English Stand-Up Comedy Club - Paul Taylor - Le Spotlight

Présenté par le Spotlight L-R-2020-004472/009234
An English stand-up comedy showcase featuring the Franglais-fluent Paul Taylor, a British comedian based in France, known for the Canal+ series What The F*** France and his bilingual stand-up tours. His comedy draws on life between Britain and France, particularly linguistic misunderstandings and cultural mix-ups. Also featuring Polina de la Noix, a radio host, singer, and Russian-born Renaissance woman who’s recently pivoted her eclectic style and creative talents to stand-up. She’s ballsy and unapologetically herself, with an offbeat perspective and the nerve to bring her weirdest ideas to the stage. One more comedian will be announced soon.

Every show presents a fresh and diverse line-up with the biggest names in comedy and local rising stars. You’ll have a chance to see acclaimed performers and discover up-and-coming comics rolling out original material they’ve been practicing in the bathroom mirror. The line-up changes every show, with new voices, sharp jokes, and unique perspectives. Life between languages and cultures can be exciting, bewildering, frustrating, and downright funny. Through stand-up, we get to share these stories in a humorous light. Once a month, we unglue our faces from our screens and get together as a community of comedy fans and English speakers of all levels for one hour of laughs and a break from the routine. Our audience is a wonderfully mixed bunch of locals, expats, students, travellers, devoted comedy fans, and complete newcomers. English may be your first, second, or third language and you’ll feel welcome! Come to stand-up comedy night with a group of friends or show up solo. You’re invited to arrive alone and we encourage mingling before and after shows–you can always lean on the bar if you need a bit of liquid courage to warm the gills. We value inclusivity and diversity and we’re LGBTQIA+ friendly. We welcome people of different backgrounds and levels of English.- **Start time:** 21h00- **Running time:** Around 60 minutes- **Language:** English- **Ages:** Best suited to adults.
