Do you know comedian Max's Evans?
Probably not yet, but this 22-year-old young man, looking like Kev Adams, his model, does everything for it.
In order to launch his young career, he has just rented, for Saturday evening, the Palais des Congrès de Montélimar which has 1,500 seats.
Europe 1 met him before this big meeting.

Max's Evans, 22, is an ambitious young comedian.
After only a handful of shows in bars in the Drôme, he decided to think big by renting the Palais des Congrès de Montélimar, which has 1,500 seats, for Saturday evening.
A first for this still unknown artist who has never played in front of more than 300 people.

"It's the big room where Kev Adams, where Alban Ivanov played. It's a stroke of poker!", Says Max's Evans at the microphone of Europe 1, a few days before this big meeting.
"Either it works and people like it, or it doesn't and I sleep in a Quechua tent."
"At least 10,000 euros for basic costs"
This young comedian relies above all on his own savings to see himself at the top of the bill at the Palais des Congrès de Montélimar.
"You have to count at least 10,000 euros for the basic costs", he underlines.
"It's true that it's with savings, especially when you're young, it's very complicated to apply for credit," says the artist, who explains that a bank still accepted a loan from the young man.

Preparing for this meeting is an opportunity for the comedian to draw up two categories: "There are people who will invest in real estate or other. I decided to invest in this so that it become my job and that it can work."
The support of the mayor of Montélimar
The only support from which Max's Evans benefited was that of the mayor of Montélimar, Julien Cornillet, who had posters put up in town for his show.
"It's this entrepreneurial side and especially this audacity that I liked", he says at the microphone of Europe 1. "He is dynamic, and he really puts his financial means into play, so he is a real bet", remarks the mayor.
