JEAN-MICHEL MARTEL HUMOUR, MON AMOUR

In Humour, mon amour, Jean-Michel Martel breaks down the many styles of stand-up comedy: political, bawdy, absurd, observational and more. With plenty of love (and a generous dose of irony), he pays tribute to the discipline he cherishes above all else. His goal is to answer existential questions that no one really asks: “What is humour?”, “Why is that funny?” and “Is it just me, or…?” In his own unique way, Jean-Michel makes audiences laugh and think as he examines humour from every angle. The show journeys deep into the soft science of comedy, exploring its inner workings, mechanics and the subtleties of comedic techniques. It’s more than just a comedy show; it’s also… um… something else! Directed by Vincent Léonard
