- This is a work of over 80,000 words which took six years to write and research. It draws on audiovisual materials, interviews with performers and press articles, which necessitated significant research in both France and the UK. The book assesses the evolution of stand-up comedy in France since the turn of the millennium and in particular since the Charlie Hebdo attacks of 2015. It engages with Francophone and Anglophone scholarship about humour, freedom of expression and national identity. Furthermore, it makes an original and much needed contribution to the understanding of debates about non-Anglophone humour in an international context.
