One-man/woman shows are becoming increasingly popular in the capital, as the number of amateur and established comedians grows. Would you like to see your favorite comedian on stage, or discover those who are just starting out? Our guide to one-woman shows is for you!
From comedy pioneers like Coluche back in the day, Gad Elmaleh, Paul Mirabel, Fary and many others, to up-and-coming talents like Lala, Ike and Tom Baldetti, comedians take to the stage with one goal in mind: to make you laugh. It's the perfect way to unwind after a hard day's work, or to have some fun at the weekend.
The capital is packed with theaters renowned for their comedy programming, such as Point Virgule,Apollo Théâtre and L'Européen. You can also attend one/woman shows in comedy clubs, booking some evenings for particular artists such as The Joke, Paname Art Café, Madame Sarfati... Unlike many plays, you'll discover comedians alone on stage, interacting with the audience.
