Humoriste
Funny, unifier, subversive, Coluche was much more than a comedian. This show recorded at the Elysée Montmartre in 1976 brings together the greatest sketches of the comedian with a big heart: the cop, the poem, the cancer or the hitchhiker will make you laugh! A show that has remained in the annals thanks to the famous scene where Coluche tried to play "Le temps des cerises" on the violin... with boxing gloves!
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. But for lack of common thread and inventive staging, the show turns out to be wobbly. Not bad, certainly, with even a few good moments, but not convincing either. If the initiative was laudable, the result is likely to satisfy neither the frustrated fans of not finding everything they liked nor those who wanted to discover Olivier de Benoist in another register. Recorded in La Halle aux vins, parc des exposition, Colmar.
