Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

Marine Leonardi prefers the stage to the kitchen, and it shows. Her stand-up carves into everyday life with a sharp, dark humor, hitting the spots that grind: relationships, motherhood, mental load, the injunctions we carry around without thinking. She talks about what we live without spelling it out, and lets a little air into the shadowy corners.

In Mauvaise Graine she turns certainties on their head, lays contradictions bare, and tells of love and exhaustion, the uneven divisions and the roles assumed by reflex. No moralizing, no grand speeches: scenes that ring true, memorable details, and those small lines we usually swallow but that eventually come out.

Her writing is direct, the punchline dry but precise, between blunt confidences and clear-eyed observation. She gets straight to the point, leaves the superfluous at the coat check and works with scalpel-like precision, with an energy that grabs you effortlessly.

Mauvaise Graine by Marine Leonardi is showing on 8 November 2026 at the Centre de Congrès Jean Monnier - Destination Angers, in Angers.
