(OFF) FESTIVAL D'AVIGNON: FABRICE ET FABRICE

FABRICE ET FABRICE
Le Capitole
Saturday July 15, 5pm

Every summer, in addition to Avignon's official Theater Festival, a great number of shows crop up, with budding actors and playwrights hoping this may be their big break; this year, almost 900 shows are performed, most of them daily.
Le Capitole brags some very successful shows, mostly in the unpretentious comedy strain. FABRICE ET FABRICE, a two-comedian act, may well be successful but it seemed to me the pinnacle of vulgar and unoriginal humor, complete with an anti-Semitic joke and picking on unattractive members of the audience.
Avoid at all costs.
