Alison Wheeler : La Promesse d'un soir

2026 · ★ 6.2 · Comedy

Her irreverence and unique style have been the highlight of her appearances on Canal+, France Inter, and the TMC show *Quotidien*. Now, Alison Wheeler is taking to the stage for the first time. Her show, *La promesse d’un soir* (The Promise of an Evening), offers a chance to get to know her on a more personal level. She opens up with a touch of eccentricity, unafraid to share the contradictions she embodies regarding the issues of the day—paradoxes that may well resonate with you. With plenty of self-deprecating humor, she dissects everything from the slightly awkward situations we have all experienced (or might experience) to the various societal pressures placed on women. In a world that often seems disenchanted, Alison Wheeler is determined to keep her promise: to treat us to an evening of irreverence.

Florence Foresti : Mother Fucker

France's darling comedian came back in force on the boards in the fall of 2009 with this hour and a half show, inspired by her experience of motherhood and her daily life as a young mother .

To celebrate this anniversary, CANAL+ is presenting a special prime-time program titled “40.” It’s an opportunity to defy the passage of time by revisiting some of the defining moments of pop culture in general and CANAL+ in particular. More than sixty—that’s the number of talents, artists, and actors whom the channel has had the privilege of watching emerge, flourish, or grow, and who have reimagined in their own way the films, series, and short-form programs that have shaped our shared history since November 4, 1984. On the stage of the Folies Bergère, Antoine de Caunes gracefully and effortlessly bridges the gap between 1984 and 2024 to host this evening, which alternates between studio segments, pre-recorded footage, and live performances.
