I went here based solely on tripadvisor reviews as it was ranked incredibly highly. I laughed a lot, it was a good standup show. At the moment its ranked number 5 of Paris' top attractions. i dont think it deserves to be that high up, but it's a great nights entertainment all the same. I'm glad I went and would... More

in my recent trip to paris i had a chance to watch this english show with a friend and boy i must say i simply loved it. Its a non stop comedy of more than a hour , reasonably priced . The stand up comedy by olivier was a rip off on the infamous arrogance of the parisians and their... More

From all the reviews I was expecting to be laughing out the door... First of all we purchased the billets.com tickets which were at a 50% discount for a we'd show. We had pretty good located seats. But the comfort factor had me wishing I was back in coach for the flight across the pond. There are a few funny... More

I was visiting my Parisian friend's in Paris for a week and they took me to see this show. What a privilege to see this show in Paris. It had all the right comedic elements to make it a truly unforgettable experience. The audience participation was very good and it added to the value of the show. Oliver is a... More

The performer was perfect -- and personable! He greeted guests after the show and arranged for pictures! Best of all was his personal story of how he had this idea to do the show and everyone turned him down for a couple of years -- but her persisted anyway and is now the #1 show in Paris!! Never give up... More

This show was a lot of fun! The material was original and highly entertaining. The star was engaging, entertaining, and just a little bit naughty. He made fun of Parisians, but had just as much fun (in a tasteful, inoffensive way) with other nationalities in the multi-national audience. Well worth a visit if ever in Paris!

Went to the show thinking it would just help to fill in a night in Paris. Three of us laughed the whole hour through and as suggested, Olivier's jokes and comments kept returning to us as we did things in France for the rest of our holiday. Excellent humour, picks on all nationalities without preference. Take the time to see... More

We were referred to this performance by a tour guide. It was a one man performance and we found it to be "okay." The performer poked fun at all nationalities, yes even the French. However, we would have enjoyed it a lot more if he had acknowledged the many Americans, English, and Canadian in the audience for the part their... More
