Longer, funnier, more characters: Bertrand Usclat and Brout return to CANAL+

In 2018, Bertrand Usclat decided to parody Brut media with Brut, a series of roughly 1-minute videos in which he plays different characters, each one more absurd than the last.

Over the course of 3 seasons, i.e. 176 episodes, the comedian took current topics to parody them, often offering an unusual view of events. Initially offered on Youtube and social networks, and then on Canal+ in Clique from 2019, Broute quickly met with great success and today has more than 500 million views.

8 new episodes… longer

So it’s no surprise that two years after its termination, the series is back on Canal+ with Broute 24, a new format of 8 20-minute episodes that will air on the channel on April 29 at 10 p.m.

With the same writing and directing team of comedians Martin Darondo and Guillaume Cremonese, this new format will clearly take what made the original series so special.

For this occasion, Bertrand Usklat portrays 8 completely distinctive characters, each representing a theme of current society: a college principal on the brink of crisis, a lazy resident of an eco-village, a CRS demonstration, a coach slightly tempted. , an identity mayor forced to take in a refugee family in his village, a young father more or less on paternity leave, an old lobbyist out of date, and a member of a somewhat polyamorous group (very jealous.

“Same but longer– explained Bertrand Usclat in the press release. “24 hours to follow 8 characters, with new times, in fiction.

Where the Chronicle demanded a good formula, a good “punch”, the series’ timing imposes a rather cheerful reflection on the concept of a character, caught in a paradox, when his cardinal values ​​\u200b\u200bare confronted with reality. It’s a principle of comedy as old as time, but applied to topics that affect society today..”

Watch the first two episodes of Broute 24 on Monday 29 April from 22:00 on Canal+. The series is also available in its entirety on myCanal.
