Mathieu Madénian « À pleurer de rire »

On April 26, 2026 in Vergèze, at Espace Vergèze, Mathieu Madénian recounts his late arrival into fatherhood. With his self-deprecating humor and a direct writing style, he reflects on the birth of his first child— that moment that upends routines, certainties and the image he had of himself. He moves between the old-fashioned upbringing he received in his family and the methods of a more modern fatherhood, passing through everyday situations where you wonder what the right thing to do is.

How do you talk to your son about gender when you don’t even know how TikTok works? How do you avoid being labeled a boomer and keep your bearings in a world that’s going off in all directions? Madénian owns his missteps, recounts his attempts, and shows what parenthood changes in a couple, among friends, at work, in sleep and in the ego. Without sermonizing, he turns his life scenes into finely honed stories, blending confessions, gags and observations of reality.

A focused, personal show from the perspective of parent and child, in which we follow a comedian learning his new role live, with simplicity and candor.
