COMEDY CLASS BY ÉRIC AND RAMZY
There's someone who did a great job today.
It'd be weird to send him home.
It'd be very weird. He was perfect today.
Roast after roast.
We loved what he did. We want to save him.
-Victor! -Victor.
I don't think I'm a fifth wheel. I belong here.
I'm thrilled to be here.
A true competitor goes all the way.
I'm leaving my friends behind, Dudley, Tristan, and Étienne.
It's really sad to see them leave.
Mr. Étienne.
Mr. Dudley, Mr. Tristan, thank you very much.
There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Our finalists.
We'll see you later tonight.
We're inviting you out to dinner.
Free food.
All seven of us. It'll be fun.
-Congratulations, everyone. -The finalists!
We're in the finale. It's a huge deal.
You were great.
I'm thrilled. I deserve this. I'm the only woman.
I went in like a lioness. Now, I'm terrified.
Terrified of the finale.
Another kamikaze mission.
The four Comedy Class challenges are over.
After nine episodes and 999 minutes of laughter,
we now have our five finalists.
They'll have to perform a final set
that could win them €50,000. Just one set.
-Éric, the joke is worth €50,000. -Crazy.
Out of both seasons, this was the funniest night.
Totally.
-There were some killer jokes. -The level was insane.
-Antony set the tone. -For sure.
-He nailed it. Perfect timing, everything. -Right.
I thought I was fine.
-Honestly. -Yeah, I'm fine.
Camille was so cruel.
Violent, but hilarious.
The whole room was screaming.
The best compliment.
You went all out.
So did Antek.
I didn't think we were that good today at all.
I can't say that Victor's not funny anymore.
You went on an emotional journey.
I did my best when it mattered most.
Enzo, we weren't sure about you.
I knew it was a risk because either you love it
and you have a good time, or it's like, "What are you doing?"
We now know who all five of you are.
You come on stage, we know your style and your rhythm.
The next sketch is worth 50 grand.
You can't mess up. It could change your life.
So, for the finale,
we're looking for a Headline Act, and we want you to make a poster
showing how you see yourself in the future.
It's the finale, it's time for them to surprise us.
After everything they've done so far, they need to go for it in the finale.
Give us a Headline Act that dazzles.
It's a €50,000 set.
It's crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen, out of 12 acts, only five have survived.
They've made it through all the challenges to the finale.
You're giving me chills.
In the end, only one will remain.
They will take home glory
and pockets full of money.
€50,000, that's 500 billion old francs.
Ah, the '30s.
So, let's go to the grand finale of Comedy Class for everyone.
-As they say from where I'm from. -The West Indies.
This is it. The finale. I slept well.
Everyone's like, "I'm tired, I don't have any ideas,"
but they're a pack of hyenas. I know what they're up to.
I've seen them. Don't worry. It's gonna be a great finale.
-Hey! -Yeah!
Where's Camille?
A surprise twist this morning. We were told Camille was pulling out.
Of politics.
She's quitting French politics.
And Comedy Class.
We respect her decision, but it was a surprise.
She could have won, given how good she was in The Roast.
It's a real finale. There are four left.
Good luck, guys. See you.
Break a leg!
-Let's go. -Last one, Ramzy.
Yeah.
Good evening, everyone!
Comedy Class season two, this is the final.
There were 12 contestants.
Only four remain. The winner gets €50,000.
Guys, we're a team, but the €50,000 is for one person.
Can we share it?
€50,000?
I'll go with Ramzy to the south of France on a yacht.
It'll be great.
The finalists!
Wow!
All right, guys. This act could win you €50,000.
You'll each perform a set you wrote
-for this audience, for us. -It's suicidal…
It's suicidal.
We also have a very special guest.
I have to say, honestly,
it's a real honor.
We've never had anyone like this.
Valérie Lemercier, everyone.
What an entrance!
Valérie Lemercier, everyone!
Do we really need to introduce Valérie Lemercier?
Turn on your TV, and boom! She's there.
Do we really need to introduce Valérie Lemercier?
I was wondering if Valérie Lemercier knows us?
-Do you know us? -Yeah.
I know them and I'm a fan.
I'm very happy to be here. Is that them?
-It is. -Okay, I choose…
No, we have to wait for the act.
There's the €50,000 act.
Come and sit down.
I never thought I'd sit on butter.
-You mean the chair? -I don't like butter.
I feel like I'm on a pat of butter.
It's just a leather chair.
-Did you see season one? -Of course.
This is even better.
We have Enzo, Antony, Antek, and Victor.
-We'll let them go backstage. -Go get ready.
THE FINALE
I hope I'll laugh.
You will with us.
I was told, "If things get chaotic, you know these guys, they're…"
"You're crazy, but they're crazier." I'm supposed to keep you in check.
-Are we talking about Comedy Class? -Yeah.
My dear Valérie, it's time for the first act.
Victor Vauchez.
I have a winner's mindset for the finale.
If I do my best, the outcome is sure to be positive.
Come on, Victor! This is your moment.
You're a star and you know it, man.
He's coming in confident.
I love it.
Well, well, well.
I think my journey speaks for itself.
I'm clearly the star of the show.
I've imagined what it would be like if I won Comedy Class.
I've already prepared my tour.
All right, no one will be forgotten, I'll be playing in a venue near you.
No matter where you are, all the big cities in France.
Department 44, Nantes, Lille, 59, Strasbourg, 67.
No one will be forgotten, I'll even come to Poitiers.
If I win €50,000, I'll give half of it to Poitiers.
I'll keep €25,000 and give €25,000 to Poitiers City Hall.
They need it for a new roundabout.
Rounda-Pointe-à-Pitre. Yeah, that's my joke for the finale.
