Le Sens du Ridicule

2 crazy actors come on stage, under the name of Raymond Devos and want to interpret sketches by the author.

Two actors come on stage, under the name of Raymond Devos and want to perform sketches by the author. Except that they both claim to be the real Raymond Devos. But which one? They provoke the public by causing trouble with an extraordinary comedy show. These two crazy artists will lead the show in full interactivity with the public. This comic comedy, original and offbeat, introduces us to the best of funny sketches by the great Raymond Devos, without ever imitating his style. You will hear Caen, The Perceptor's Possessed, The End of the End, I Have Doubts, Where Do They Run, Upside Down, etc. The staging, full of subtleties, draws the viewer into a crazy comedy, bringing a fresh twist to the author's sketches. Le Sens du Ridicule, was programmed in 2024 in the Raymond Devos Theater in St Rémy-lès-Chevreuses near Paris. This creation is celebrating its 6th OFF Avignon festival and was voted “Best comedy show in 2019” by Avignon à l’Unison out of 600 competing shows. The press talks about it : “A show not to be missed under any circumstances… This accomplice tandem in the interpretation, made it possible to rediscover the soul and the burlesque universe of the comedian without ever imitating his style of course. The two actors are accompanied by Philippe Josserand in the direction and acting, who paid a magnificent tribute to the French author, Raymond Devos, undisputed master of humor and the absurd. A treat of humor.” LA PROVENCE (Newspaper).
