A must see - Easy to get to and the guy was funny ...very interactive with the audience . A must see if you in Paris . if you are tall you might find seat a little restrictive like I did but still comfortable.

Not Suitable for Waiters - Very witty and feels fresh. Good interaction with audience. A little raunchy for younger children but my 16 year old loved it. Seating very tight fit. Totally worth it.

Great way to find out about Paris and have fun doing it!! - Normally I am not a big standup comedy fan, but this was a great show. First...audience was quite international, despite the fact that the comedian speaks English the whole time. (He does ask at the beginning of the show where everyone is from.) He covers all the bases of Parisian life with great humor and pokes fun at EVERYONE (including fellow Parisians), so don't take yourself too seriously. You find out about everything from dating to getting an apartment to treatment in restaurants & shops. One caveat is that if you light your hair on fire over swearing or sexual talk, this might not be for you (and it may not be appropriate for kids under, say, 15--depends on parents). The show lasts about 90 minutes (if you're timing a taxi pickup). If you sometimes find Parisian behavior to be confusing, this show's for you. I learned a lot, actually--plus it's hilarious.

A painful waste of time and money. - If your idea of a good time is enduring crass, childish, offensive stereotyping; with a healthy dose of misogyny ; you will love it!
