6.5Loriot, whose real name was Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow, or Vicco von Bülow for short (1923-2011), is considered to have been the greatest and most versatile German comedian of the twentieth century. From 1976 to 1978, Radio Bremen commissioned his six-part television series “Loriot”, in which live action skits alternated with short animated sketches. The series is believed to be the highpoint of Loriot’s television work and was to establish his cult status; it has long been an integral part of German cultural heritage.

0.0Caroline Estremo, a nurse by profession, decided to bring her first book to the stage: "#infirmière". Instead of plunging into tragedy, she opts for humor: "I wanted to talk about it with humor, because it's more listenable for the general public. We've been on strike for years, marching in the streets, but I have the impression that people no longer hear us or see us. So I chose a different strategy: to make people laugh and make them laugh." It is thus that her one-woman show was born.

7.6Magic Délirium is even more astonishing, more delirious, and more spectacular than previous shows. It was conceived with Calista Sinclair, his partner on stage and in life, and Sébastien Clergue, a French “illusion designer” who collaborates with the greatest American illusionists. The staging is once again by Étienne de Balasy. Éric Antoine offers us a spectacular new Music Hall show, adding a healthy dose of “grand illusion” and technology to the usual mix of humor, magic, philosophy, music, dance, and video. After exploring reality and unreality in Réalité ou Illusion (2008-2011) and secrets and mysteries in Mysteric (2011-2014), Éric has chosen belief as his theme this time: what or whom to believe... television, fairy tales, religions, miracles, parallel universes, the internet, extraterrestrials... ?
6.5I regularly wonder if the child that I was would be proud of the adult that I have become. If he would be happy to spend a moment with me, If he would laugh at my antics, If he would agree with my choices, If he would feel respected, reassured by my side, If I still have the innocence of his gaze, the sincerity of his words, If like him, I still believe in my dreams and those of others ... Come and find or rediscover with me our desire to play together!
6.0Katherine Levac has just given birth to two babies, but also to a new show. Nearly 60 minutes of unpublished material, recorded at the end of the summer in front of an audience, she tackles with sharpness and authenticity subjects such as assisted reproduction, grossophobia, sperm banks, climbing Everest, cows, La Vie d'Adèle and eating rubber. A tribute to the most productive, grandiose and constipated 9 months of her life.
8.0Phyllis Diller’s brand of comedy is as timeless today as it was in the 1960s, when she became a regular on popular variety and talk shows. From her outrageous costumes to wildly teased hair, Diller was a pioneer among female comediennes, paving the way for future stars. Who can forget her hilarious housekeeping and marriage tips, her beleaguered husband Fang, her cackling laugh and self-deprecating sense of humor? Phyllis Diller: Not Just Another Pretty Face highlights some of her best routines. Special guest stars such as Don Rickles and Dean Martin make this a fun trip back in time.
