Rue des Boulangers is the kind of Left Bank street that looks built for a postcard: narrow, cobbled, a few doors down from the buzz of Rue Mouffetard, tucked into the 5th arrondissement's student-and-tourist tangle. Number 1 is La Pomme d'Eve, and on any given weekend right now, it is doing more English-language comedy business than almost anywhere else in Paris.
That is not a small claim. English stand-up in this city is scattered across a handful of rooms, most of them hosting one recurring night and calling it a scene. La Pomme d'Eve is currently hosting three separate ones, run by two different production companies, in the same small room, most weeks. If you're new to English comedy in Paris and want one address to remember, this is the one worth learning.
The anchor night is Coucou Comedy's Friday Night Show, at 20:00. It's a standard stand-up lineup, and the room has it booked for July 24 and July 31. Each date has its own page, so you can see who's actually on the bill before you commit to a Friday out rather than guessing from the venue name alone.
Saturdays belong to Blast Off Comedy, and Blast Off alternates two different formats out of the same room. One week it's Blast Off All Stars, a title that signals a curated, showcase-style lineup rather than an open floor — next up is July 18, then August 1. The other week it's the Improvised PowerPoint Comedy Show, a different animal entirely: comics build a set on the spot around slides they've never seen, a format that lives or dies on quick thinking rather than polished material, next on July 25. If you only catch one Blast Off night, it's worth knowing going in that a PowerPoint improv show and a stand-up showcase ask very different things of an audience, and of the comics on stage.
None of these three shows lists a ticket price — that's not the same as knowing it's free, so treat price as unconfirmed and check the specific event page linked above before you leave the house. What is clear is the shape of the room's week: a Friday stand-up night from one company, a Saturday slot that swaps between a curated showcase and an improv format from another. Three distinct comedy nights, sharing one small Left Bank address, is a busier rotation than any other English-language room we can currently point to in Paris.
It's also worth being honest about how new this address is to us: La Pomme d'Eve only entered the listings about a week ago, which is long enough to see the Friday-plus-rotating-Saturday pattern repeat across six upcoming dates, not long enough to call it a fixture of the city. House policy on latecomers, whether the room is standing or seated, how strictly "improvised" the PowerPoint show really is in practice — that's the kind of texture only a visit answers, not a listing.
If you're choosing a first night, it comes down to what you want from the evening. Coucou's Friday show is the safer bet if you want a conventional stand-up set with a lineup you can preview first. Blast Off's All Stars leans into the same territory with a showcase framing and its own energy. The PowerPoint night is the wildcard — no two shows can be the same by design, since the deck is new every time — and it's the one most worth a special trip if you've already done a standard evening elsewhere in the city and want something structurally different.
Either way, start from the specific date's own event page rather than a general venue search. Rue des Boulangers is short and easy to walk past if you're not looking for it — find the address on a map before you leave, not after you've circled the block twice.
