Very funny - Very funny and relatable. Great for adults and for older teens. Recommend you get seats a few rows back as the first few rows are quite close to the stage

Funny! - A nice change to sightseeing. Very funny. Better when the crowd gets involved and are vocal. I think it would recommend sitting close to the front. Impersonations of Parisian store employees was spot on!

Great show! - We loved the show. Olivier is a great performer and had the audience laughing from the beginning. Highly recommended for a fun night out and to understand Parisian people a bit more without taking things too seriously. Not suitable for kids (or easily offended adults! 😆). Go with an open mind, laugh at yourself a bit and enjoy 😉

Very enjoyable, laughed a lot; great add-on to an evening out in Paris - This is a very nice, fast pace, whirlwind tour of what defines behaving as a 'parisien'. Impressive performance ! Lots of interaction with the audience and making fun of all other nationalities too, not just the 'parisien', so maybe not for people easily offended or shocked. Really enjoyable and not too long (1 hour), so a great add-on to an evening out. Laughed a lot !
