5.00Great fun and just the right length. Comic was very engaging and stayed on afterwards to do some Q and A with the audience which extended the show and brought up audiences funny experiences in Paris

5.00This is the third year I have attended Olivier Giraud’s comedy show, and once again, he was exceptional! He engages the audience from the very beginning, and his expressions and mannerisms keep you riveted. Last year he surprised me by inviting that girl Sue from San Francisco to join him onstage to dance, and believe it or not, it happened again! If you haven’t had the pleasure to see this show, I urge you to do so! See you next year, Olivier!
Great time
