He does not forbid any subject.

In his show

Thursday, the comedian explains the interest he finds in dealing with his sensitive subjects.

For this, he takes the example of two passages in his show: one on the Islamic veil and the other on the demonstrations against violence against women.

"'I like controversial subjects, but in fact, I especially find it interesting to talk about it and to talk to each other," he explains.

According to Haroun, humor can be used to "polemicize peacefully".

In his sketch on the veil, he has a Muslim friend say, who thinks that women should wear a veil so as not to excite men, that he is more attracted to the calves than to the hair.

And therefore his wife is wearing football socks.

"Each time we lend a thought to an entire community or a people, we forget that in this community, there are people who do not agree with each other," he observes.

"And this, whatever the community or the people. And it's important to remember that everyone has their uniqueness and their own thoughts."

"What is objectionable about me when I try to show that I am an ideal person?"

What interests the comedian is also "to see to what extent, carried away by his emotion, one can exceed the limits".

Based on an anecdote that happened to him, he also tells in his show about a conservation he had with a protester against violence against women.

"I walked in this procession just because I was walking in the street at the time. And it challenged me to tell myself that I was counted among the demonstrators, when at the base I was not not come for that, "he says.

"It asked me about what engagement is and when it starts."

He sums up his writing work on the most sensitive social issues in one sentence: "I try to think about what is questionable in me when I try to show that, externally, I am someone ideal."
