Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

French comedian Marine Leonardi presents Mauvaise Graine on December 2, 2026 at the Bourse du Travail in Lyon. Not playing house and without beating around the bush, she stirs up what gets stuck in everyday life: relationships, motherhood, the mental load, and the expectations that cling to you. Her dark humor is forthright, her writing direct, her punchlines spare and designed to put into words what we often keep to ourselves. She dismantles unbalanced divisions, points out the roles we assume automatically, and speaks of love and exhaustion, the contradictions that settle in, and the little remarks we swallow at the dinner table. A keen observer, she draws on everyday scenes, digs into detail, avoids moralizing, and lets the situations speak for themselves. Mauvaise Graine isn’t about showmanship: a thread unfolds where the personal meets the collective, between blunt confessions and a clear‑eyed perspective. With Marine Leonardi, laughter brushes up against reality—no sleight of hand, as close as possible to what rings true.
