Where to see comedy in Paris

How to choose

You speak French. The Paname Comedy Club runs line-ups of several comedians at low prices; the dinner show suits an evening out with a group.

You mostly speak English. The three English-language shows above can be booked online. "Oh My God She's Parisian!" is not suitable for under-15s according to its listing. Other English nights exist, such as Sebastian Marx's New York Comedy Night at La Scène Barbès, but dates and prices change: check the venue's site.

You are with children. See kids' shows in Paris instead.

Before you book

Small venues have few seats: book at least a few days ahead for a Friday or Saturday. Arrive thirty minutes before the start. Platform prices sometimes include fees: compare with the venue's own box office. For a more classic evening, see cabaret in Paris; if it rains, see what to do in Paris when it rains.
