Le Mec de la tombe d’à côté (The Guy in the Grave Next Door)
Le Mec de la tombe d’à côté is an adaptation of the Swedish novel of the same name by Katarina Mazetti. With a simple pitch: “they are neighbors in a cemetery. Nothing, at first glance, brings these two together, and yet…” director Panchika Velez succeeds in addressing many themes, from individual selfishness to the desire to be together despite differences.
The play is perfectly carried by its two performers, Florence Hebbelynck and Stéphane Fievet, who love and hate each other due to their radically opposite worlds.
Both funny and relevant, talking about love and meeting people, Le Mec de la tombe d’à côté is a great success! To discover this new revival of the play, take a trip to the Théâtre Les Feux de la Rampe in Paris!

Ohlala, sexy – crazy – artistic
Ohlala, sexy – crazy – artistic, was created by the Knie Circus, a true institution in Switzerland where this show was seen by 180,000 spectators.
It arrived in Paris this summer, where the audience was not mistaken, giving a huge standing ovation at the end of the first performance.
It is indeed a fantastic 2-hour show: a mix of sensual underground cabaret and dazzling circus acts, punctuated by humor and surprises.
A live orchestra and its electro-pop-rock music add to the crazy energy released by the troupe. The show is also interactive, and 4 audience members will have the chance to get on stage… Furthermore, one hour before and up to 15 minutes before the start, the troupe is in the lobby, to the delight of the audience who can take magnificent photos in the sumptuous setting of the Folies Bergère.
The tip: it’s worth arriving at least 30 minutes before the start of the show to enjoy the atmosphere of the pre-show in the lobby.
Thursday to Saturday at 8:30 PM
Sundays at 5 PM
Until September 11, 2016
Prices: from €25 to €80
There are seats at €15 in 1st cat (instead of €65) in the privilege offers on billetreduc, for performances until July 17

Gérémy Credeville in “G Parfait & Modeste”
“Perfect and modest”! It’s all in the title, or almost… It’s clear, Gérémy Credeville has the look, like the ideal son-in-law we would all love to introduce to our parents. Like Simon Baker, you know, the actor who plays in the TV show The Mentalist. Dandy, handsome guy with messy blond hair, Gérémy plays with it and abuses it.
To the delight of the audience, who are immediately into the mood and do not hesitate to intervene during the show. But beware: perfectly reactive, he will know how to bounce back and react with humor if you try a little banter.
He is trashy, incisive, and the spectators laugh openly. Well, you wonder what happens when you watch a movie with your girlfriend? When, at a wedding, the best friend, a little tipsy, comes to give a little speech? So, hurry to see this one-man show: you will have a very good evening of laughter and relaxation!
And it might even be that Gérémy will reveal some “infallible” seduction techniques to you! In this day and age, that’s always good to know.
Wednesday to Saturday at 9 PM
until June 17 and then from July 6 to August 27.
Price: €10 with BilletRéduc

Paco tells your life and his own!
Le point virgule, this tiny theater that is almost a pocket venue, is a little legend in the equally prestigious Marais district. Exceptional atmosphere, exceptional artists… This pleasant Parisian stage has seen some of the greatest comedians walk its boards.
Names that have now become famous and fill the biggest venues: Florence Foresti, Pierre Palmade, Anne Roumanoff, Stéphane Guillon to name but a few. A must-see passage, a springboard to the top. Let’s wish Paco Perez, 31, the same destiny as his predecessors. And it’s off to a pretty good start…
Casual look, charming gaze and smile, Paco enters the scene like a fish in water. He masters it, feels right at home, and connects with his audience, like an evening among friends.
Raconte ta vie is a breath of fresh air, where the young comedian gives himself over without restraint, heart wide open, and amuses himself with little nothings and great nonsense. Paco improvises, talks to his audience.
That evening, a certain Yannick took some heat, cleverly serving as a transition between sketches. That’s the whole art of the comedian who blindly dives into the lion’s den. Paco dives in, makes fun of his own faults, doesn’t care about the “linear,” and goes where he didn’t even think he would go. A sequence of witticisms, intelligence, and hilarious situations. You never get bored; you let yourself be carried by the atmosphere of this small room that Paco knows how to stimulate.
Much like a Baptiste Lecaplain who leaves plenty of room for the magic of improv and enjoys simple situations, carried by an incredible energy, Paco brilliantly joins this young generation of artists who play with words and life to help us spend an hour of happiness.
Paco is both calm and energy, subtlety and strength. It’s no wonder that Laurent Ruquier himself gave him the maximum rating in his show On n’demande qu’à en rire. A talent to discover to forget the somewhat depressing atmosphere of the moment… Laughter, that’s an essential remedy… Paco, or communicative optimism!
