SOPHIA ARAM "LE MONDE D'APRÈS "** (THE WORLD AFTER)

"For my 5th show, I've chosen to have fun with the dinginess of an era that has managed the feat of resurrecting the crazy people we thought we'd forgotten and inventing new ones that have nothing to envy the first.
I dedicate this show to the anti-vaxers who are discovering the harmlessness of a fake vaccine in the face of a real virus, to the middle-class girls with their asses tucked into their leggings who come to atone for their holidays in Courchevel by promoting a rigorist Islam that they will neither have to endure nor fight, to the anti-Semites who have lost their complexes thanks to a candidate who has achieved the feat of being Jewish and a Petainist, to the yellow waistcoats who have come to vomit their beer on the tomb of the unknown soldier, to the conspiracists, populists and brainless people who excuse them as much as they use them. To the Putinolaites who, after shouting every Saturday about dictatorship in our country, admiring the fist of a lawless autocrat... "

VICTOR PARNASO PART 1 (Running time 15 min)

A native of Dijon who now specialises in comedy clubs and cafés in Paris, Victor has an incredible ability to become your buddy without you even realising it. With a microphone, he's even more natural than without. With a microphone, he turns any story into a formidable sketch. With a microphone, he could even make people on the RER B at 8am smile. In short, come and see him on Friday night: he'll have his microphone! "
Victor Parnaso is a regular support act for Thomas Marty, both in Paris and on tour of France's zeniths. He has set up a comedy club with Samuel Durand, the concept of which is to "come and laugh about work, after work"!

- Saturday 7 March

MAYEL EHLAJAOUI "IL ETAIT UNE FOIS MAYEL" (ONCE UPON A TIME MAYEL)

You probably already know Mayel as Georges, one of the main characters in Demain nous appartient, the TF1 soap opera that attracts millions of viewers every evening! But did you know that behind Georges hides quite a character: Mayel. That's what he invites you to discover in his show: Il était une fois Mayel.
Through anecdotes and zany (but real!) characters, Mayel will take you on a journey through his funny life, and it's well worth the diversions. From his youth in Amiens, to his arrival in Paris, his holidays in the 'bled', his fans and his life as a man, he'll sweep you away in this dynamic and funny show!
A finely honed conversationalist with a sharp repartee and boundless energy, Mayel is just as at home in improv as he is on stage. In this generous show, you'll see a whole new side to his personality, with devastating humour but always with tenderness and kindness!

THIEBAUD DEROZIER IN THE FIRST PART "HORS-CHAMP" (duration 15min)

Thiébaud Derozier, a comedian from Dijon, unveils Hors-champ, his first stand-up show. Thiébaud doesn't always understand everything. By dint of feeling out of place, he's finally found his place: out of the spotlight. Behind his appearance as the eternal top of the class, he recounts with humour and self-mockery the feeling of being at cross-purposes with others, with love, with the world of work, from his own place. Hors-Champ is the story of a sincere guy and his need to understand a world that doesn't always look like him.
Thiébaud Derozier has opened for Guillermo Guiz, Tanguy Pastureau and Paul Mirabel. He set up the Chouette Comedy-Club collective to promote stand-up comedy in Dijon and the wider region.
