Amy London

A need to change everything. To rebuild oneself. In 2021, Amy London left Nancy and her native Lorraine to put distance between herself, a divorce and depression. Off to Marseille, where this English teacher requested a transfer. New city, fresh start. Today she performs alongside Manu Payet and Gad Elmaleh.

She is invited onto open-mic stages, meets people from the industry, wins over audiences... the magic happens.

Amy London's story is that of a female artist whose talents were first stifled in Nancy, her home town, and who becomes truly herself once she lands in Marseille.

« With hindsight, Marseille is not my rebirth but my birth. It is for me the beginning of everything, the place where I can fulfil my destiny. Here, nobody loves me for my difficult history, but for who I am. In Marseille, I am not the divorced woman or the mum: I am me.  »

« I wasn't ready  », is the story of a teacher who wanted to change the world, but who ended up changing her life. From the classroom to the stage, Amy London recounts her balancing act between the Éducation nationale, an unexpected liberation, a leap into the unknown and the maze of modern dating.

With sharp humour and biting self-deprecation, she takes us along on her journey towards emancipation, between tradition, social pressure and the quest for freedom. Teacher by day, comedian by night... then simply a comedian, full stop, she proves that it is never too late to choose your own path.

A show that is funny and painfully sincere about the courage to say no and the desire to truly live
