La Vie Parisienne

Barclay Productions

Is Paris really all champagne cocktails on the Champs-Elysees? What about that night you woke up smiling in a Pigalle gutter, wearing nothing but feathers?

Welcome to Joe Zelli’s smoky Montmartre club, where the ghost of Serge Gainsbourg plays piano. Classic chansons from Brel, Josephine Baker, and more, sung by Bremner, with the phenomenal true story of Zelli’s 1920s Paris nightclub, where music and wild stories burned bright. The Scotsman says: “the perfect level of sexuality and tenderness.”

  1. Based around a Paris nightclub during the early 1900s. Great show! Most immersive performance seen thus far. Music selections, etc, were period correct. Rating: Fresh 🍅

  2. Unforgettable renditions of French songs, with original and translated lyrics. You don’t need to be familiar to be moved by Bremner’s masterful embodiment of the music. “Ne me quitte pas” is truly haunting, in the best way.

    If you enjoyed Onwards! (venue #12), this is a show for you, and vice-versa!
