<p>Robert Lamoureux: 50 years of career, more than 16,000 curtain raisers!<br><br> From his beginnings in Music Hall in 1949 to his Molière nominations in the 90s, we take a look back at 50 years of a career as little known as it is exceptional.<br> During his first audition in 1949, too afraid to sing, he told a story, made the audience laugh, and unknowingly invented stand-up comedy! In 1950, he hastily wrote a sketch an hour before a live television broadcast: "Papa, Maman la Bonne et Moi" (Daddy, Mommy, the Maid, and Me). It became the hit of the decade. In 1973, he told a short story to Gaumont, a film that became a cult classic with over 10 million viewers and countless television reruns even 40 years later!<br><br> We pay tribute to a life filled with encounters and happy coincidences... We meet Sacha Guitry, Louis de Funès, Edith Piaf, Yves Montand... We rediscover his greatest hits: "Papa, Maman, La Bonne et Moi", "La Chasse au Canard", ...<br> We are simply paying tribute to this 'genius jack-of-all-trades'!</p> Robert Lamoureux: the number 1 star of French comedy in the 1950s and a brilliant precursor of today's stand-up comedy...
