The end of the world is approaching. Molded into the skin of Patrice Laforêt, a failed comedian whose ambitious project is to catalog every form of earthly humor to send into space, the valiant expert leads the crusade of laughter, convinced that in this human tendency lies intergalactic salvation. With his lanky dandy bearing, his vintage hairstyle, an unparalleled physicality, François Herpeux marks every spectator who encounters his talent. A virtuoso in creating eccentric geniuses, naturally hilarious, he stamps his style and silhouette, but above all his sense of rupture and burlesquing finesse on each of his appearances.
