Laurent Gerra se met à table

Laurent Gerra takes a seat at the table, and current events are the day's special. A leading figure in impersonation and satire, the comedian presents a new menu of sketches, parody songs and incisive portraits in which politicians, singers and television and film personalities parade by way of his chameleon-like voices. True to his cabaret taste, he strings the acts together with precision, highlights tics, twists familiar refrains and serves up rapid-fire winks — vegans included. The through-line: a review of public and media life, Gerra-style, situated between biting commentary and musical pastiche. No unnecessary effects: he relies on the effectiveness of his phrasing, his ear for the audience and the musicality of his impersonations to bring current events to life, from caustic asides to sung counterpoint. You can recognise his way of simmering characters gently, then seizing them at exactly the right moment without overdoing the caricature. See you at the Arena Futuroscope in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou on 24 April 2027 for this new vintage from Gerra.
