Valérie Lemercier

Valérie Lemercier will be at L’Olympia in Paris on December 30, 2026. An actress, writer and director, she has for years forged a path between stage and screen. On stage, she strings together characters, accents and postures with a knack for offbeat observation. Everyday gestures, tics and contradictions become short scenes that play off one another, somewhere between stand-up and scripted sketches. Her musical ear, clear diction, figures that are at once absurd and familiar, and her precise eye for customs and codes are all immediately recognizable. Between pop culture, family life, the office or the backstage of show business, she slips into different skins and establishes a supple tempo, without heavy-handed effects. This date extends her work in film and directing, with the same taste for portraiture and for situations that gently tilt into the offbeat. At L’Olympia Paris, her performance unfolds in a format that leaves room for nuances and surprises.
