Elena Nagapetyan

On 23 April 2026, Narbonne Arena in Narbonne will welcome Elena Nagapetyan. A comedian who arrived in France at 22, born in Uzbekistan and raised in Russia, she turns her life story into stage material, using a French she has made entirely her own as the primary instrument of her stand-up. Her playground is life as she experienced it: leaving home very young, marrying a Tinder date, becoming a mother, divorcing, recovering from postpartum depression, and moving forward without hesitation.

On stage, Elena speaks without filter about what it means to choose for yourself—even while juggling the everyday: trips to the park with her son, difficult tomorrows, and persistent little fears, even the cockroaches. She addresses exile, learning, family and independence with a direct style and a plain, focused energy that gets straight to the point. An autobiographical show in which she frames her regrets and decisions and the way she claims her freedom, making each step clear, concrete and relatable.
