Camille Chamoux
Camille Chamoux is having her biggest year yet, with two films hitting French cinemas in spring 2026 and a sold-out one-woman show running through June.
The context
France’s funniest multi-hyphenate is everywhere right now. Camille Chamoux, actress, screenwriter, stand-up comedian, has spent years building a reputation as one of the sharpest comic voices in French entertainment, and 2026 is the year it all lands at once.
The immediate trigger is ‘Anna et les enfants’, a comedy directed by Diane Clavier (her directorial debut) releasing in French cinemas on 3 June 2026, in which Chamoux plays the lead: a woman with a full-blown phobia of children. It’s the kind of high-concept comic premise she owns, and it arrives hot on the heels of ‘Tout va super’, a comedy-drama directed by her partner Patrick Cassir, which dropped on 27 May 2026, meaning Chamoux has two films in cinemas within a week of each other.
On stage, she’s well into the run of her one-woman show ‘Ça va, Ça va’ at the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, playing until 20 June 2026. The show tackles health, the body, and mortality through a comic lens, classic Chamoux: funny about things that aren’t supposed to be funny.
Television audiences know her from Jonathan Cohen’s cult mockumentary series ‘La Flamme’ (2020) and its sequel ‘Le Flambeau’ (2022), where her character Chataléré became one of the most quoted comic figures on French TV. She’s now added Calamity Jane in the 2026 ‘Lucky Luke’ series to her résumé, proving she’s as comfortable in broad genre comedy as she is in intimate stand-up.
Born in Paris in 1977, Chamoux has been quietly stacking credits, co-writing ‘Premières vacances’ with Cassir, appearing in ‘Juste ciel!’ and ‘Pétaouchnok’ (both 2022), but 2026 is the moment the general public is catching up with what comedy insiders already knew: she’s the real deal.
