Very Good Show

What Very Good Show does

Very Good Show is a Paris-based theatrical production company and venue operator that produces live performances, primarily French-language stand-up comedy and music concerts, and books these productions into its own venues and external tour circuits. The company operates three owned Paris theaters: Le Métropole (100 seats, 39 Rue du Sentier, 75002), Le Palais des Glaces (main hall 270/400/500 seats plus Le Petit Palais at 100 seats, 37 Rue du Faubourg du Temple, 75010, renovated in 2022), and Le Palace (8 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009). Beyond its owned venues, Very Good Show manages touring productions of its roster artists — Samuel Bambi, Jeremy Hababou, Nordine Ganso, Sara Connard, and Ilyes Mela — across 20+ French cities and internationally into Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada.

The company's core product is full-service live entertainment production: it handles booking, touring coordination, venue programming, press relations, and ticketing distribution. Ticket sales flow through the company's owned website (verygoodshow.com) and a network of third-party platforms including France Billet, Ticketmaster, Tick&Live, Weezevent, and venue-specific portals. The technology stack is conventional web/e-commerce with no proprietary AI, API, or platform technology disclosed; the company's value is concentrated in physical venue assets and artist relationships rather than software.

The business model is event-driven, monetizing each performance through ticket sales with revenue split between the company (as venue operator and producer) and artists. The company is privately held with a lean team of 5 employees led by producer Mickael Chetrit, and operates with no external funding, no parent company, and no public financial disclosures. Geographic reach spans all 13 French metropolitan regions plus three international markets, with calendar visibility extending into 2027.
