Pride Festival: The WAB Comedy Club
More voices, more boldness, more talent, welcome to the WAB Comedy Club!
WAB (Paris 11th)
About
The WAB Comedy Club is a monthly talent showcase, held every 3rd Thursday of the month, that chooses diversity, both on stage and in the themes presented.
At each edition, we bring together artists with different backgrounds, identities, sensibilities, and styles, with special attention paid to representing voices that are still seen too rarely on traditional stages.
The concept remains simple: guest comedians, discoveries, drag queen shows, or even knitting shows; above all, we want surprises, so that there is finally a stage that reflects its audience: diverse and colorful. We also reserve part of the show for an open mic, which allows talents to test their material in real conditions, in front of an audience.
No formatting, no typical profile: the WAB Comedy Club champions stand-up that is more open, more representative, and closer to the true diversity of the Parisian audience.
The event takes place every 3rd Thursday of the month, with free admission upon reservation.

Whether through drag shows, unique performances like crochet displays, or the open mic segment, the goal is to surprise the audience and provide a stage that looks like the city itself.
