Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

Marine Leonardi presents Mauvaise Graine on 26 February 2027 at the Zénith de Dijon, Dijon. A French comedian, she dissects everyday life with a dark humor that pulls no punches. Couples, motherhood, the mental load, ingrained injunctions, the roles we slip into without thinking: nothing is spared. She lays bare contradictions, recounts love and exhaustion, the awkward divisions of labour and those little remarks we swallow out of habit.

Her writing is direct and precise, with an eye for detail that hits the mark. On stage she alternates between intimate confessions and observation, holding up a mirror without moralizing and highlighting what’s wrong without exaggeration. The punchlines land cleanly, without unnecessary flourish, surfacing situations that ring true and that everyone recognizes. Mauvaise Graine is a stand-up show where you hear your own refrains, and where Marine Leonardi’s very personal way of turning them on their head—between clear-sightedness, tender darkness and a knack for the phrase—prevails.
