Sandrine Alexi: dive into the life of this essential impersonator
If you have ever laughed watching Les Guignols de l’info, there’s a good chance you have already fallen under the charm of Sandrine Alexi. Born on January 4, 1966, in Antibes, this artist with stunning talent has marked generations with her impersonations and unique sense of humor.
Honestly, her journey is a true modern fairy tale. Imagine a young girl, passionate and already full of energy, who enjoys imitating everything and everyone around her, from idols like Claude François to cartoon characters like Tweety and Sylvester. She already knew this was her path, even if at first, she started in tourism, a somewhat more… down-to-earth choice.
Performing in piano bars, singing during summers, then joining a rock band, Sandrine affirmed her true calling: the stage! When her father encouraged her to audition at La Madonette, a dinner-show in Nice, she had no idea that her career would literally take off from there.
This time at La Madonette is also when she was noticed by Patrick Sébastien, a guy who believed in her immediately. She then started on TV, impersonating voices like Vanessa Paradis or Dorothée, and meeting Yves Lecoq changed everything: she joined Les Guignols. And then, watch out, her career took a major turn.
Who really is Sandrine Alexi? Her public identity and origins
Sandrine Alexi is above all a remarkable character. Daughter of hoteliers, she retains a simple and accessible side, but when she is on stage, she becomes a thousand voices at once. Beyond being an impersonator, she is also an actress and singer. Her work in Les Guignols de l’info on Canal+ remains a true reference where she impersonated icons like Marie Le Pen, Carla Bruni, and Ophélie Winter.
I remember, she has an incredible talent not only to reproduce voices but also the little expressions that make all the difference, that rare ability that makes her impersonations lively and irresistible. Despite her age, she continues to impose a crazy energy and freshness, as if time mattered little to her.
This mix of tenacity, passion, and naturalness is what distinguishes her so much. For 2026, over 60 years old, Sandrine is still here, ready to surprise and make people laugh, true to herself, sometimes a bit rebellious, but always endearing.
Her journey from a young girl to the national stage
This is where it gets really interesting. Before stepping on stage, Sandrine had a rather typical youth. She studied tourism, yes, but her heart was already beating for music and impersonation. Holidays spent singing in piano bars to early rock with the band Lyr, she gradually found her true voice.
The key is probably her tenacity. She started at La Madonette, a dinner-show where talents have to sell themselves to the public every night. And she succeeded: it is thanks to this experience that her future switched to television. There, she honed her skills, learned, improved, and above all, had fun.
I like to think that this period built her style, this mix of self-mockery, offbeat observation, and a touch of acidity that frankly made her performances a must-see on TV and then on stage.
And then, longevity being a factor, it’s not just about talent but also a real lasting career. She has brilliantly embodied a multitude of characters for over 20 years, even being the only female voice on Les Guignols for a good while.
Great successes and highlights of her impersonator career
Who doesn’t know her impersonations in Les Guignols de l’info? She lent her voice to Marie Le Pen, Carla Bruni, Dorothée, and even Ophélie Winter. She also worked for nearly ten years with Gérald Dahan and Didier Gustin on the Minikeums show.
Her energy and attention to detail are impressive. Between festivals like Montreux or Just for Laughs, and her appearances in On n’est pas couché or Groland, she has offered us a bouquet of incredible impersonations and thrilling stage moments.
In 2015, a surprise: a pop-rock album, Alexi à l’origine, showing that besides making people laugh, she can also sing. The highlight is her recent show, Sandrine Alexi flingue l’actu, written by Régis Mailhot, and her tribute to legends like France Gall and Véronique Sanson in Les Groupies du Pianiste.
That alone proves she is not just an impersonator but a complete artist, able to renew herself and always captivate her audience.
An intimate look at her private life and passions
Well, regarding her private life, Sandrine remains a bit discreet. But we know she cultivates a rather simple and balanced life, far from media turmoil. No unnecessary buzz, just a passionate woman who loves her life, her family, and her craft.
She is known for being very close to her friends and colleagues, regularly sharing moments of complicity, especially on Instagram where she enjoys joking with her fans. No husband or children splashed in big headlines, but real respect for her privacy.
What I like about her portrait is this subtle mix between the star on stage, who excels with her impressive status in the industry, and the normal woman, with her strengths and weaknesses, who keeps her feet on the ground.
