As an American living in Paris, “the jokes are writing themselves”. That’s the sentiment from stand-up comedian Sarah Donnelly, whose act is taking the Anglophone comedy circuit by storm in Paris. She has lived in Paris for 12 years and has a French husband and children. Her comedy takes the mickey out of all the obstacles she has come up against during her life in France. Her first one-hour comedy special “The Only American in Paris” is available on her YouTube channel. She spoke to us in Perspective.
