From comedy pioneers like Coluche back in the day, Gad Elmaleh, Paul Mirabel, Fary and many others, to new talents like Lala, Ike and Tom Baldetti, comedians take to the stage with one-man or one-woman shows with one aim: to make you laugh. It's the perfect opportunity to relax after a hard day's work, or to enjoy a weekend's entertainment in Paris.
