Lala Sagna et Imen Lahmar

Lala Sagna et Imen Lahmar share a common strength: transforming their life journeys into material for laughter, reflection, and self-recognition. On one hand, Lala Sagna takes us behind the scenes of her double life as a teacher by day and stand-up comedian by night. With tender, sharp-witted irony, she revisits school memories that left their mark on multiple generations and delivers a reflection on education and transmission that is as hilarious as it is insightful. Her show La Grande Classe blends delightful anecdotes, keen observations, and a critical look at our society.

On the other hand, Imen Lahmar humorously recounts her bold career change, leaving a career as a luxury goods consultant to step onto the stage. After her debut at the famous Gotham Comedy Club in New York, she crafted a singular world around what she calls "contrasting Frenchness." A passionate traveler, she draws on her encounters, getaways, and personal experiences for refined, contemporary, unfiltered comedy. Her show D'origine (in)contrôlée is a true comic travelogue where identity, freedom, and the search for oneself intersect.

This evening honors two women who chose to speak out, challenge stereotypes, and turn laughter into a space of freedom.
