ル・グラン・ポワン・ヴィルギュール

This is THE comedic institution that catapulted the careers of many well-known comedians, like the Canadian Sugar Sammy. The theater is super-small, so everyone waits in the street until right before showtime, when you’re allowed to file in. It’s a must for experiencing the character of the Marais. If you’re not shy, opt for the row of seats that are right on the stage! They’re only there because space is so short, but they’re actually a great vantage point to watch a show.
