| . For me, Gad Elmaleh is the best of the current French stand-ups. His humour is funny, intelligent and creative. It's also international - born Franco-Moroccan, he spent some time in Canada, and works in the States. M6 screened his spectacle L'autre c'est moi | From a charity show, here is an unusual sketch from Pierre Palmade, one of France's most inventive comedians. | Here is a bubbly little blonde, Christelle Chollet, who specialises in the imitation of Edith Piaf - and even in the style of Claude François ! She made me laugh a lot. | Michel Bougenah is a very talented comedian, who gets very excited on stage. His voice is fairly clear, but the delivery is rapid. Gives the ear a good work-out. |

| Here are two little pieces from Bourvil. His Causerie antialcoolique and a song C'est le piston. A very sweet man, Bourvil. | The occasional series Les stars du rire often finishes by introducing a young comic. Here is Ben, who has a rapid, but very clear delivery - ideal as a listening exercise. Oh, and he's also very funny. | A year ago, in 2010, France Télévision screened Le grand restaurant of Pierre Palmade, and you will have seen the clips above.
