Anthony Joubert - Le Diner de Cons

In Menton's Casino Barrière, Anthony Joubert brings a fresh interpretation to the classic French comedy Le Diner de Cons. While honoring the original play’s spirit and text, Joubert introduces his own portrayal of François Pignon, presenting him as a more innocent and endearing character. The story revolves around Pierre Brochant, who hosts a weekly dinner where guests bring an unwitting 'fool' to compete for the title of the biggest fool of the night. This time, Pierre believes he has found the perfect candidate in François Pignon, a finance ministry accountant with a quirky hobby of collecting matchstick models. However, Pignon’s good intentions and knack for causing mishaps lead to unforeseen consequences, setting the stage for a comedic clash between two very different worlds.
