Humour #5
Antonia de Rendinger
Oh my god I love this act from Antonia de Rendinger! I have watched it many times — it’s in French again, maybe a trigger for you to learn the language? :). What I am amazed about Antonia is her ability to be any character, from the rich lady, to the strict teacher, to the old neighbour, the little girl, or here the woman from the South of France who goes for a hair removal appointment. Every time, she is extremely authentic and precise in building the character: she definitely is more than a comedian, she is a proper actress too. And this helps a lot to believe in her stories, to project our mind to everything she says, as if we were there too, with that character on stage.
The other thing I find amazing about Antonia is her cultural knowledge and intelligence. This woman is bright, she studied many things and for many years, she speaks several languages and all of that feeds into her acts without making us feel stupid. So we learn while laughing, or better, we laugh while learning. Very impressive indeed.
Antonia is also an improvisation rockstar so that I have been following her since her “discovery” on TV and I advise you to do so too!
Enjoy! And stay tuned for future videos, coming every week!

For the last two years, I have been watching stand up comedy on youtube almost everyday. I have laughed, learned and laughed again thanks to a very diverse bunch of comedians. This year, I have decided to share my top favourite acts so that even more people laugh and learn!
