“I told myself that songs are the perfect antidote to death. People, memories, sketches—everything disappears one day, but songs do not. Songs stay in your head.” — Vincent Dedienne

After touring the world with his one-man show, Un soir de gala, acclaimed French comedian Vincent Dedienne did not want to leave behind the eclectic cast of characters he had built. He reached out to over a dozen songwriter friends, including Vincent Delerm, Alex Beaupain, Jeanne Cherhal, Ben Mazué, and Florent Marchet, asking them to each write a song based on a character or story from the show. Dedienne performs those songs live, bringing new depth to the stories that have charmed audiences around the world.
