Valérie Lemercier

Valérie Lemercier returns to the stage and sets up at L’Olympia in Paris on January 3, 2027. An actress, writer and comedian, she is known for her solo shows in which she strings together portraits and everyday situations, with that blend of elegance and whimsy that runs throughout her career. Having worked in film and directing, she still retains an unabated taste for the stage, a realm where she can change register in the blink of an eye, moving between popular archetypes, zany families and the backstage of showbiz.

This show promises to be a distinctive occasion, focused on what she does best: observing, subverting and bringing to life characters that feel a little like our own. Her precise writing, attention to detail and stage timing establish an unpretentious rhythm made up of small jolts and lines that land. At L’Olympia Paris, she adopts an intimate format in her own way, facing the audience without unnecessary artifices. It’s an event for anyone who loves a lively stage and stories that shift from one tone to another, carried by an artist who knows how to captivate a room and bring it along with her.
