The rest of the comedy clubs in Paris — every one we hold

A lot of Paris comedy is free, and you pay on the way out

Paris stand-up runs on the plateau, a line-up of several comics doing short sets, and many of the smaller rooms work au chapeau: entry is free, there is often a drink to buy, and a hat goes round at the end for you to pay what you thought it was worth. Most nights are in French. English-language stand-up exists, but it moves around bars and small rooms on particular evenings each week rather than filling a club nightly, so check the day's listings rather than turning up hopefully.
