Sofia’s humor is playful but incisive, a comedic palate that mixes sweet and sharp in the same breath—much like the title she wears proudly. Presenting her here, we’re preparing the room for laughter that ripples and builds, for an evening that tightens with tempo and spontaneity, and for the unmistakable feeling that a performer is genuinely conversing with the people in front of her.

Inside Ketchup Mayo - Nouvelle version at Salle Victor Hugo

Ketchup Mayo - Nouvelle version is the kind of one-woman show we love to host: a living, breathing piece of stagecraft that evolves with each audience. Sofia Belabbes plays with contrasts—family lore against the speed of modern life, food metaphors against social codes, self-deprecation against razor-sharp observation—using them as levers to pull surprising truths to the surface. In our space, her timing lands with precision: a pause becomes a setup, a glance becomes a callback, and a tossed-off aside turns into a running gag. Her crowd work is generous and playful, never at the expense of the spectator, and her writing glides from intimate confession to social snapshot with ease. The “nouvelle version” tag isn’t a gimmick; it’s an artistic stance. Sofia keeps sculpting the show to keep it vivid—tightening a beat here, expanding a scene there, and leaving room for the spontaneous detours that make live comedy addictive. At Salle Victor Hugo, that approach shines, because the room invites listening and laughter in equal measure.

As a venue, we follow the artistic momentum of the comedians we host, and Sofia’s recent activity has been unmistakably vibrant. Beyond the headline of Ketchup Mayo - Nouvelle version, she has been refining new material in short-form sets and club appearances, teasing sketches that her followers quickly share and quote. Attendees can expect the polished backbone of the show plus fresh edges from recent bits she has road-tested, including “Couscous vs. Carbonara,” a playful culinary face-off that turns into a smart riff on identity and taste; “HR’s Favorite Emoji,” a satirical sprint through office culture and corporate tone; “Tupperware Diplomacy,” an affectionate take on family negotiations at the dinner table; “Metro Minute,” a rapid-fire ode to public-transportation awkwardness; and “Voice Notes at 2AM,” a confessional about modern communication and its comic fallout. These pieces, which Sofia has been honing onstage and in digital clips, reveal a writer-performer invested in rhythm as much as punchlines. Bringing that momentum into Salle Victor Hugo means an evening where each segment clicks into the next, where improvisation sparks new connections, and where the audience gets the rare privilege of seeing a comedian mid-flight, both sure-handed and joyously open to surprise.
