Laurent Baffie « Oh putain Laurent ! »

Laurent Baffie returns to the stage with a new show in his own way: a stand-up in which he dissects his own trajectory, from the Ardisson years to the behind-the-scenes of television, including the jokes that were too blunt to make the final cut. True to his taste for the unexpected, he moves between sex, zoology, backstage anecdotes and on-the-spot improvisation, using anything that can serve as comedic material. Known for his quick wit, he brings back sketches that have become unbroadcastable on TV, tests ideas off the cuff and plays with boundaries without moralizing, relying solely on performance and wordplay.

People come to hear him pull threads, trap the obvious, deliver instant comebacks and provoke those calculated transgressions that have become his trademark. Baffie confronts an era in which people say you can no longer say anything, and uses that premise to restart the conversation live, alternating barbed remarks and observations of everyday life.
