Matthieu Pepper

En attendant la fête au village

Matthieu Pepper established himself as a stand-up by performing regularly at the legendary Bordel Comédie Club. He stands out in his field for his writing, his stage presence and his rigour. It was at the fabled club that he made several key connections that proved decisive for his rising career.

In fact, he was the creator, lead writer and actor of his first TV series Entre 2 draps, which was a huge success, garnering several awards and nominations during its four seasons on screen.

In this, his first solo show, comedian Matthieu Pepper opens up about his shortcomings, pitfalls and reflections-stating that"When life throws us a curveball, we have to remember that there's always a party in the village"! During his performance, he lets people into his private world, where they can sit back, relax and have a good laugh. A seasoned writer, he takes us where reflection and introspection meet hilarity.
