Laurent Baffie

Laurent Baffie arrives at the Casino d’Arras in Arras on January 16, 2027 with his show Oh, f***ing Laurent. A French comedian and writer, he built his reputation on very direct quick wit, a taste for improvisation and constant interaction with the audience. On stage he moves between observations of everyday life, provocative questions and unexpected digressions, cultivating a confrontational humour that embraces its sharp edges and its silences. No unnecessary set, no frills: Baffie gets straight to the point, plays with limits and does not shy away from a face-to-face exchange when addressing the public.

You can recognize his way of sparking an idea in a single line and immediately following up, as if composing in real time. Topics are grabbed on the fly, the absurd is never far away, and provocation serves as a pretext for a tightrope act between embarrassment and bursts of laughter. Those who enjoy shows that rewrite themselves at each performance will see the appeal: here the moment matters, listening counts, and surprise does the rest. An evening designed for those who prefer irreverence to showmanship.
