Seuls is a show about us, about what we hide, what we deny, and what we pretend not to see. There are no taboos and no moral lessons, just an observation of the absurdities that surround us.
Once upon a time... "The other day..." is his catchphrase, his trademark: the expression that introduces each of his sketches. A true storyteller of everyday life, Olivier de Benoist recounts with verve and finesse his life experiences inspired by his family, the world of work, society... all of which are inexhaustible sources of jokes and anecdotes with highly laughable potential. With this man who defines himself as a popular comedian with a script, routine always turns into an adventure novel. A one-man show designed especially for Comédie+, so you can say... "The other day, I laughed so hard!" Recorded on June 25, 2025, at the Théâtre des Sources in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, in the Hauts-de-France region, for the benefit of the Canal+ Group's Comédie+ channel.
From a tour of Paris in a tourist bus, to a father who has decided to become a "stay-at-home dad", to a manager who believes in his rap group, Smaïn underlines with his words and humor the flaws of our society that are, in the end, so familiar to us.
Audrey Lamy, nominated for the Molières, lights up the stage with all her talent and her fantasy, linking unique and hilarious characters: a mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a nymphomaniac girlfriend found on Facebook or even a more than shooting star of the "Poop Academy"...
My name is Arnaud. I'm going to play in the Trio show with Baptiste and Jérémy. I've been asked to write the pitch for the show. As I write these lines, I don't know anything about it. But basically, this is how it's going to happen: we're going to write a show and it shouldn't go as planned because of one person. Apparently me. Thanks to my great experience, I'll save the evening. Baptiste will follow me with his eyes closed because he loves me. Jérémy will yell at me because he's an idiot. But what's certain is that you're going to laugh a lot. And so will we.
The plot of the play revolves around Lola, a sexagenarian, divorced and not very well off, who gets it into her head to have a breast reconstruction.
Recorded in May 2024 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris. For his first show, Monsieur Poulpe gives his all, combining sincerity and madness. It's a tightrope act to which he invites an audience won over by his gentle madness and his inpredictable world.
In this show, Yann Marguet explores the most fundamental questions of our existence with his characteristic finesse and absurdity. From the infinitely large to the infinitely stupid, he dissects our anxieties, hopes, and contradictions with a pen that is both poetic and powerful. Far beyond simple stand-up comedy, Exister : définition is a veritable whirlwind of reflections, a funny and touching mise en abîme of our human condition. With polished staging and finely crafted writing, he invites us to laugh at this existential vertigo, ultimately leaving us with an unexpected tenderness in the face of our own absurdities. Recorded on May 16 & 17, 2025, at La Cigale in Paris's 18th arrondissement for the TF1 Group's TMC channel.
