A comedy show with a charitable twist: (In)voluntary Life Change

A humorous and biting one-man show written and performed by Jean-Michel Rallet. Mimi the Mighty — a cynical, grotesque climate-sceptic billionaire — may be living out his final day. Money, power, career changes, the business model of care homes, climate change.. It all comes under the microscope. And beneath the laughter, one question remains: can we really change? You might well end up hating him. Then you might have second thoughts.. Because sometimes, all it takes is a single shift for an entire life to be thrown into turmoil. Meet Mimi the Mighty Changement de vie is the (almost) true story of Mimi the Mighty, a cynical billionaire who is at times crude but above all grotesque. He’s here to give a lesson in success: what’s the quickest, cheapest, riskiest and most deserving way to get rich? He’s irritating with his smugness and arrogance, but you sense that behind the mask lies his true nature, which you’ll only discover after the phone call that’s set to change his life.. 5 good reasons to ensure you have a brilliant evening: An original style of writing that strikes a balance between biting punchlines and poetic moments, for lovers of wordplay and literary devices who can appreciate a touch of irony. A well-rehearsed show, having been performed over 200 times in France at cultural events and festivals. Excellent audience feedback highlighting the use of the French language, the show’s rhythm and its diversity. A show that won the Jury Prize at the 43rd Vienne Festival in 2025, France’s oldest comedy festival. A show that appeared at the Avignon Festival for the third year running last summer, featuring a new stage design with original and modern projections. A show that promotes solidarity and lifts the spirits: As part of his Rire Solidaire initiative, Jean-Michel Rallet has agreed to perform his show in aid of two charities committed to causes close to his heart: The CLIF – Collectif Liban France charity, which builds bridges between these two countries and supports, in particular, Lebanese children affected by the war; The LCTC – La Ciotat Tennis and Padel Club – to enable it to purchase a wheelchair for playing wheelchair tennis and wheelchair padel, complementing the initiative launched in October by the Rotary Club of La Ciotat Ceyreste with its 55th-anniversary raffle.
