Most English-language comedy in Paris runs one night a week and calls itself a scene. La Pomme d'Eve, 1 Rue des Boulangers, runs three — two production companies, one small room in the 5th, most weeks of the month.
Fridays belong to Coucou Comedy. Their Friday Night Show goes up at 20:00, a straight stand-up bill, booked for July 24 and July 31. Each date carries its own lineup, which matters more than it sounds: in a city this size the same forty comics rotate through every room, and the difference between a good Friday and a dead one is whose name is on that particular bill.
Saturdays are Blast Off Comedy, and they alternate two things that have almost nothing in common. One week it's Blast Off All Stars — a curated showcase, July 18, then August 1. The next it's the Improvised PowerPoint Comedy Show on July 25, where comics build a set live around slides they have never seen.
Go to the PowerPoint night. Not because it's better comedy — a showcase with the right lineup will out-laugh it most weeks — but because it can't be repeated. A stand-up hour is the same hour in Paris or Berlin or Edinburgh. A deck nobody has read is a different show every time, and watching a comic find the joke in a slide they're seeing for the first time is a genuinely different thing to watch. Anyone who has already done a normal comedy night in this city should go to that one.
None of the three lists a price. That means unlisted, not free — check the date's page before you go.
The room is small and it is up a narrow Left Bank street a few doors from Rue Mouffetard, which is to say it seats what it seats and the comics can see you. That cuts both ways. A quiet Tuesday-sized crowd in a room like that is punishing to work; a full one is the best gig in the city.
Worth being straight about the limits here: this address only entered our listings a week ago. Six dates is enough to see the Friday-plus-alternating-Saturday pattern hold. It is not enough to know whether it holds in November.
