Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

On 28 February 2026 at La Gare du Midi in Biarritz, Marine Leonardi performs Mauvaise Graine, a blunt, no-nonsense stand-up. A comedian who started in theatre before turning to stand-up, who passed through the Jamel Comedy Club and served as a resident at the Paname Art Café, she has honed a dry, precise writing style to probe what’s wrong with everyday life.

At the mic she unpacks couplehood, motherhood, family and their diktats. Mental load, conflicting desires, broken nights, persistent clichés, roles we impose on ourselves or suffer through: she examines it all with unapologetic dark humour and clear‑eyed cynicism, without self‑censoring. Her off-kilter gaze reframes small domestic scenes, exposes blind spots and turns the unsaid into material for laughter.

Mauvaise Graine is a frank conversation in which you recognise your own flaws, carried by an effective stage presence and a sense of timing that short‑circuits any comfort. Marine Leonardi isn’t after a neat turn of phrase; she digs into the raw and ties confessions and jokes as close as possible to reality. In Biarritz she delivers a personal, direct piece of stand‑up that brings taboos down to everyday life.
