Les Mecs comiques
Recorded at the Cabaret du Musée, the show is a clever mix of situation comedy and sketch comedy. An iconoclastic mixture of the experience of three young men (the young, the fag and the macho) and the transposition into sketches of their vision of the world. All the characters created by Jean-François Baril, Alex Perron and Louis Morissette serve as a valve for the guys to evacuate their very personal vision of today's world (parodies, monologues, songs).
