Once upon a time... "The other day..." is his catchphrase, his trademark: the expression that introduces each of his sketches. A true storyteller of everyday life, Olivier de Benoist recounts with verve and finesse his life experiences inspired by his family, the world of work, society... all of which are inexhaustible sources of jokes and anecdotes with highly laughable potential. With this man who defines himself as a popular comedian with a script, routine always turns into an adventure novel. A one-man show designed especially for Comédie+, so you can say... "The other day, I laughed so hard!" Recorded on June 25, 2025, at the Théâtre des Sources in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, in the Hauts-de-France region, for the benefit of the Canal+ Group's Comédie+ channel.
In this show, Yann Marguet explores the most fundamental questions of our existence with his characteristic finesse and absurdity. From the infinitely large to the infinitely stupid, he dissects our anxieties, hopes, and contradictions with a pen that is both poetic and powerful.

With polished staging and finely crafted writing, he invites us to laugh at this existential vertigo, ultimately leaving us with an unexpected tenderness in the face of our own absurdities. Recorded on May 16 & 17, 2025, at La Cigale in Paris's 18th arrondissement for the TF1 Group's TMC channel.
