Published by Caroline de Sortiraparis · Published on February 19, 2011 at 02:14 p.m.
Are you American? British? Australian? Italian? Maybe Japanese? You’ve just arrived in the French capital and you’re disturbed by Parisian impolite habits? Well, this show was made for you! In 9 lessons, Olivier Giraud explains you how to become Parisian, and in English, please!

Come and discover the only 100% English-speaking one man show in Paris but 100% French humor. Some of you may wonder about how to understand the show. Be rest assured, the show may be in English, but you won’t have a problem understanding jokes.

Let’s put it straight: you love Paris, but you think Parisians are impolite? You’re right, they are! You’re too kind and you want to become arrogant? Don’t give it any second thought and come practice the Parisian way of life!
Your new teacher Olivier Giraud is here to teach you everything: from language to facial expressions.

After the show, you’ll be a true Parisian. In a store, don’t say hello or goodbye and don’t ask questions to the sales assistant; you know he doesn’t want to be bothered. At the restaurant, forget about politeness and rather go for authority when you order. In a taxi, get mad at the driver and have him drive faster. In the metro, be in a huff, do a duckface so that you can join Paris clubs. And finally, learn how to fake it in bed and to say, “Oh la la”!
For the rest, you will have to discover it in “How to become Parisian in one hour?”

The show points out the real cultural differences in each country. A clever show magnificently performed by Olivier Giraud and a very funny one. Run there, you won’t regret it!

Following the success, the show is performed until June 30, 2011! Olivier Giraud made the best of it to add a 9th lesson in his show: “How to become a Parisian in a supermarket?”
You really don’t want to miss this one-man-show!
