English term or phrase: I\'m where the party\'s at
Bonjour,
il s'agit d'un texte dans lequel le personnage évoque une partie de sa vie.
Style assez familier.
Contexte direct : il évoque cette époque au cours de laquelle il s'est lancé dans les spectacles comiques.

Maybe the most important thing I’ve learned by going on stage 100s of times and watching many more comedians than ever is:“I am where the party’s at.”
The audience is an X-ray machine. They can see when I am nervous or scared. They will pounce. But if I KNOW that I am where the party is at, then I KNOW I am the one having fun.

Merci pour votre aide.

neutral  Tony M: To me, this is a counter sense, implying "wherever there's a party, I'll be there" — but the s/t is more subtle: "the party happens in me"
