To mark his official return to humor on Wednesday evening, PA Methot landed on the stage of the Grand Théâtre de Québec disguised as Maria von Trapp. He was surrounded by children, dancers, sellers of ice cream in bikes, balloons and all these beautiful people were happily singing a reworked version of The melody of happiness.
Has her two-year stage break transformed the Gaspé into a comic Guilleret apostle of the joie de vivre?
The masquerade finally lasted only time to recite the range of do and the good old PA Methot, storytelling and chial, returned to the gallop.
The monologue who launched his animation of the third gala of the Festival just to laugh Quebec focused on happiness, but the subject was ultimately only a pretext to pour his gall on the baristas who ask too many questions, the parks that children and schools no longer frequent where there are “no more paintings, berlingots of milk, lead pencil, but there is still beak.”
In short, PA as we like it.
Later during the evening, the host said, in a issue where he had the expectations that he was created responsible for an endemic anxiety, that there was nothing wrong with being correct, as the monologue he had just delivered.
This is how we could qualify our evening. This gala, without dead time, was also correct, or even more than correct. Understand here that all the guests have offered good monologues, without anyone really breaking the barracks. No ovation, but no indifference.
Lonely pleasures in the spotlight
For a reason that escapes us, there has been a lot of question of masturbation.
PA Methot, a regular at the gags under the belt, touched a word from it, as well as Benoit Essiambre, in the context where he told us about the circumstances surrounding the ablation of his testicles due to cancer.
He took leave on a touching note revealing that despite the test he went through, he had been a dad for two months.
Martin Perrizolo also ventured into the solitary pleasures area during a monologue who, after a cuckoo-culted departure, ended in hilarity when he listed the questions that passed through his head facing a partner carrying managable bobbettes.
Couples et handicaps
Couple relations, an eternal source of inspiration for humorists, were also in the spotlight. Tommy Nero played on slippery ground by confessing his preference for women who decide everything, the famous Germaine, but he got out with the enthusiasts and enthusiastic cheers of a lady sitting near us.
He had just said that he was looking for a woman who biting and who japs. “I want a Stockholm syndrome. I want to get attached to my kidnapper, ”he summed up.
Note also the beautiful complicity between Dominique Sillon and his colleague in a wheelchair of the show Changing roomsMichel Cordey. Their jokes on the disabled joyfully barely crossed the politically incorrect.
For example, in Cordey who had just declared that he would have liked to play Mike at Rona of the famous TV pub, Sillon replied that he would not have been credible “because people do not want to be advised by a guy who looks like an ill -mounted Ikea piece of furniture.”
Ouch!
- The next Gala just for laughs will take place Thursday evening, still at the Grand Théâtre, and will be hosted by Billy Tellier and Tommy Néron.
