INTERVIEW
Politics, society, religion: Stéphane Guillon spares nothing or anyone in his show Prolongation in the theater Tristan Bernard in Paris. In L'Equipée sauvage on Europe 1, the comedian confides on the laughter he provokes.
"At no time am I offensive or insulting"
"The comedian is not a citizen above the others but on the other hand, he has the right to excess," says Stéphane Guillon. "You have to stay in the field of what is acceptable, and a comedian does not have the right to defamation or make racist remarks," he says. But from this observation, freedom is total, says the former troublemaker Canal +. "There is no denigration in my skits, and at no time am I derogatory or insulting," he says. And the humorist trusts the public to understand that there is no disrespect in what he does. "I'm counting on people's intelligence," he says.
"I have the impression that we come to secretly laugh in my show"
In Prolongation , Stéphane Guillon is therefore faithful to himself and he does not hesitate to shake his audience. "It is when it is forbidden that laughter is the most tasty," says the comedian. "I often make the comparison with prohibition, when people came to drink alcohol in secret, I have the impression that one comes laughing secretly in my show," he says. A "pleasure" freedom for him, "and I also hope for my audience".
