Olivier de Benoist « Le droit au bonheur »

Olivier de Benoist returns with a show focused on a field he knows well: family life. The French comedian skewers coupledom, fatherhood and the small daily battles with playful bad faith and an offbeat sense of timing that hits the mark. He insists on chasing happiness while admitting that his family is both his fuel and his greatest source of complications. Between barely exaggerated confessions and clever logical twists, he bends proverbs and turns common-sense principles inside out to better reveal the foibles we prefer to hide.

On stage he strings together situations everyone recognizes: meals that go off the rails, poorly planned birthday celebrations, zigzagging parenting, and shaky diplomacy at home. The narrative moves at a brisk pace, carried by a taste for detail and a manner of pleading his case like a devil’s advocate—never mean, always precise. On May 21, 2026, at Le Phare socio-cultural center in Saint-Coulomb, Olivier de Benoist takes on the great theater of the household, determined to turn every ordinary squabble into a shared moment of comedy.
