Tickets for Amy London – I Wasn't Ready! – Lyon Tour 🎫
Presented by Vent du Sud (PLATESV-D-2023-005136). A need for a complete change. A need to rebuild. In 2021, Amy London left Nancy and her native Lorraine to escape a divorce and depression. She headed to Marseille, where this English teacher requested a transfer. New city, new beginning. Today, she performs alongside Manu Payet and Gad Elmaleh. She's invited to open mic nights, meets people in the industry, wins over audiences… the magic happens. Amy London's story is that of a female artist whose talents were initially stifled in Nancy, her hometown, and who finally found her true self once she arrived in Marseille. "Looking back, Marseille isn't my rebirth, it's my birth. For me, it's the beginning of everything, the place where I can fulfill my destiny. Here, people don't love me for my difficult past, but for who I am." In Marseille, I'm not the divorced woman or the mother: I'm me. "I Wasn't Ready" is the story of a teacher who wanted to change the world, but ended up changing her life. From the classroom to the stage, Amy London recounts her dramatic shift from the French national education system to an unexpected liberation, a leap into the unknown, and the labyrinth of modern relationships. With sharp humor and biting self-deprecation, she takes us on her journey of emancipation, navigating tradition, social pressure, and the quest for freedom. A teacher by day, a comedian by night… and then simply a comedian, she proves that it's never too late to choose your own path. A funny and incredibly sincere show about the courage to say no and the desire to truly live.
