Les Desperate Housemen se marient !
Comedy at the Grand Point Virgule
The Desperate Housemen return to the Grand Point Virgule with a fresh comedy about marriage and couple life, running until December 27, 2025. This new show, Les Desperate Housemen se marient ! (The Desperate Housemen are getting married!), is a creation by Stéphane Murat and Alexis Macquart that revisits the formula that made the trio so popular before: sharp insights into romantic relationships combined with situational comedy.
Plot Summary
The story begins simply—Thomas and Clémence are about to wed. However, on their wedding day, the bride mysteriously disappears. The groom, surrounded by his friends Alexis and Stéphane, attempts to unravel the reasons behind her sudden absence. What follows is a comedy of manners filled with misunderstandings, confessions, and surprising revelations unfolding rapidly.
"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."
