Valérie Lemercier

Valérie Lemercier returns to the stage for a Paris engagement that puts her performance front and center. An actress, writer and comedian, she has established herself with a distinctive sense of offbeat humor and a gallery of keenly observed characters. At L’Olympia in Paris on 23 December 2026, she presents a show that moves between portraits, confidences and everyday situations, playing with language, silences and precise physicality. Her writing draws on contemporary life, social foibles and little quirks without being heavy-handed or seeking effects—just enough to bring a smile. She shifts from one persona to another, from one age to the next, with a relaxed rhythm and transitions that allow the hall to breathe. Free of unnecessary artifice, she favors listening and intimacy for a direct face-to-face with the audience. Viewers will find her at L’Olympia Paris on 23 December 2026 in a pared-down, lively format entirely focused on her perspective and her performance.
