The Desperate Housemen are tying the knot! They are taking over the stage at Grand Point Virgule until March 28, 2026. This new show by Stéphane Murat and Alexis Macquart revives the ingredients that made the comedy trio a hit — sharp observations on romantic relationships combined with situational humor. Running for 1 hour and 15 minutes, the performance takes place in the Majuscule theatre, with reserved seating.
The starting point is simple: Thomas and Clémence are about to say "I do." But on the day of the wedding, the bride disappears without explanation. Surrounded by his friends Alexis and Stéphane, the groom-to-be tries to understand this sudden escape. The investigation quickly turns into a comedy of manners, where misunderstandings, revelations, and confidences follow one another at a steady pace. Between doubts, strategies to win her back, and fits of laughter, the play lightly questions male-female relationships and the pitfalls of life as a couple.
On stage, Stéphane Murat, Alexis Macquart, Régis Lionti, Valentin Giard, Polo Anid, and Alexandre Edouard embody a gallery of colorful characters, oscillating between caricature and sincerity. The lively dialogues and absurd situations recall the spirit of the early Desperate Housemen, while renewing the genre of ensemble comedy. The collective energy of the cast and the performers' complicit acting give this 2025 version a resolutely modern and unifying tone.
With this new show, the Desperate Housemen continue their witty exploration of human relationships, blending satire, warmth, and self-deprecating humor. It’s a lively comedy that's easy for everyone to enjoy, designed as a joyful celebration of laughter centered around couples and their contradictions. The performance is on at the Grand Point Virgule until March 28, 2026.
