Roland Magdane

Roland Magdane, a French comedian, has been performing on stage and on television for half a century. On April 18, 2026, at the Atlantia La Baule Convention and Festival Center, he presents Clap de fin, his farewell tour, bringing to a close a story that began fifty years ago. His keen eye for observation is still present: stories that start from everyday life and drift into the absurd, a way of storytelling that sets up the situation before tipping it into comedy. A microphone, a presence, and that recognisable rhythm that has accompanied several generations of spectators.

After decades of touring and appearing on television, he has chosen to give himself a rest. Clap de fin is not a solemn retrospective but rather a final appointment with the audience — direct and intimate. It is an opportunity to see a familiar artist again, to take the time to laugh at life’s small contradictions, and to bring things full circle with simplicity.
