The comedy club with the best reviews in paris.
The Right Bank has its comedy clubs, the Rive Gauche has Kido. 75 seats, 2 m from the stage: here, stand-up happens at eye level — no filter, no back row.
The best comedians? Everyone name-drops them — we actually put them on stage.

Our Regulars
“Everyone announces the best acts —we put them on stage.”
Intimate — and that's the whole point.
We designed this room the way we like to experience comedy: right up close to the comedians, in a five-star setting. Everyone's a VIP, nobody's showing off.
Fancy trying your luck on stage? Check out our open mic nights — or just come and watch a one-man show.
An intimate room
75 seats, not one more. Small enough for the comedian to see you laugh, big enough for the whole place to erupt.
Everyone sees the stage
No bad seat, no pillar, no back-of-the-room. The best seat in the house is yours.
Tuesday to Sunday
Six nights a week, the stage lights up between 5pm and 9:30pm — start times shift with the night: 5pm, 6:30pm, 7pm, 8pm, 8:30pm, 9:30pm. Show up after work, leave having laughed way too hard.
For the full line-up, browse the comedy shows currently on. And because the Rive Gauche has its own addresses too, discover our Rive Gauche comedy club.
From the first drinkto the last encore
First time at a comedy club? Here's how the night runs, from boulevard Saint-Michel to the encore. Nothing is compulsory: come for the show alone, or take the whole evening with the Dinner & Show package.
- 6pmThe drink beforeThe bar opens at 6pm, Tuesday to Saturday. You start upstairs, glass in hand, while the room fills up and the night gets going.
- from 6pmDinner first, if you likeThe restaurant serves its Mediterranean menu — starter, main, dessert — on the ground floor, Tuesday to Saturday. Plenty of people do table then stage: that's the Dinner & Show package.
- ShowtimeDown to the basementFrom Tuesday to Sunday, shows start somewhere between 5pm and 9:30pm — your ticket tells you which slot is yours. You head down, you settle in, and the stage is two metres away.
- 90 minThe line-up, then the barThat's how long a line-up usually runs: comedians follow one another, and a surprise guest sometimes drops in unannounced. After the encore, the bar stays open until 1am.
On Sundays the room shifts gear with the Comedy Brunch, and on open-stage nights with the open mic.
The comedy club, your questions
Where is the Kido comedy club in Paris?
At 39 boulevard Saint-Michel, 75005 Paris, right in the heart of the Quartier Latin on the Rive Gauche — a stone's throw from the Sorbonne, the Odéon and the Jardin du Luxembourg. The highest-rated comedy club in Paris.
Which nights are there shows at the comedy club?
Tuesday to Sunday — six nights a week. Across the week the slots run 5pm, 6:30pm, 7pm, 8pm, 8:30pm and 9:30pm, and each night has its own line-up times. Sunday adds the Comedy Brunch from 11:30am.
How many seats does the room have?
75 seats, not one more, all 2 m from the stage. No bad seat, no pillar, no back-of-the-room: here stand-up happens at eye level.
Do I need to book for a stand-up show?
Yes, strongly recommended: the room only holds 75 seats and shows sell out fast. Booking online takes a few seconds.
Can the comedy club be booked out for a group?
Yes. We hire out the venue, in full or in part, for up to 150 people — stag do, hen do, seminar or company night — with a stand-up show tailored to your group.
How long does a show at the comedy club last?
Around 1h30 for a full line-up: comedians follow one another on stage, and a surprise guest sometimes drops in unannounced. After the encore, the cocktail bar stays open until 1am, Tuesday to Saturday.
Can we have dinner before the stand-up show?
Yes — and it's the whole spirit of the house: the restaurant serves its Mediterranean menu on the ground floor from 6pm, Tuesday to Saturday, before you head down to the comedy club. The Dinner & Show package brings the two together in a single evening.
How do I get to the comedy club by métro or RER?
Métro Cluny – La Sorbonne (line 10), Saint-Michel (line 4) or Odéon (lines 4 and 10); RER Saint-Michel – Notre-Dame (B and C) and Luxembourg (C); buses at the Les Écoles and Cluny stops. The venue is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
The comedy club of the Quartier Latin
No need to cross Paris: the room sits on boulevard Saint-Michel, between the Sorbonne, the Odéon and the Jardin du Luxembourg. Five métro and RER lines stop right at our door — handy when the gang is coming from all over.
