Can we laugh at everything? The comedian Pierre Desproges replied that it depended on the public ... One of his heirs, called only by his first name, Haroun, proves that acid, black and tongue-in-cheek humor still has a future. He currently fills the room of the Edouard VII theater in Paris with only one on stage.
He has a head of class, with his little square glasses and his suit jacket. Haroun also joined a business school before going on stage alone in 2015.
The 30-year-old presents himself under this one first name, does not speak of his origins or his parents. With a smirk, he deciphers the news, and makes people laugh at Daesh, politicians, ecology and even AIDS in Africa. “ You must not forbid yourself from the subjects, and above all, laughter is something positive. It is important to show that this emotion is not prohibited on any subject. "
Haroun is spotted during the 2017 presidential campaign by broadcasting fake political interviews on the internet. Since then, it fills more and more large rooms in France. This Desproges admirer cites French comedians as first inspirers more than American stand-up comedians.
When Haroun bounces on the news
“ I became very interested in this model very late. And I keep looking at things that have nothing to do with what I'm doing today. It pleases me to see that there are all the forms that exist and that the stand-up is only one form among many others. "
A follower of improvisation, Haroun can bounce back on the news perfectly. And he tests new sketches on a dedicated site, pasquinade.fr, constantly putting his craft back on the book.
