Madame Meuf, politically incorrect

Hélène Vézier, also known as "Madame Meuf", was an underling for 15 years, including parliamentary attaché to the Senate.

“Mi bourgeois, mi marginal” as she likes to describe herself with the contraction “bourginale” this “cat punk” from a Sarkozy Catholic family did nothing expected.

Studies at Sciences Po Toulouse and a very controversial career choice among the public!

And, the height of mistrust, she works for the left, more precisely for the PS.

From her campaign anecdotes and the outings of her West Indian elected official whom she names “Martine” for more anonymity, to internal relations within the PS for whom she will pursue a mission after the Senate, there is something to say.

"Little hand" and not "right arm", because that is what we call young female parliamentary assistants,


If that evening the room is not necessarily completely conquered, Madame Meuf goes after a refreshing show, on a subject not necessarily expected and without falling into easy criticism.

A humor that could be described as cold with many exciting story moments.

It's a promising start for this forty-something who is decidedly better off in this new life.

Thais, Hymn to Joy

Thaïs enters his thirties like one robs a bank, with a lot of dynamite and handguns.

As during a real hold-up, she brings down one by one all the prejudices that one could have on femininity and especially on the fabulous life of a thirty-year-old still single.

Very comfortable with the slightest twists and turns of her tumultuous life, she unpacks everything!

We think in particular of the tasty story of waking up one morning next to Patrick, the last guy in the last box, yes, the one who staggers and whom no one wants.

Or again, his story at the duty pharmacy and his confrontation with the pharmacist who always tends to talk to women like children when it comes to emergency contraception.

She reports her difficulties in flirting on dating applications and the treasures of imagination and tricks deployed to hope to meet the person of her life or her night.

It was without counting on his family always present to remind him what is important: never, ever be afraid of ridicule.

A small preference for these moments of personal confession more than for his characters a little too easy and a little caricatural for our taste.

The comedian delivers crisp anecdotes to perfection and very raw formwork that leave no spectator unmoved.

Marion Mézadorian presents her

Pépites

at the Lucernaire.

Fabienne Rappeneau

Marion Mézadorian, Gems

Marion is a young woman who arrived in Paris 8 years ago.

She discovers new things about the City of Light every day, where she enjoys unearthing nuggets: colorful iridescent characters that she sketches with great talent.

This habit of listening to and observing the fanatics she meets on her way, she takes it from her childhood.

First object of study, his father, seller of fruits and vegetables on the markets, of Armenian origin with the banter all characteristic of the markets of Provence, well singing accent, ironic nicknames and well felt jokes.

Leaving her native village of Saint-Cannat to attend Florent lessons, the young woman continues her treasure hunt in the capital.

She notably meets her Parisian friend, a bit obsessed with her personal success,

by the new life of his former companion and little focused on what the comedian tells him.

Her agent who receives her "between two appointments" who finally proves to her that she would be better off without her or even the little boy she keeps ("like all actresses, I converted to babysitting") a little mischievous but quite cute.

But ultimately the jewel of her collection is surely her Armenian grandmother who stuffs her with baklava while recounting her very personal vision of life for whom the greatest misfortune anyone can survive is the divorce of her granddaughter. daughter.

An alternation of laughter and very beautiful paintings in which the nuggets come to life.

Tania Dutel, The others

“The others”, a vast concept in the life of Tania Dutel.

She observes them, is wary of them, approaches them and often seems disappointed by them.

As she definitely cannot live alone, the young woman invents a life for herself, an imaginary high-potential son and a childhood sweetheart who has become her husband.

All this is obviously only a deception intended to deceive the choice: her most curious interlocutors or herself?

The very cynical thirty-year-old with a sharp look tailors a well-fitted suit for her parents: her father obsessed with his lagoon and her non-French-speaking mother who mistreats the language of Molière.

She continues on her romantic relationships: her meeting with a foot fetishist or the dazed reactions that could be provoked by the relationship she had with a woman for a year.

An appointment in the catacombs of Paris with his date of the day, renamed "Hake", in an underground context, and his friends, worshipers of the "Cata", takes on the air of a survival camp.

She obviously handles grating humor but also much less light subjects, when the laughter is silent to listen to her chilling testimony.

If the others have simply "rotten her life", she still finds the strength to share, often with great finesse, her sharp reflections on life with us... "the others".



"The others", June 23, 24 and 25 at the European (Paris 17th).

Élodie Arnould in

Future Grande?

2.0

at the Apollo Theatre.

Christine Coquilleau

Élodie Arnould, Future great?

2.0

The young woman revealed by social networks during the first confinement finally goes on stage in a very refreshing "American" show.

She starts from an observation: she does not want to grow up!

Finally at his age, it would be better to say "to grow old" because the young woman of 34 years with a somewhat juvenile physique had to confront the world of adults.

A job as a mechanical engineer that plunged her into an almost exclusively male world that deeply nourished her show.

She approaches without any borders her motherhood, the joys and disappointments of her pregnancy about which she has also written a book (The zero taboo guide to pregnancy: All that we do not tell you and more, First, 2021), and his encounter with the medical world.

A slap.

As a good representative of her generation, she skilfully handles feminism and humor, and denounces the systemic racism of which she is often the victim.

A commitment that she pursues in the sketches that she publishes on her Instagram account.

A few surprises punctuate the show (don't insist, you won't know more!) and give rhythm to the rare moments of latency.

A very promising first show.
