Christelle Chollet « Culottée »

Christelle Chollet celebrates 20 years on stage with Culottée, a new musical one-woman show presented on 6 December 2026 at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel in Paris. A comedian and singer, she returns to her signature format: stand-up that slips into song, shifts of tone and a stage tempo driven by her live musicians. She sketches a gallery of piquant characters, portraits of everyday life as well as larger-than-life figures, and enjoys upending the rules with a blend of irreverence and clear-sightedness.

In Culottée, Chollet probes our foibles—the small social dramas and the big issues that turn up at the table—to make them resonate across sketches, refrains and asides. Her voice moves between pop, variety and knowing winks to chanson, while the text progresses without heaviness, favoring observation, sharp punchlines and a few controlled slips toward emotion. The show keeps the energy that built her signature while embracing the experience accumulated over her performances: a keen perspective, fluid transitions and a sense of rhythm that ties words and music together. Culottée is the desire to laugh at everything that overwhelms us, a way of getting a step ahead.
