The must-see english and french artists will be in Les Gets from the 25 to the 31 January ! Let’s discover them:
The English for the event 🇬🇧
Maisie Adam
Maisie’s comedy career kicked off in 2017, when she entered the nationwide So You Think You’re Funny? competition (which has previously been won by many of her comedy heroes, including Peter Kay, Aisling Bea, and Tom Allen). Before she knew it, she found herself with a place in the Grand Final, held at the Gilded Balloon up at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and on 24th August she won the competition, becoming only the 4th woman to have done so in its’ 30-year history. The following year, Maisie was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards for her debut show ‘Vague’, where she also won the Amused Moose National Comic Award.
Maisie’s anecdotal material and witty charm have quickly won her praise up and down the country and she has since appeared on Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, QI, Roast Battle, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Hypothetical and The Stand-Up Sketch Show. She also hosts the podcast ‘That’s A First’ alongside fellow comedian Tom Lucy.
Zoe Lyons
Zoe took her first steps down the comedy path in 2003 after training as an actress at the Poor School in London. She went on to win the Funny Women Competition in 2004 and her debut Edinburgh show was nominated for the if.comedy newcomer award. In 2008 she won Dave’s Funniest Joke of The Fringe Award.
Jake Lambert
Described as ‘a joke machine’ by The Telegraph, Jake Lambert is a rapidly rising stand-up known for his non-stop gag-filled storytelling. His online videos have racked up over 500 million views, building Jake a devoted fanbas
Joe Wilkinson
With his downbeat, yet oddball manner, Wilkinson has fast become one of the UK’s favourite comedians.
Alongside his live work, Wilkinson has become a fixture on TV, appearing on 8 out of 10 cats (and 8 out of 10 cats do Countdown), Celebrity Squares, Him and Her, Have I got News For You, Miranda and Derek among others, where he regularly stands apart as one of comedy’s most unique voices
The French 🇫🇷
Cécile Marx
What if our most ridiculous moments turned out to be our best stories? In this show blending stand-up and music, Cécile Marx shares her chaotic journey with humor and complete honesty. Balancing between raw and poetic, she talks about toxic friendships, family, addictions—and even lighter topics, like serial killers. In a world obsessed with perfection, she reminds us that it’s our flaws that truly make us… iconic.
Urbain
Urbain, 37, is that contradictory guy who goes on two heavy nights out a week, yet still does Dry January. The kind of guy who dreams of sleeping with the whole world, but has actually been in a relationship for 14 years. The guy who tries to work out—though only after demolishing an entire mattress of cheese. And now, today, he feels like it might be time for a turning point: will he stay the “rock ’n’ roll” guy he loves being, or finally settle down and own it? A truly modern drama (seriously) where you’ll get the answers—maybe more than one—while he shares his nonsense and weighs up the pros and cons with you, live, for an hour.
Pierre Thévenoux
Pierre is back with his new show Life Coach, where he dives into the modern obsession with wellness, self-improvement, and the constant pressure to succeed. And just like any good life coach worth their salt, he’ll be giving you plenty of tips on how to get your life together—while his own is still very much a work in progress.
Julien Sonjon
Funny, generous, joyful, breathtaking, and incredible, this show transports you on a wild and unexpected adventure. Julien Sonjon takes you on an interactive and thrilling journey where you’ll bring his magic tricks to life. This multi-talented artist is a highly energetic improviser-comedian-magician.
He’s got plenty of surprises in store, guaranteed to put stars in the eyes of both children and their parents.
Nino Arial
Not like them. In 2016, while living a quiet office life, he decided to drop everything and launch YouTube. 110 million views later, he decided to put himself in danger once again by breaking the fourth wall and taking the stage.
After earning his stripes as an opening act for Alban Ivanov and Redouane Bougheraba, he is finally ready to present his first show. Nino reveals himself, depicting his life and his vision of the world through sketches he didn’t steal from anyone!
Elodie Arnould
Before a new show exists, we test, we try, we fail, we create, we say what is on our minds and we arrange our thoughts: it’s the Running-in. After her first show “Future Grande” and her event show “Fécondée”, Elodie returns with a third show. What will it be about? It’s something that will be decided with the public (in reality she already has a little idea but she’s not sure).
Edouard Deloignon
Edouard Deloignon grew up: “I’ve always had this feeling of being a little out of step with others, the further I go in life, the more it becomes true. You know what? I decided it was okay. What if we didn’t take things seriously?”
With his energy, talent, and wit, Edouard offers you a unique experience. An hour and a half of letting go, laughing… together!
Edouard Deloignon is THE new star of comedy and has accumulated over 150 million views of his videos.

Alexis Le Rossignol
“I wanted to ride a horse, but I didn’t know if I’d like it. And then I realized, no, that’s all. That was also the name of the horse, by the way. Crazy, right?”
In his new show, Alexis Le Rossignol blends storytelling and fridge philosophy and attempts to answer a simple but annoying question: what do we do with our lives?
