Soirée découverte jeudi – Festival National des Humoristes

Adèle Barbers
Is there a world between Alain Juppé and Gad Elmaleh? Not for Adèle Barbers. After 8 years in politics, 5 in diplomacy, and 1 existential crisis, she changed course: she could have become a coach, but chose comedy. From the Ors de la République to the Planches and intermittence, Adèle navigates between self-mockery, social observation and political satire. In “malàdroite”, she tackles a wide range of subjects: current affairs, ecology, feminism… everything is covered, not forgetting a few tasty revelations about the corridors of power. A corrosive, intelligent and deliciously provocative show.

Thomas de Fouchécourt
“They say you can project a lot onto a name. My name is Thomas de Salivet de Fouchécour. It’s hard not to project. I spent as much time researching the story behind this name as I did writing it.” Between personal account and reflection, Thomas mixes irony and sincerity to question the way others look at us and the way we tell ourselves.

Victor Ghesquière
With a laugh that’s unifying without being consensual, and an offbeat, no-holds-barred tone, Victor ploughs a furrow that wins people over. For this native of the Plat Pays, there’s no such thing as platitude. For him, laughter is upward, imbued with self-mockery. High and colorful, he demolishes the absurd and the ridiculous of our times. Seven festivals have already welcomed him. All of them have crowned Victor’s flight to fame.

Jeanne Élima
“A stormy woman, a rubber woman, Jeanne Élima is definitely not a comedian like the others. Somewhere between parody and pantomime, this impossible-to-pigeonhole comedienne shatters the glass ceiling of traditional shows and sweeps audiences away with her constant creative fire. A whirlwind of sensitivity and humor!
