60 comedians, 60 seconds each, one chaotic masterpiece of French wit — can your attention span survive?
Hosted by Kyan Khojandi, in sixty minutes, sixty artists follow one another on stage.

The witticisms fuse, forming a veritable fireworks display of witticisms and funny situations, to the delight of viewers, but also of guest comedians.
