Description

Laurent Baffie's corrosive humor and inimitable verve in a wacky and interactive parody of the small screen.<div> Welcome to the set of Culture for All, a general knowledge quiz show... not quite like the others. For 18 weeks, Paulette, an adorable grandmother as brilliant as she is unflappable, has been racking up victories. A problem for Franck Petit, an unscrupulous producer, determined to get rid of her—even if it means rigging everything.</div><div><br></div><div> To bring down the ratings (and Paulette with them), all the ingredients are there: a totally overwhelmed host, a scandalous contestant, an over-excited warm-up act... and situations that degenerate at breakneck speed. Manipulation, dirty tricks, total absurdity: the live show will quickly descend into chaos.</div><div><br></div><div> Created by Laurent Baffie, the undisputed master of biting wit and unfiltered humor, this comedy has become a true public success. True to his style, Baffie gleefully dissects the inner workings of television and its excesses, from cynicism and superficiality to the relentless pursuit of ratings.</div><div><br></div><div> An explosive, fast-paced, and deliberately irreverent comedy where the audience becomes complicit in the madness. A great moment of laughter... with absolutely no guarantee of good taste!</div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Did you know that?</strong></div><div> With Sex, Schemes and General Knowledge, Laurent Baffie enjoys diverting his experience from the television world, he who became known to the general public through his interventions as sharp as they were unpredictable in shows like Tout le monde en parle.</div><div><br></div><div> At La Comédie des Alpes, this show marks a deliberate departure: freer, more audacious, closer to pure café-theatre. A true guilty pleasure for the troupe, who clearly had a lot of fun putting it together... and evidently for the audience too!</div>
