INTERVIEW
In the new issue of Matthieu Noël on Europe 1, L' Equipée sauvage , Ary Abittan tells how the profession of comedian has imposed on him.
"When I started 20 years ago, there were seven people at the Hall of Mirrors"
Ary Abittan is very good at summarizing himself his professional rise. For that, it is enough to listen to it speak of its beginnings. "When I started 20 years ago, there were seven people at the Ice Palace, and it was great, I was already very happy," he recalls. Revealed in the eyes of the general public with the movie What did we do to God? Ary Abittan now has another success in his shows. His last, My story , is scheduled to tour all over France. "It was my children who advised me to do this title, a show where I talk about my childhood, my adolescence, my celibacy and impromptu meetings," he explains.
"My goal was to distract and make people laugh"
Even though he started as a taxi driver, "to please his father", Ary Abittan quickly realized that he would do nothing but actor. "I did not have a choice, I did not know what to do," says the actor. "I always dreamed of going on stage, and at first I did not even know you could do it, but my goal was to distract and make people laugh," says the actor.
