Elena Nagapetyan

Elena Nagapetyan will be at the Vinci - Palais des Congrès de Tours in Tours on May 31, 2026. A comedian born in Uzbekistan and raised in Russia, living in France since she was 22, she turns a bumpy life into stand-up material. She speaks plainly: leaving home very early, a Tinder marriage, a child, a divorce, postpartum depression, and the desire to put things in order her way. On stage she confronts her great fear of regret while admitting another, more concrete fear: cockroaches. Armed with self-deprecating humor, she owns her choices and the chaos that comes with them, with everyday scenes that ring true—like going to the park with her son despite a hangover.

Performing in a language that wasn’t hers at first has become her playground. Her clear, direct French frames a personal story that explores freedom, motherhood, exile, and rebuilding. An intimate stand-up drawn from real life, where she says what she thinks and lives as she pleases, simply.
