Reviews
Great moment ! Full of laughs. Very diverse show. A lot of interaction with the audience, Olivier will always put an unexpected joke that will make you laugh and make the show unique. The English used is very comprehensive and easy to understand even if you are like me not a native English speaker. Also great advice given for the ones wanting to make the most of there stay in Paris. Thanks Olivier for the perfect time spent.. ;)
This show has definitely added value to our Paris trip. One hour full of laughter, not a single dull moment. Highly recommended.
How to Become a Parisian in One Hour is a total laugh riot. With wit and charm, Olivier Giraud guides the audience through a humorous journey, poking fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of Parisians. His storytelling and comedic timing create an engaging experience, offering both locals and visitors a hilarious perspective on the city's culture. Highly recommended for a good laugh and a touch of Parisian cool!
Loved the experience. Olivier is a real entertainer and got the crowd laughing throughout the show. I was lucky enough to be brought on the stage and got myself some goodies as well. Would definitely recommend!
We took our team to watch Olivier’s show as part of a team building. The group was a mix of Parisians and expats and we all loved it. Hilarious as always. Having seen the show already several times I wondered if I would still laugh. Well, I did.
Honestly, I don't understand all the positive reviews. This show was a disappointment from the beginning to the end! Very shallow jokes, a lot of unoriginal stereotypes and racist/sexist jokes. We were a group of 8 and none of us enjoyed.
This show might be appealing to tourists who want to chew on the same old stereotypes, but as a person living in Paris I can tell you it's not worth the price!!
I was not convinced in the beginning (as born and raised in Paris). Scared of dry stereotypes... But Olivier didn't disappoint. Time flew by and Parisians, French and foreigners can relate, as laughs in the crowd can testify. He also engaged the crowd quite often which was a nice touch! Recommend for both French and tourists in town! (neighbourhood offers a lot of nice dining venues as well)
Amazing !!! I would give 100 stars from 5 :) you can see Olivier does a great job with his heart in it! I highly recommend to see the show. One can laugh one hour non stop. I also recommend very much his book and watch his tedex talk on youtube where he tells his story how he made it to the stage. Many thanks to Olivier and all who work to make the show! Good job that makes a lot of wonderful émotions and big big laugh!!!
