Vivendi (Paris:VIV), the international media and content group,
and Gilbert Coullier Productions will bring together Eddie Izzard,
surreal British comedian and an honorary member of the Monty
Python’s, and Gad Elmaleh, the acclaimed stand-up comedian, actor
and director living in France, in an exceptional show in which each
artist will perform in the language of the other.
Eddie Izzard and Gad Elmaleh have decided to perform this show,
appropriately titled “Frenglish Night”, at iconic locations on both
sides of the Channel. The legendary Abbey Road Studios in
London will host them for a preview of their show on April 11,
2016, and then, the following day, the two artists will perform in
front of a full house at L’Olympia in Paris.
In London, the artists will begin and conclude the show by
taking the stage together, speaking in English; in Paris, they will
do the same thing in French. Each will also perform highlights from
their respective one-man shows.
Gad Elmaleh, a long-standing admirer of Eddie Izzard who
encouraged him to perform in English, sees this bilingual meeting
as a powerful symbol of Franco-British friendship. A crew from
Canal+, Vivendi’s French television channel, will follow Mr.
Elmaleh and capture his experience: starting with his trip to
London on the Eurostar, then on stage at Abbey Road Studios and
finally his performance at the L’Olympia where he will perform for
the first time his English show in front of a French audience.
Vivendi, a leader in music, television and cinema, widely
present in the UK and in France, has proudly lent the Abbey Road
Studios for this unique project.
