Canal + broadcasts Wednesday evening the recording of “A funny show”, the last one woman show by Marina Rollman. The latest, but also the last of her career as a comedian, as she explains on Tuesday at the microphone of Europe 1. For the Swiss, this broadcast “closes a cycle” of her professional life.
A funny show. This promise (and this reality) is the title of comedian Marina Rollman’s show broadcast by Canal+ on Wednesday evening. In this one woman show, the Swiss woman distils with talent her piquant reflections on our world, on important subjects such as global warming, gender equality, depression. But she also has fun with lighter subjects, such as burrata-eating sores or her detestation of bachelor parties for young girls (whose abbreviation she hates as EVJF) and bachelor parties, which according to her are at “the limit of mistreatment”.
Marina Rollman’s show was filmed during its very last performance, last December, after five years of performing it. The comedian now wants to devote himself to writing screenplays. “I regularly receive messages from people who have not been able to come see me on tour, and I find it great to be able to arrive on their television”, she rejoices at the microphone of Europe 1.
A constantly changing show
“It closes a cycle. It took me a long time to do this show and I’m very happy to have made this object, like a memory,” adds the comedian. “Now that I’ve moved on to another professional phase, I’m glad I put a nice ribbon around that time.” This broadcast is also an opportunity to discover a new version of the show, because Marina Rollman has changed it regularly.
“The changes in the show weren’t made in an extremely rational way, I didn’t tell myself that I was keeping the crème de la crème of my humor for the public. It was more a question of weariness: I am first and foremost an author and I like the rush of writing, of finding an idea and testing it without necessarily defending it 500,000 times”, she analyzes on our antenna. “As soon as I got tired of a part, that I defended it less well, I removed it to add new reflections. The filmed version is therefore the most recent of the show. It is a very nice version, but to say to oneself that it is its ultimate form fixed forever was something frightening”.
A funny show by Marina Rollman is to be discovered Wednesday evening at 9 p.m. on Canal+, or on the MyCanal replay platform.
