Paul Mirabel

The French comedian Paul Mirabel arrives with his stand-up — gentle and a touch offbeat — on 11 March 2026 at Forest National Forest. On stage he cultivates a calm presence, a measured delivery and a deadpan humour that plays with silences. He tells everyday stories without exaggeration, observing the small sticking points and the moments that slip, from family to relationships, from transport to the little misunderstandings that settle in. His writing, precise and minimalist, highlights embarrassment, shyness, micro‑embarrassments and those instants when you recognise yourself without quite admitting it. No showmanship, just an art of timing and a way of stretching an idea down to its finest grain, to make laughter appear where you least expect it.

His world rests on very little, and that’s what makes it effective: simple stories, crisp images, a tightly controlled performance. With this show at Forest National Forest, Paul Mirabel continues his path as a stand-up performer who prefers calm to noise, nuance to flash, and invites the audience to enter his tempo, somewhere between joyful awkwardness and mischievously precise observation.
