Valérie Lemercier

Valérie Lemercier takes the stage at L’Olympia Paris on January 2, 2027 for a show made to measure. An actress, writer and director, she has established herself with sharply drawn characters and a keen observation of everyday life. On stage she moves between stand-up and sketches, strings together quick portraits, occasionally slips in a song, and prioritizes rhythm over effects. She likes to start from a detail, a speech tic or a situation that derails, turning it into a short, precise and playful story. No artifice—just a direct voice and back-and-forth with the audience.

This engagement at L’Olympia highlights her taste for the one-woman show: a pared-down set, a gallery of figures, clear transitions. You encounter hurried bourgeois women, hesitant stars, anonymous characters that feel true. Between memories, memorable roles and what the world inspires in her, Valérie Lemercier draws on her repertoire and the spirit of the times to feed a series of scenes that move, breathe and get straight to the point. A simple, controlled face‑to‑face, conceived for the large Parisian hall.
