Mathieu Madénian « À pleurer de rire »

Mathieu Madénian returns with a fourth show nourished by a major change in his life: the somewhat belated arrival of his first child. On March 20, 2026 at the Republic Corner in Poitiers, the comedian turns this leap into parenthood into stand-up material, recounting how his certainties have been shaken and how he is relearning to keep things simple in a world saturated with directives.

On stage, he navigates between his traditional upbringing and so-called modern fatherhood, tries to explain concepts of gender even though he doesn’t really get TikTok, and looks for ways not to come across as a boomer at home. At a tight, snappy pace, he strings together everyday scenes, mishaps and small victories, with his knack for turning his own contradictions into stories that resonate with everyone.

You’ll encounter fatigue, questions without an instruction manual, unsolicited advice, and the strange feeling of being guided by a child who already seems to know a lot. A direct, no-nonsense set in which Madénian explores fatherhood, generational gaps and the surrounding absurdity, staying as close as possible to his own life.
