Présenté par le Spotlight L-R-2020-004472/009234
An English stand-up comedy showcase featuring the Franglais-fluent Paul Taylor, a British comedian based in France, known for the Canal+ series What The F*** France and his bilingual stand-up tours. His comedy draws on life between Britain and France, particularly linguistic misunderstandings and cultural mix-ups.
Also featuring Polina de la Noix, a radio host, singer, and Russian-born Renaissance woman who’s recently pivoted her eclectic style and creative talents to stand-up. She’s ballsy and unapologetically herself, with an offbeat perspective and the nerve to bring her weirdest ideas to the stage.
One more comedian will be announced soon.

**About English Stand-Up Comedy Club**
English Stand-Up Comedy Club brings monthly shows to Le Spotlight Comedy Club in Lille, hosted by English comedian Neil Sinclair.
Every show presents a fresh and diverse line-up with the biggest names in comedy and local rising stars. You’ll have a chance to see acclaimed performers and discover up-and-coming comics rolling out original material they’ve been practicing in the bathroom mirror. The line-up changes every show, with new voices, sharp jokes, and unique perspectives.
Life between languages and cultures can be exciting, bewildering, frustrating, and downright funny. Through stand-up, we get to share these stories in a humorous light. Once a month, we unglue our faces from our screens and get together as a community of comedy fans and English speakers of all levels for one hour of laughs and a break from the routine.
Our audience is a wonderfully mixed bunch of locals, expats, students, travellers, devoted comedy fans, and complete newcomers. English may be your first, second, or third language and you’ll feel welcome!
Come to stand-up comedy night with a group of friends or show up solo. You’re invited to arrive alone and we encourage mingling before and after shows–you can always lean on the bar if you need a bit of liquid courage to warm the gills.
We value inclusivity and diversity and we’re LGBTQIA+ friendly. We welcome people of different backgrounds and levels of English.

**Note about the ‘*Planche apéritive à partager’* that can be purchased in addition to tickets**:
They aren’t joking when they say this charcuterie platter serves 2 people for a full meal, or 4 people as an appetizer. A reservation is required, it cannot be ordered on-site. You must arrive in advance to enjoy the platter, the dining area is separate from the theatre and food is prohibited in the theatre space. Ticket must be purchased in addition to the platter. The spread and presentation is really fantastic!
