After the artistic agency of
Dix pour Cent
, the screenwriter Fanny Herrero turns to a new world of lights, the stand-up.
Entitled
Funny
, his new series will follow four characters driven by the same passion: to make people laugh.
A challenge that will sometimes turn out to be more difficult than expected.
The streaming platform unveiled a trailer on Tuesday, February 15.
It all starts in a Parisian comedy club known as “Drôle” where four young comedians meet every day and take to the Parisian stages.
In the cast, we find Mariama Gueye, Younes Boucif, Elsa Guedj, Jean Siuen in the respective roles of Aïssatou, Nezir, Apolline and Bling.
A common dream: to conquer the Parisian boards
First character but not the least, the young mother Aïssatou, returned on stage after the birth of her daughter, very quickly knows a great success with a sketch on her sex life.
Exposed on the networks, she will see her life, and in particular her life as a couple, shaken up by her media exposure.
If inspiration is innate for some, for others it is sometimes more complicated.
Thus Bling, a former stand-upper, cannot get back on stage due to a blockage to find new jokes.
Others are beginners like Apolline, a young woman from a bourgeois family whose first jokes on stage will have difficulty finding their audience.
Finally, Nezir, who lives alone with his father, struggles to make ends meet.
Humor will be for him, as for the other protagonists, an outlet for the world around them and their everyday life.
A quartet that we will discover shortly before spring, March 18, 2022 on Netflix.
