Overview

Laugh and learn to become a true Parisian with this belly-achingly funny stage show! Olivier Giraud’s ‘How to Become Parisian in One Hour’ teaches you the nuances of acting like a local through hilarious observations of life in Paris.

Reviewed by the New York Times as “Learning to be French through Comedy!”, award-winning comedian Olivier Giraud will teach you how to behave like a real Parisian in every situation encountered during your stay in Paris, from meetings in the metro to handling the city’s notorious waiting staff!

Appealing to an international audience, each performance welcomes up to 30 different nationalities, and everyone ends up laughing together as Giraud pokes fun at all of our cultural differences.

The show is remarkably interactive, with audience participation and collective hilarity - there’s no doubt that you will come away aching from laughter and bursting with new knowledge of France.

Great Show; Understand How to get to the Theatre

He ws extemely funny and the shower was wonderful. If you don't know the area, it was very difficult to find the entrance. Apple maps kept taking us to the exit. It was extremely frustrating.

First time tourists from England, we didn't know what to expect. The show was fantastic, funny and engaging. Being 6.3 tall, the seats were a little tight, however the atmosphere immediately made me forget and enjoy.

A Gocity Gem!

Thanks to gocity, discovered this new comic! I had not googled the comic before going to the show, as I wanted to experience it live. And it was worth every minute spent at the show. My take home moment was when the comic realised he has a fan who comes yearly to watch him, and somehow he always picks her for stage. This time he definitely has learnt her name. He is so humble that he not only went overtime to take questions from the audience but also ensured to greet everyone who came to the show at the door as they made their exit. - Complete opposite of what he talks about on the show!!!
