La Baleine : Humour par David Castello-Lopes

I almost called this show “Le plaisir.” But then I realized that the only pleasures people would think of with a title like that would be those forbidden to anyone under 18.

However, for financial reasons, I want those under 18 to be able to attend my show as well. So I called it “Delicious.” In an hour and a quarter, I’ll try to unravel the complexity of what brings pleasure to human beings. Of course, pleasure can come from a glass of Chasselas that you savor slowly on the shores of the lake in the spring. But it can also be triggered by the death of someone you don’t like.

Of course, an unexpected promotion at work brings joy. But so does eating Gruyère in Gruyères, or knowing— as a French person, that we don’t pronounce the “z” in “Cétivaz” (which allows us to delight in correcting all the clueless people who make that mistake).

My goal is for this show to bring you a certain amount of pleasure, in a performance as delightful as eating Gruyère in Gruyères.
