The end of the world is approaching. Embodying Patrice Laforêt, a failed comedian whose ambitious project is to catalogue every form of earthly humour to send into space, the valiant expert leads the crusade of laughter, convinced that in this human inclination lies inter-galactic salvation. With his gangling dandy appearance, his vintage hair style, an unparalleled physicality, François Herpeux leaves a mark on every spectator who encounters his talent. A virtuoso at composing eccentric geniuses, naturally hilarious, he imprints his style and silhouette, but especially his sense of rupture and burlesquely refined sensibility, on each of his appearances.
