Drag, a solo show by Jérôme Batteux, Expression 7, Limoges

Expression 7

On Thursday 19 November 2026 at 19:00 Expression 7 in Limoges presents Drag, a show by the Compagnie des Petites Secousses. The listing describes it as a show that stands up for the right to be oneself, written and directed by Jérôme Batteux, who performs it and is also its subject. It follows a moment when he stops trying to please everyone and recalls a childhood dream of becoming a world star. The listing says the show mixes pop and folk music with glitter and a good deal of immodesty, yet remains sincere. Flore Audebeau gave an outside eye, Bela Balsa created the choreography and Andrea Liqueer accompanied the drag work. The listing does not give a price. The performance is listed as running from 19:00 to 20:15. A solo show like this is easy to attend alone, as the audience shares one stage and one story. «Un spectacle qui milite pour le droit à être soi» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:15. Source: OpenAgenda — Accueil agenda spectacle vivant - DRAC : Nouvelle-Aquitaine (open data). The listing gives the cast, creative team and show description and the end time, but no ticket price.

Free blues duo concert at the Bastide library in Limoges

BFM de la Bastide

On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 14:00 the Bastide branch of the Limoges municipal library hosts the Laure Mura Duo for the Éclats d'Émail Jazz festival. Laure Mura sings and plays guitar and Terence Brenchley plays violin in a programme that follows the blues from its roots in the Mississippi Delta through gospel, folk and early rock to jazz. The listing opens with a line attributed to Ali Farka Touré, that America has only the leaves of the blues while the roots are in Africa. Entry is free subject to available seats. The concert lasts about an hour and a half, and it takes place on a Saturday afternoon inside a neighbourhood library. That is a gentle way to hear live music alone: the audience is local, the setting is relaxed, and you can sit near the back and just listen. «embarquez pour un voyage musical hors du temps» Starts 14:00, ends about 15:30.

Their music mixes styles from folk to bossa nova, with trip hop influences typical of the 1990s, and aims at a hypnotic sound. They name King Krule, Massive Attack and Labi Siffre among their influences. Entry is free, subject to available places, and the concert runs from 16:00 to 17:30. A small afternoon concert like this is easy to enjoy alone, since listeners are there for the same quiet music. «Elles visent un son hypnotique et cherchent à provoquer un sentiment envoûtant chez le spectateur.» Starts 16:00, ends about 17:30.

Free jazz piano trio by Léo Labarrière in Limoges

Hôtel de Région - Site de Limoges

On Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 14:30 the pianist and composer Léo Labarrière plays an intimate trio concert at the Hôtel de Région in Limoges, part of the Éclats d'Émail Jazz festival. He is known for mixing modern jazz, classical and contemporary music, and he won the best soloist prize at the 13th Action Jazz Tremplin.

How to go alone

Five steps for your first time

  1. Start with one hosted event; "Sustainable cooking workshop with Clara Zagroun, Limoges" fits.
  2. Read the official page first: date, price, language and whether a place has to be reserved.
  3. Arrive ten minutes early and tell the host you came alone. Hosts usually seat or introduce newcomers.
  4. Ask people how they found the event. Stay for the first hour, then leave or stay as you like.
  5. Go a second time. Familiar faces turn a first outing into a routine. In Meet & Mint you can see who else is going.

Questions people ask

Where do people in Limoges meet without swiping?

Pick an activity rather than a venue. Limoges has 34 listed events (music, learning, culture); start with "Sustainable cooking workshop with Clara Zagroun, Limoges" and "Drag, a solo show by Jérôme Batteux, Expression 7, Limoges" and go twice.

Is it normal to turn up alone in Limoges?

It is common. Drop-in formats assume that most people arrive solo, and organisers are used to seating newcomers.

Is this a way to find a partner?

No, they are ordinary group activities where nobody is on a date. That is the point: pressure is low, and if a connection happens it grows out of shared interest, not out of a profile.

Does meeting people in Limoges cost money?

Often not. 14 of 34 listed events in Limoges are free (14 within 30 days). Paid formats such as padel sessions or board-game cafés state the price on their page.

I'm new to Limoges and shy. Where do I start?

Pick something where you do things rather than only talk, such as a game night or a guided walk. Commit to one hour. In Meet & Mint you can chat with the group before you arrive, which makes the first minutes easier.
