Mathieu Madénian « À pleurer de rire »

Mathieu Madénian arrives at the Théâtre de l’Atrium in Dax on 14 November 2026 with his unfiltered stand-up, nourished by observations of everyday life. A French comedian, first noticed for his columns and stage work, he has shaped an art of telling the small things that get under your skin: family and couple life, friends, neighbors, misunderstandings that spiral out of control, and those moments of bad faith that so resemble us. On stage he unfolds razor-sharp stories, bouncing from one anecdote to another, and quickly establishes a rapport with the audience, without characters or artifice. His writing favors efficiency and the detail that hits the mark, carried by a Southern lilt that sets the tone. This is observational stand-up—direct and accessible—where the punchline is built through digressions and asides. A microphone, situations we all know all too well, and an hour of controlled confidences delivered up close to the audience, in the heart of Dax.
