Allez, let’s do this !

You probably know him from his stand-up shows, his viral videos, or simply as that guy who says out loud what most of us just think — in both English and French.In this episode, Paul shares his journey of growing up between cultures, from his early years in Switzerland and France to his return to the UK, and how these experiences shaped his unique comedic voice.

After Sebastian Marx and Holly Hudson, I’m delighted to welcome today’s guest, Sarah Donnelly, who arrived in France from Washington about ten years ago and has just officially become a French citizen.And since good news never comes alone, she has also just released her stand-up special on YouTube—the link is, down there in the episode description, of course!With Sarah, we’ll be discussing some of my favorite topics: exploring new territories, starting from scratch in a foreign country, and what drives us to leave everything behind. And of course, we’ll talk about comedy! Is American humor really that different from French humor? Can we joke about the same things on both sides of the Atlantic ?Her show on YouTube, she is hilarious : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2_N_CRoRz0 Hosted on Acast.

I am truly delighted to meet you again for this second episode of "Allez let’s do this," which serves not only as a way to have fascinating conversations with people but also to work on my English, as I am a French comedian whose ultimate goal is to one day perform a one-hour show in English.And today, I have the chance to converse with the American Holly Hudson. I met her in a Parisian comedy club, and I was immediately captivated by her sunny charisma—being around her is purely addictive. Then, behind the comedic talent, you discover an international journey filled with freedom, which is both inspiring and a little guilt-inducing. Once you know Holly's story, you'll have no more excuses not to embark on your own journey and pursue your projects. Allez, let’s do this! Hosted on Acast.

In this first episode, we welcome my long-time friend Sébastien Marx. He’s a New Yorker with Argentine roots, and he’s going to tell us how he lived his French dream without speaking a single word of French at the beginning. It’s the story of a conquest, with all the courage and patience it requires. Many times, Sébastien could have given up, but he chose to stay, and today, he’s sometimes more French than I am… It’s inspiring, energizing, and reassuring. His journey reminds us that when things aren’t going well, it’s not the end, just a step toward something greater than ourselves… Enjoy the episode ! Hosted on Acast.

Hello, my name is Christine Berrou, I am a French author and comedian. I created this podcast as a great excuse to meet inspiring English speakers from all around the world and to give myself the luxury of improving my English with them. It’s my own little Erasmus experience, as I love performing in English and need to make progress. On the agenda, there will be comedians, since they’re the ones I spend the most time with, but also some surprises... Allez, let’s do this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
