Comedy Festival:
Tonight I went to see
Priorite A Gauche. The show (the brainchild of
two English comedians who met at Oxford) consisted of two French pop/rap stars,
named Didier and Jean-Francois, on tour. The show involved them doing French
translations of pop songs, Didier reciting a raunchy poem he composed for a
female audience member as the increasingly embarrassed Jean-Francois translated
it into English, and a rather silly drinking game, as well as a goodly amount
of audience interaction. They certainly had the Gallic pop star stereotype (the
leather jacket and aviator glasses, and the combination of arrogance,
oversexedness and over-the-top "coolness") down pat, and had the audience
laughing. Worth a look.
