Great way to become familiar with Parisians! - Very funny show in a small beautiful intimate theatre so every seat is good. There was lots of audience participation.

Great fro non-French speakers - This is just what my non-French-speaking husband needed. After taking him to two traditional French cabarets where he didn't understand a word, I loved seeing him laugh, smile and enjoy Olivier Giraud. We both enjoyed it. Going into the show I was concerned that it would be filled with tired stereotypes, but it wasn't. The show was fresh and had good interaction with the audience.

Extremely funny insights into Parisians - Extremely funny understanding of Parisians and their expressions and their way of life. Also made fun jokes about people from other parts of France and the world. Well worth attending seats were extremely small and the theater was hot.

Worth going and if you’re keen, participate if you dare - Olivier was extremely funny from the first words until the end. His facial expressions were so good and he included the audience through out the show. Was well worth going. The only issue was the space between the seats I’m 6ft 1” and my knees had to be wide apart to fit. Didn’t detract from the show itself.

Comedy with learning - The comedian combined laughter with seemingly true education of local culture and community living. Keen knowledge of global norms and culture. Crudeness in show not necessary to achieve desired outcomes.

A good laugh - It was funny. A good laugh and an engaging comedian. His humor and laid back way of answering questions and interacting with the audience made it worthwhile.

Fun, but seats were small with no leg room. - The humor was rapid fire. The comic's caricatures were off the wall! His personality came through and was enjoyable, but over far too quickly.

Paris when it sizzles - An amusing evening conducted by an experienced and likeable funnyman. Like all comedy it was inevitably a bit hit and miss but the hits outscored the misses
