A unique, very funny and interactive show combining theater and improvisation in the tradition of the famous duo LES BONIMENTEURS (20 years of success on tour).

The President of the Republic entrusts Agent K, a commander in the DGSE, and Ducci from Les Bonimenteurs, who are complete opposites, with the mission of meeting the French people to boost their morale through the incredible values of theatrical improvisation. More than a simple improvisation performance, with refined, creative, and intelligent humor, “Les Hommes du Président” is driven by a real theatrical dimension around a story in total interaction with the audience. An extraordinary stage performance, different every evening, led at a furious pace by an explosive duo with boundless imagination. Pure entertainment for all audiences and families!

Bobzilla, Bob, Bobby, Michel des Collègues: a tireless big guy with titanium ears, the terror of Phocean Dancefloors.

Gifted with a certain taste for “good music”, whatever its color, combined with an innate sense of celebration and a musical culture as vast as it is eclectic, the man is as comfortable with a batcave bootleg as with a funk live set. Capable of chaining a French variety track with a reggae hit, followed by an electro remix, without anyone finding fault. Bob has the talent to lift the room, using a palette as wide as it is varied. He loves like no one else to mix genres to make people dance. And that’s what he has been doing for many years and will continue to do for a long time to come.

Until now playing the overwhelmed ditzy mom, Laurie Peret leaves the character behind to present herself as a woman, single, in her forties.

From her inability to manage a house alone, to her addictions against which she fights every other week, her love for dangerous guys or the complex story of her birth, she depicts her daily life as “a chain of entertaining catastrophes for which she is the sole responsible”. But although she is “her own worst danger”, she’s doing well. She’s doing well because she has finally met someone: herself. A 2nd effective show, much more stand-up than the first but still just as musical. We find her songs behind a small piano, her trademark, even if this time it’s no longer a toy but a real instrument with retro funk colors.

Time passing, and that we forget, until” we become adults and regret the essential… our childhood.

March 16, 2025

Born in Vitrolles, in an environment where the far right dominated, my future seemed doomed to failure.

I constantly felt hostility around me, as if I was always one too many.

As I grew up, I found the strength to feel good and safe thanks to my family, and later, thanks to the family I created.

The day I became a father, I felt a profound transformation. I was “no longer destined for” failure.

I now had a mission: to be resilient for those I love.

My show is an ode to resilience, an exploration of personal transformation, and a celebration of family bonds.

Come discover my story, that of a man who overcame obstacles and found his place in the world.”

We all have a Proustian madeleine, don’t we?

For me, it’s the smell of basil. For you, maybe it’s your grandfather’s cologne or a Backstreet Boys song. These memories that take us back to childhood, unique to each of us.

We are strangers, with different lives. Yet tonight, for the duration of a show, you’ll see: I am you, you are me.

We’ve all experienced these little moments of real life: a day job, a heartbreak, a lost key, an impulsive purchase despite the overdrawn account.

This is what makes us human, anchored in the present without forgetting where we come from. And that smell of basil that comes back…
