Paris-Lille travelers will not be disappointed! The SNCF plans to launch stand-up shows on its trains and is testing the experience on a TGV on October 17. It is the French comedian Baptiste Lecaplain who will be responsible for entertaining users between Paris and Lille. The spectators, on the other hand, will not be simple travelers but influencers and journalists specially invited for the occasion.

An evolving project in the event of positive feedback
The concept was called “TGV Inoui Comedy Club” and should bring together spectators and the guest comedian in the bar car, reports BFMTV . The project would evolve, and therefore become more widespread, if it arouses the approval of the first travelers.
The TGV bar car is already the meeting place for thematic workshops on the North axis, our colleagues point out. Indeed, discussions around agriculture, the importance of the short circuit, and other topics focused on ecology are offered for travelers heading to the North.
