Ideally located in the historic Marais district, the Point-Virgule theater has been offering cutting-edge programming in a warm, intimate setting since 1975.

The Théâtre du Point-Virgule, located in the heart of the historic Marais district , is a must for lovers of comedy in all its forms. Founded in 1975, under the name "La Veuve Pichard" and the impetus of young actors including Gérard Lanvin and Anémone, this theater has evolved to forge a reputation of choice for stage enthusiasts. What makes it special? A program focused on humor and one-man shows, making this venue a springboard for up-and-coming comedians .

Le Point-Virgule has a rich and singular history. Born with the ambition of being a café-théâtre, then taken over by troupes of comedians, its takeover in 2007 by Jean-Marc Dumontet enabled the theater to rapidly gain notoriety. Names such as Elie Kakou, Florence Foresti and Gad Elmaleh have taken their first steps here, testifying to the venue's importance in the French comedy scene.

Le Point-Virgule's programming is varied and dynamic. Every evening, the theater offers a variety of comedy shows, stand-ups and one-man shows. These performances offer a unique opportunity to discover new talent and spend an entertaining evening full of laughter.

Visiting the Théâtre du Point-Virgule also means immersing yourself in Parisian cultural life. Located in the historic Marais district, the theater is surrounded by art galleries, boutiques and restaurants, providing a complete cultural experience. It's a place where history and modernity meet, offering a unique experience to its visitors.

Beyond its programming, Point-Virgule is renowned for its warm, intimate atmosphere. With a limited capacity of just 110 seats, each show offers a rare proximity to the artists, creating a unique interaction and complicity between the audience and the actors.

To accommodate shows with greater capacity, in 2012 Point-Virgule also opened a second entity: Le Grand Point Virgule, located in Montparnasse, rue de l'Arrivée. Programming in the vein of its renowned identity, but with two new halls seating 430 and 220 respectively.

The Théâtre du Point-Virgule is not just a stage, it's an identity that has forged the cultural institution and celebrates humor in all its forms. Its eclectic programming, rich history and privileged location make it a must-see destination for anyone looking for an authentic, laugh-out-loud Parisian experience.
