Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

Marine Leonardi explores the most persistent aspects of everyday life: relationships, motherhood, the mental load, the injunctions that cling to your shoulders. A French comedian drawn to dark humor, she observes the awkward details, the roles we slip into mechanically, and those little lines we swallow to avoid a storm. In Mauvaise Graine, she turns these unspoken truths into stand-up material—straightforward and unvarnished.

Her writing is direct, the pacing crisp, the punchline precise. Between confessions and clear-eyed observation, she unfolds contradictions, speaks of love and exhaustion, of lopsided divisions and compromises that are never truly neutral. On stage she moves calmly, lets a silence hang, then lands the blow. No moralizing or gratuitous effects—just situations that ring true and stir what we thought was settled.

On December 10, 2026 at L’Olympia Paris, Marine Leonardi presents Mauvaise Graine, a set that scratches where it itches and puts words to the unspoken. A frank face-to-face with everyday life, told up close, to share what we usually keep quiet and see how it resonates together.
