After two shows where he delighted his audience with (falsely) misogynistic reflections, Olivier de Benoist returns to the stage, this time decided not to attack women anymore. Finally, less than usual ... With 0/40 years old, where he tells his life from birth to today, the humorist wanted to abandon the macho character who had made his success.
