Lisa Perrio at La Nouvelle Seine: It’s complicated; I’ll explain.

Lisa Perrio brings to life It’s Complicated, I’ll Explain at La Nouvelle Seine in Paris, with performances running through December 18, 2026. This second solo show, co-written with Florian Nardone, is staged on a barge facing the Montebello quay in the 5th arrondissement.

The comedian brings to light a gallery of characters you encounter in everyday life: an art director, a gynecologist who dreams of the stage, and a fitness coach who is hooked on others’ opinions. Their words and their contradictions form the core of this humor show.

Through these encounters, Lisa Perrio also delves into the female experience, violence, and the longing for affection. A more intimate thread unfolds between the scenes: the story of a woman who longs for the love of an absent father.

The show lasts one hour. Parisian performances are scheduled at 7 p.m. on certain Thursdays and Fridays. The venue’s linked box office indicates entry is available to anyone 16 and up, with tickets from €17.50.
