Mr. Manatane's notebooks

Une Prof De Ouf

With his off-kilter sense of humor, polyglot Gaspard Proust takes a mischievous delight in undermining the human quirks in this stand-up comedy, mixing insolence with elegance. A new sensation of the french stand-up scene and an outspokenness that needs to be heard to be believed.

Oklahoma mechanic Pike Peters finds himself part owner of an oil field. His wife Idy, hitherto content, decides the family must go to Paris to get "culture" and meet "the right kind of people." Pike and his grown son and daughter soon have flirtatious French admirers; Idy rents a chateau from an impoverished aristocrat; while Pike responds to each new development with homespun wit. In the inevitable clash, will pretentiousness and sophistication or common sense triumph?

Stéphane Rousseau - Brise la glace

Caroline Estremo, a nurse by profession, decided to bring her first book to the stage: "#infirmière". Instead of plunging into tragedy, she opts for humor: "I wanted to talk about it with humor, because it's more listenable for the general public. We've been on strike for years, marching in the streets, but I have the impression that people no longer hear us or see us. So I chose a different strategy: to make people laugh and make them laugh." It is thus that her one-woman show was born.

Phyllis Diller’s brand of comedy is as timeless today as it was in the 1960s, when she became a regular on popular variety and talk shows. From her outrageous costumes to wildly teased hair, Diller was a pioneer among female comediennes, paving the way for future stars. Who can forget her hilarious housekeeping and marriage tips, her beleaguered husband Fang, her cackling laugh and self-deprecating sense of humor? Phyllis Diller: Not Just Another Pretty Face highlights some of her best routines. Special guest stars such as Don Rickles and Dean Martin make this a fun trip back in time.

Loriot, whose real name was Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow, or Vicco von Bülow for short (1923-2011), is considered to have been the greatest and most versatile German comedian of the twentieth century. From 1976 to 1978, Radio Bremen commissioned his six-part television series “Loriot”, in which live action skits alternated with short animated sketches. The series is believed to be the highpoint of Loriot’s television work and was to establish his cult status; it has long been an integral part of German cultural heritage.
