NINE COMEDIANS TRUST THIS EVENING ON COMÉDIE + - The Comédie + channel broadcasts Thursday evening "Premiers pas, mon premier Télé gala".

A documentary that questions nine comedians, seven men and two women, on the way in which the comedy galas, relayed on TV and on social networks, have allowed them to emerge in the very competitive humor sector.

INTERVIEW

Nine comedians confide.

Comédie + gives the floor on Thursday evening to Alban Ivanov, Alex Vizorek, Arnaud Tsamère, Bérengère Krief, Jeanfi Janssens, Jérémy Ferrari, Laura Laune, Monsieur Fraize and Tanguy Pastureau, in the documentary 

Premiers pas, mon premier tele gala

.

A very beautiful cast where everyone tells their first filmed steps, whether successful or not, within comedy galas.

But why take a particular interest in the first televised galas?

Because these are very important moments for young artists.

"These galas are a way of existing with your peers, and above all to have a much greater visibility with the public. So for them it is a very privileged moment, but also very stressful", clarifies for Europe 1 Christophe Meilland, at the origin of this documentary.

"There are comedians who started at the Montreux festival or at the 'Just for Laughs' festival. It was very moving moments, and I found it great to bring them back to these moments which were quite magical for them."

"The artists gave themselves up as if they were at my house"

Christophe Meilland is neither a journalist nor a director: he is a producer of shows, specifically TV galas. And he has already worked with all the artists in the documentary, saw them debut for some. A proximity that benefits the quality of the documentary, because the artists easily confided.

"All the interviews were disconcertingly easy, because they were delivered as if they were at home, around a table," he says. "It's really the impression I wanted to give: a confidence, but which is not exclusive for the viewer or more. I wanted to show them that comedians are not only people who amuse the gallery, but also people extremely sensitive. " 

First steps, my first TV gala 

is broadcast Thursday evening on Comédie + at 8:55 pm, and available on MyCanal.
