The Palmashow, a duo of comedy came from the Net and passed by the tv, is a measure of the spirit of Bourvil and de Funès on the big screen.
Qhen they arrive in front of us, David Marsais, looped through to the next to within 32 years, and Gregoire Ludig, colossus, bearded 34-year-old, did not look very comfortable. “We are well dressed because they have to go to the General Journal. But it does not feel good in a suit and tie. We really prefer to dress up, ” says the first.
And for good reason : the Palmashow, the name of the duo of comedians that form the two men, has specialized in the art of the parody. Cult movies, tv shows, music videos… through videos posted on the Internet, and then broadcast on television, the two childhood friends have put thousands of costumes for caricaturing the characters of “Star Wars,” the judges of “MasterChef “, and even the singer Maître Gims.
small rooms, and videos on the net
” Our humor is located between the satire of the Void and the absurd of the Unknown. We are also fascinated by the old comedies such as la Grande Vadrouille, ” says David Marsais. So fascinated, that the duo wanted to produce his own adventure comedy, ” the Crazy Story of Max and Leo “, in theaters now (see box below). A culmination to the two friends.

David Marsais et Grégoire Ludig meet there nearly twenty years in Montfort-l’amaury in the Yvelines department. Very quickly, they discovered one common passion : comics. “It is coming out of a performance of Franck Dubosc that we said that, we also, we wanted to write skits. It gave us an occupation on Wednesday afternoon and on the weekends, ” remembers Gregory. The two friends meet regularly in a coffee shop to write. But they do not want to let their works on paper. They borrow a camera from the father of David and turn their first videos in them and in the forest next to the village.
” there are several skits that were never shown, thankfully. The first was a parody of a horror film with a trash bag which speaks. The second was a pastiche of the Fire of love, ” remembers Gregory. In parallel, from 2003 to 2006, the duo will produced in small halls of 200 people. The duo sends his sketches to tv channels in the hope of getting noticed. Without success. “We had sent a DVD to the production box was in the care of A guy, a girl at the time. We returned our package with a big annotation : NO !!” says David.
The Palmashow does not, however, break down. He needs a stage director to give a dimension more professional in her videos. This will be the young director Jonathan Barré, a man of the shadows who will never leave the two comics, since it carries today ” Max and Leo “. At the same time, Gregory and David have a good idea to post their short films on the Internet. “To our surprise, the very first video that it was sent in September 2007, a parody of Star Wars where the hero becomes a gay icon, has made 400 000 views in a weekend !” marvelled again Gregory.
