Fary is back on stage, and at the top of its form. Three years after hexagon, his successful stand-up that he had had the cheek to play in the middle of the AccorHotels Arena in Paris surrounded by some fifteen thousand spectators, the humorist cowards (almost) French identity questions for Address the chimeras of the couple and love. Thirty spent, with a faithful audience notably acquired thanks to the dissemination of his shows on Netflix, Fary has long matured this new theme. It was time to “say things on stage that you find it difficult to hear yourself say”, he sums up in the preamble.
Roded at the La Scala Theater, in Paris, under the fact of falsely modest code, these are only jokes, this third inspired show is promised to a bright future. Love me if you can (final title) will be played this fall at the Dôme de Paris and this winter at the Parisian Renaissance theater. In this new stand-up, the artist, born in France of Cap-Verdian parents, director of the Panayotis Pascot revelation and creator of the Comedy Club Madame Sarfati, refine his trademark.

Obviously you are not enough for me. You’re Eve?” He calls with malice.
Besides, loyalty “anxiety”. “I have always been unfaithful,” admits the stand-up. Backly handling bad faith, he says he has a good reason to be like this: “Never anyone has taught us to be two, in life.” Above all, men are “conditioned” from an early age: “a Cowboy day, the next day Power Ranger, the next day Pirate, a child we had a lot of adventures, and now we would have to live a single story? “Unlike girls, they were not rocked by the promises of the tales -” They lived long and had many children “.
