Amy London

A need to change everything. To rebuild herself. In 2021, Amy London left Nancy and her native Lorraine to escape a divorce and depression. She headed to Marseille, where this English teacher requested a transfer. New city, new start.

Today she performs alongside Manu Payet and Gad Elmaleh. She is invited to open mic nights, meets people from the industry, convinces the audience... the magic happens.

Amy London's story is that of a female artist whose talents were initially stifled in Nancy, her hometown, and who finally became herself once she arrived in Marseille. “Looking back, Marseille is not my renaissance but my birth.

For me, it’s the beginning of everything, the place where I can fulfil my destiny. Here, I am not loved for my difficult past, but for who I am. ” “J’étais pas prête” (I Wasn't Ready) is the story of a teacher who wanted to change the world, but ended up changing her life.

From a classroom to the stage, Amy London recounts her huge leap between the French National Education system, an unexpected liberation, a flight into the unknown, and the labyrinth of modern encounters.

With sharp humour and biting self-deprecation, she takes us on her journey of emancipation, between tradition, social pressure, and the quest for freedom.

A teacher by day, a comedian by night… then just a comedian, she proves to us that it’s never too late to choose your own path. A funny and terribly sincere show about the courage to say no and the desire to truly live.
