Stand-up comedy in Paris

878 shows on stage in Paris — 13 of them free and median entry price €22. Listings updated on .

Comedy is by far the most performed format in Paris, and the only one that runs at every size of venue at once. Among the upcoming dates in our catalogue, the rooms that come back most often are Le Solo, Le Point-Virgule, L’Européen, Théâtre BO Saint-Martin, Le Montorgueil — Scène des Halles, Le Petit République, Apollo Théâtre, La Nouvelle Seine and Le Métropole, with roughly a hundred more addresses behind them — from fifty-seat basements to the big houses of the Grands Boulevards.

That continuous scale explains how the scene works. A comedian breaks in a new show over several months in a small room, usually early in the week and in front of a handful of people, before running it in a mid-sized venue and, for a few of them, touring the country. The same name can therefore appear in two very different places a few months apart. The practical consequence is simple: a work-in-progress run can be booked the day before without trouble, while an established show sells out its Friday and Saturday nights weeks ahead.

This page gathers every stand-up and comedy show announced in Paris, ranked by popularity, each listing carrying the venue, the next performance, how many dates are left to run and a link to the official box office. Most shows are performed in runs spanning several months: open the listing rather than hunting for each date in the list — it carries every announced performance. Note that almost all of them are performed in French; the venue page says so when a show is played in English.

Frequently asked questions

Are stand-up shows in Paris performed in English?

The vast majority are performed in French. A handful of venues run English-language comedy nights, and when a show is played in English the venue page says so — every listing links straight to it.

Can I book a comedy show on the day in Paris?

Often, yes. Small Paris venues keep seats on sale until curtain up, and rooms under 300 seats rarely sell out on weeknights. Friday and Saturday nights for an established show are another matter: those go weeks in advance.

How much does a stand-up ticket cost in Paris?

Entry prices sit in the twenty-to-thirty-euro range for most shows, below fifteen in the smallest rooms and well above fifty for a headline name in a large hall. Each listing shows the lowest price found at the seller, before booking fees.
