Anne Roumanoff has recently stood out in her new show. This is her fourteenth one-woman show in which the 58-year-old artist playfully depicts our daily lives. The comedian wears in this new show called Life Experience a wry look at the major transformations of our society: language, behavior, new professions. The actress left her traditional red outfits for a black pantsuit and white shirt.
This Thursday, January 25, Anne Roumanoff was invited to C à vous to talk about this new show. The one who studied at Sciences-Po before drifting towards the Cours Florent confided in Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine about the feminist cause which she now supports more than was the case in the past. “I feel more feminist now than I did 20 years ago. I am very much, I find that mentalities are changing… To change I find that it is really hard, it takes a long time!“, she admitted.
The host of the France 5 magazine then praised Anne Roumanoff’s capacity for self-deprecation. “You go with yourself”, Babeth emphasized. “Of course, but when you make fun of others it’s important to start by making fun of yourself. It’s the first politeness“, retorted the evening’s guest. And Babeth revealed one of the jokes of the show that she loves: “People tell me that I look less fat than on TV but more than on my poster“And to add, surprise: “Do people tell you that?”. Anne Roumanoff then acquiesced, playing the way people throw this sentence at her.
Columnist Patrick Cohen then took a little dig at the comedian who probably wasn’t expecting that: “You shouldn’t tamper with the poster, that’s why“. “No, I didn’t do it. No! I lost a lot of weight with the poster, then I gained weight and got slimmer again to look like the poster”, the guest immediately explained. “It was a bad joke,” the columnist then apologized in a teasing mood.
