BABEL: the Gala that takes stand-up on a journey
To kick off the festival in style, BABEL is landing at the Nouveau Siècle. After a successful first run in 2024, it's Paul Taylor (the British comedian who's taken France by storm) who's stepping into the role of master of ceremonies. On the agenda, a world tour of jokes featuring talents from Korea, Ukraine, Morocco, Cameroon, Canada, Belgium, Italy… and of course, a few French stars. Don't worry if you don't speak Korean fluently: a comedian will provide simultaneous translation to ensure everyone can have a good laugh without limits.
Babel Line-up (2025) :
Paul Taylor (UK) – Your oh-so-British MC
Hugo tout seul & Audrey Baldassare (France)
Mehdi Bousaidan (Canada)
Alex Vizorek (Belgium) – Friday / PE (Belgium) – Saturday
Mimo Lazrak (Morocco)
Ulrich Takam (Cameroon)
Hanna Kochehura (Ukraine)
Roberta Cecchin (Italy)
Danny Cho (Korea)
The rest of the Lillarious festival also has plenty of surprises in store. But hurry up: some shows are already sold out (there are a few spots left on lillarious.com if you're lucky).
