Excuse My French... Literally! is a bold, funny, and deeply human one-woman show blending storytelling, comedy, and raw honesty. Through language, culture, identity, and personal transformation, French performer Amandine invites audiences into moments of laughter, vulnerability, and powerful reflection.

What begins with humor and cultural observations slowly unfolds into something more intimate, exploring resilience, self-discovery, and reclaiming one’s voice after life’s unexpected turns. With sharp wit and heartfelt authenticity, she moves between comedy and truth, creating a space where audiences feel seen, connected, and inspired.

This is not just a performance, it is an experience. Come ready to laugh, to reflect, and perhaps to recognize pieces of yourself along the way.
