After her acclaimed first salvo with Bon anniversaire Jean, Fanny Ruwet returns to the stage with On disait qu'on faisait la fête, which she will perform at the Olympia on January 2, 2026 at 8pm. Known for her caustic tone and questions that are at once funny, existential and pointless, the comedian continues her exploration of the paradoxes of the adult world, with humor tinged with melancholy and nonchalance.
One woman shows to discover in Paris
In Paris, one-woman shows are proliferating in theaters and cafés. A mix of personal humor and razor-sharp chronicles of everyday life, these shows by women are attracting an ever-growing audience. [Read more]
This new one-woman show takes the form of an inventory of doubts, micro-anecdotes and uncomfortable thoughts about adult life. How do you maintain a social life when you no longer drink? Is it normal not to understand anything about the world? Based on these universal questions, Fanny Ruwet unfolds a series of piquant reflections on loneliness, social relationships, repressed emotions, embarrassing gifts and the disappearance of end-of-year shows. Nothing is resolved, but everything is evoked.

The show is aimed at adults in the throes of existential confusion, introverts who are sociable in spite of themselves, and fans of absurd yet sincere humor. Those who have enjoyed her chronicles on France Inter or her podcasts will find the same pen here: offbeat, sharp, bittersweet. Fanny Ruwet 's humor doesn't seek out gags at any price, but builds a rapport with an audience that shares her silent questioning.
With On disait qu'on faisait la fête, Fanny Ruwet opens 2026 on a sweet, funny and introspective note. A date at the Olympia to laugh (and perhaps reflect a little) about everything we don't say, but that everyone thinks.
