With the song Funny, Fanny Herrero opens her comedy club on Netflix

Netflix – On Demand – Series

From Instagram to Parisian cellars, passing by France Inter, it seems that an entire generation has found in the art of humor a form of catharsis, or at least an outlet for contemporary anxiety. How many, in fact, every evening, go up on stage while one lies on the sofa, recounting sorrows, insults, frustrations, and tantrums, hoping to win the support of the audience, even their attention as a producer?
