Anne Cahen’s Moment de qualité is a sharp, character-driven stand-up show that dissects the sometimes absurd world of work, the inner life of introverts, life choices and the peculiar rituals of television game shows. Cahen combines dry observation, precise timing and warm stage presence to turn everyday oddities into comic revelations. Her writing, recognised with the SACD 2024 prize, balances satire and tenderness, mapping modern anxieties with wit and empathy.

After 463 performances of his first show, available on YouTube, Jason Brokerss — one of the sharpest minds in stand-up comedy today — is back on stage. “If I had seen this poster and this new show 10 years ago… I would have said, ‘Who is this man? What kind of life is this?’ Apparently, that man is me, and that’s my life. I have to tell you about it!”
