Mathieu Madénian « À pleurer de rire »

Mathieu Madénian arrives at the Radiant-Bellevue in Caluire-et-Cuire on April 17, 2026 for a one-man show cut from everyday life. A French comedian noted for his eye for detail, he performs a direct, no-frills stand-up, mic in hand and with a sharp look at life’s small scenes. Family, couples, friends, neighbours, public transport, meetings that go on forever and everyday misunderstandings: he draws on what everyone knows and turns it into stories that go straight to the point, with lively delivery and a hint of a southern lilt in his voice.

On stage, Madénian plays the intimate. He bounces off a detail, picks up a reaction from the audience, slips in an improvised line, and weaves a thread between his anecdotes and those of the crowd. His humour works instinctively, without gimmicks, with precise writing and a knack for catching the moment. No characters or elaborate routines, just a point of view that hits the mark and an hour of stand-up designed to laugh at what brings us together, here and now.
