Humor: Nathalie Boileau, a crazy day at the Comédie de Toulouse
In her show “Nathalie Boileau gives everything … except the recipe” offered this Friday, March 18 at the Comédie de Toulouse, the comedian actress recounts the crazy and hilarious day of a woman today…
Even if she plays in many series and TV movies (“Mongeville”, “Camping Paradis”, “The Villemin Affair”, “Research Section”… among others), the actress Nathalie Boileau is nonetheless very attached to her first profession, the theatre. “Above all, I love the freedom the stage gives me. Continuing to do one-woman shows, inventing stories and characters, making people laugh but also, why not, making them think, that makes me very happy,” says this former student of Daniel Mesguich at the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris, also holder of a DEA in psychology and passionate about dance.
And it is quite naturally with her friends the Chevaliers du Fiel, at the Comédie de Toulouse, that the bubbly young woman comes to play her new show this Friday, March 18, “Nathalie Boileau gives everything… except the recipe! “. “I am playing for the first time in Toulouse, a city that has always made me dream because it reminds me of Claude Nougaro. I couldn’t see myself playing anywhere other than with the Chevaliers du Fiel who had programmed me for the Avignon festival with “La lionne de Belfort”, my first solo show which I gave more than 800 times, but never in Toulouse! “.
Corrosive irony
The hallmark of Nathalie Boileau is, she says, “a sense of derision, a critical spirit, a corrosive irony, humor without vulgarity. I don’t really care about myself. In this show, it is a lot about the relationship between men and women. My main character is a mother of today, caught up in the whirlwind of days and of life, who passes by at full speed, between her profession or professions, her child, her partner, her bipolar girlfriend, the house and a whole host of things that we impose on ourselves more or less and that put pressure: eat good and organic food, be a good friend, a good mother, a good mistress, stay young, sexy, nice, funny, fit, be independent and proud of being. In short, a modern woman, overwhelmed, with a TGV life that somewhat dominant males find normal. But beware, I have nothing against men. Besides, I have fun with them, I play with the public, I make them laugh with the comical adventures of my characters. I like people. Life is only worth it if it is shared” declares this fighter ready to conquer the Toulouse public.
