He is vulgar, alcoholic, unfaithful, intolerant. We can add to the list of adjectives misogynist, obsessed, clumsy ... He says he is the "George Clooney of raclette". In broad outline, the portrait of Jason Chicandier is not very bright. On Twitter and Facebook, he regularly shares his troubles on video. In real life, Chicandier is called Laurent Regairaz and is from Saint-Etienne (Loire).
This 41-year-old former notary converted to the scene. A dream since he was 12 years old. He then decided to take the plunge by performing on the stage of the Comédie de Paris with his show "A day without hunger", co-written with Mathias Cannarito, on the bill since January 16. Well he took it because it is frankly funny.
This uninhibited beauf character from start to finish is hilarious. Chicandier makes his entrance with great fanfare, cleaving the audience, dressed in simple boxing shorts while the music of Rocky resounds in the room. Very quickly, he suffocates and must catch his breath. The "cassoulet / Belgian beers diet" must have gone wrong. Because Chicandier is a bon vivant. Always in excess, both on good food and on drink.

- Jason Chicandier (@chicandier) December 28, 2019With flowery language and a certain art of metaphor, the character returns to his unbridled relationship with his wife, to the family meal where we talk about pergolas, to his family vacation at La Grande Motte ... In the evening, Chicandier can fall asleep completely drunk in front of "Josephine Guardian Angel". But what he likes above all is to put himself "blue metal" on Friday noon, that is to say to get drunk more than reason.
Do not expect refinement in "A day without hunger". It's the character who wants that. Yes, Chicandier is unbearable, outrageous, cheeky. The embodiment of the Rabelaisian style. His bad faith makes him endearing. We love this completely assumed beauty which, above all, makes us laugh. On stage, Chicandier imposes his style and does not forbid anything. Even raise your elbow with your friend Mathou!
