Actor Brice Vidaud delivers a funny, sincere and deeply human testimony in his one-man show Surprise(s), to be discovered from November 21 to December 26, 2025 at Théâtre Pixel (Paris 18ᵉ), every Friday at 7pm. A personal creation that humorously tackles life's shocks, ruptures and rebirths, transforming trials into springboards.
This teaser introduces an intimate, benevolent universe, where Brice Vidaud plays with self-mockery to invite audiences to laugh at their own "life surprises".
Surprise(s) plays at Théâtre Pixel (18 rue Championnet, Paris 18ᵉ) from November 21 to December 26, 2025, every Friday at 7pm.
Synopsis: How do you bounce back after a breakup? How do you live with the absence of a father? And, above all, how do you laugh at things that hurt just yesterday? Through a personal account combining humor and emotion, Brice Vidaud revisits his "life surprises" and invites everyone to see their own trials from a new angle: that of letting go and smiling again.
Surprise(s) explores the moment when everything is turned upside down, when daily life cracks open and life reserves its hard knocks. Brice Vidaud recounts his descent "to the bottom of the hole" with a tone both tender and biting. His writing blends self-mockery, poetry and realism, transforming distress into comedy. The show questions our ability to get back on our feet, to find the light in the darkness, and to laugh sincerely about it.
Directed by Bernadette Thuriès, the play's uncluttered aesthetic highlights the actor's words and stage presence. The approach is direct and authentic, close to the audience, in a form halfway between introspective stand-up and autobiographical theater.
This one-man show is aimed at audiences looking for goodhumor with a positive message. Fans of personal narratives, resilience comedy and intimate theater will find a comforting echo. Those looking for more absurdist humor or fast-paced stand-up sketches may be put off by this more narrative and introspective format.
With Surprise(s), Brice Vidaud delivers a show that is funny, lucid and inspiring. Part therapeutic humor, part reconstruction story, he reminds us that it's possible to turn a fall into a springboard. A sincere and liberating moment of sharing at Théâtre Pixel.
