Olivier de Benoist in The Little Last

On the strength of its success across France with its youngest, he returns to the capital for his last performances in Paris. Because every time Olivier de Benoist has a child, he does a one-man show. So as he had a fourth, well, he’s coming back with a new show! In this veritable ode to contraception that is The Little Last, Olivier de Benoist will give you lots of advice drawn from his experience as the father of 4 charming toddlers. As we know, for most of human history, raising children was an exclusively female task. But today, things have finally changed, and that’s good! In this hilarious show, ODB finally intends to reveal to women the secrets of a successful education.

Stephane Guillon in On the scene

Stéphane Guillon has tried everything, tried everything, hoped for everything, even going so far as to take courses in kindness. Currently on tour with his show On the scene, the comedian is back in better shape than ever in Paris for a performance of his show in a “remastered” version. Put on a diet because of Covid-19, he analyzes, questions, dissects and compiles 18 months of absurdities, nonsense, reversals as a society has rarely produced. On the sceneit’s 1h30 during which the comedian makes up for lost time with happiness and earthiness.
