to humor that's close to people, both keenly observant and affectionately caricatured. A rendezvous at the Olympia that promises laughter, complicity and self-mockery, to be shared with family and friends.
