Description

With nearly 20,000 delighted spectators, Crétins des Alpes is much more than a tribute to Savoy... it's a true anthem!<div> Savoyard chauvinism is undeniable. And why not, with such beautiful mountains, lovely lakes, and wonderful people all around us? So, as we say back home: there's nothing to fear, by Jove!</div><div><br></div><div> This wacky show is an ode to the Savoy region. Through a series of fast-paced sketches, we laugh at clichés, preconceived notions, but also at our little quirks and habits that make Savoyard life a popular open-air comedy.</div><div><br></div><div> On stage, three high-energy actors take on a series of roles with contagious energy: mountain people, a ski instructor, high mountain guides, a shepherd, hunters, police officers... not forgetting the famous holidaymakers from Paris or elsewhere, who arrive in our mountains for the best and... for laughter!</div><div><br></div><div> A popular, generous and unifying show, where everyone recognizes themselves... closely or from afar.</div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Did you know that?</strong></div><div> Crétins des Alpes is Thomas Caruso Aragona's very first show. Inspired by his years of collaboration with Les Chevaliers du Fiel in Toulouse, and encouraged by Éric Carrière, he decided to create a humor rooted in his territory — because yes, the Savoyards also know how to laugh at themselves!</div><div><br></div><div> In the spirit of Les Inconnus, this show, performed by three energetic actors, quickly found its audience. A true cornerstone of the Comédie des Alpes project, it celebrated its 100th performance in April 2026 in Aix-les-Bains at a packed Casino Grand Cercle — a highlight for the entire company.</div>
