Olivier de Benoist « Le droit au bonheur »

Olivier de Benoist returns with Le droit au bonheur (The Right to Happiness), a new stand-up in which he dissects his quest for felicity against the realities of family life. With his knack for subverting expectations and a proudly disingenuous streak, he turns the small daily battles into material for laughter, exploring what coupledom and parenthood do to our desires for freedom. We meet his eternal-optimist persona, who persists—despite all the evidence to the contrary—in searching for the simplest route to inner peace. See it on December 1, 2026 at Espace Malraux in Joué-lès-Tours.

Written with Paul-Marie Debrie and Jérôme Daran, this show unfolds a series of very concrete situations in which you understand that, to live in peace, one sometimes has to hide… or even put a little distance between oneself and one’s wife and children. The premise is provocative; the tone remains playful, always supported by precise writing and a sharp sense of timing.

Following Le Petit Dernier, which toured France, Switzerland and Belgium and was filmed for television, Olivier de Benoist presents here a new, well-structured ninety-minute show. Duration: 1 h 30. Authors: Olivier de Benoist, Paul-Marie Debrie, Jérôme Daran.