€50,000, okay? Let's show some love to overseas France.
Thank you, everyone.
That was the tour if I win.
Now, the tour if I don't win.
I'll tour places that are a little harder to get to.
I'll take the regional train.
To go to Villeneuve d'Ascq, you need to change stations in Lille.
Don't forget Cherbourg, right at the top.
I should say, I added Niort but I'm not playing there.
I just have a two-day connection to get to Châteauroux.
Maybe I can meet up with some fans too. Why not?
Châteauroux is the furthest south I'll go.
Any further, and the food just sits heavy.
If the towns are lame, the least I can do is not be bloated.
That's important. Next.
This is the tour if I don't get any new subscribers.
My Paris Inner Suburbs tour.
The advantage is that I can hop on the subway.
I'm showing up at every stop. Kremlin-Bicêtre, Ivry-sur-Seine.
Get ready. That being said,
I had to cancel the Massy show due to metro works.
Don't be mad.
To everyone in Massy, I'll be there in two years. Stay in touch.
Then, I'm going on a tour of all the cities with "Tour" in their name.
There's Tourneville, next to stage tour, department 71.
Shoutout to Saône-et-Loire.
Tournefort in 06, Tournefeuille, Tournecoupe, La Tourne.
Don't forget Tournai in the north. I've been there before.
I wouldn't re-Tournai.
To finish, I'll take my jacket off.
Stay focused. This is like the release of Bad Buzz.
This is the tour if no one is interested in me at all.
It goes to Hazebrouck, Villeneuve-sur-Lot,
Sablé-sur-Sarthe has a TGV station, it's a big city, but the name's funny.
There's Ferney-Voltaire and Saint-Marcellin.
Who knew? St. Marcelin isn't just a cheese.
That was my biggest chance of becoming a headline act.
Thank you, Comedy Class!
-Thank you. -Victor.
From set to set,
you keep getting better.
It's crazy. You're so comfortable now.
In your early performances, you weren't very comfortable.
Now, the room is yours.
The rhythm is there. You were awesome.
-You've become so good. -Thanks.
-Well done. -Thank you so much.
I'm impressed.
I didn't see your evolution, but I've heard of you.
I didn't see the amazing transformation from when you started.
It was very original.
It made me laugh a lot. You were so self-deprecating.
-I laughed a lot. -Thank you.
-Well done. -Thanks.
It was so effective.
I was thinking, "Victor is so smart."
You gave us something new again.
It's so new.
You made me laugh so much.
-Well done! -Thank you so much.
-Well done! -Thank you.
It felt exactly the way I wanted it to.
I had fun with the poster. It was great.
The audience had fun too.
I'm Victor, Victor the Winner.
That was nuts. Perfect for the theme.
In terms of the theme, that really hit the mark.
Do you guys think that act deserves €50,000?
Was it a €50,000 act?
Let's give him 75% of it.
-We'll keep €15,000. -Can we do that?
We can split it.
That's €5,000 each.
-That would be great. -Yeah.
Let's see how the pressure of the finale
affects Enzo Ricci.
The theme of the finale is Headline Act.
We need to use a poster as a base for our jokes.
It might seem simple, but this is the finale.
There's pressure, expectations.
We want to show the magic
that makes this the Comedy Class finale.
Let's go, Éric!
ENZO RICCI 27 YEARS OLD
Yes!
Let's go, Comedy Class!
Let me hear you!
I'm so happy to be here.
For me, when I started, being a headliner
meant being really famous.
It meant playing in huge venues.
It meant having the talent
to do things I'd always dreamed of.
Like telling a homeless guy,
"Sorry, I'm broke. I just paid the wealth tax."
Sorry.
I don't know if I'll ever be a big artist.
I don't have any childhood trauma.
You know what they say, "Big childhood trauma, big artist."
I have no trauma. My mom loves me, for fuck's sake.
She disgusts me.
When I go out, she's like, "Enzo, don't forget, I love you."
"Make a fucking effort."
Once, I met a girl and asked her,
"What does your dad do?" "I don't know him."
She's so lucky.
My dad always fucking came home.
I was looking for trauma.
When I was five, we were at the gas station.
I said, "Please, leave me here."
I wanted to go home with the guy in the van.
I saw an adult in a raincoat. "Do you have any candy, sir? Anything?"
I don't know if I can become a big artist,
but I feel so at home making people laugh,
that being a headline act, for me,
is making it to the finale of Comedy Class.
Now, I'm a headliner.
Thanks for listening.
We all know he's my favorite.
I love your timing, the vibe you give off.
I'm still under your spell.
I'm sorry. I love you so much.
Just like your mother.
Valérie?
I really liked your bit about not being traumatized.
Here, I can see it was true. I really liked it.
I was expecting a little bit more.
I mean, it's the finale.
You dream about it.
But you're still a fantastic artist.
Like Ramzy said, I think…
-Do you always wear the same outfit? -Exactly.
That's what I wanted to say.
Do you use hair cream? How do you maintain it?
No more questions, please.
We're interested in the winner.
I'm kidding. That's all.
-Bye, Enzo. -Thanks, Enzo.
Enzo Ricci!
I'm free! I gave it my all.
I need to believe in myself, but it's not up to me.
You seemed to really like his outfit.
Yeah, I thought, "I could dress like this."
It inspired me.
How does he make you feel? Is he a younger version of you?
-He's a young Valérie. -You think so?
A young Lemercier.
Stop that.
The way he speaks and moves.
-So classy! -Yeah.
That's right, Valérie. Classy.
-Ladies and gentlemen… -There are only two left.
Our penultimate act is Antony Giuliani.
Despite my lazy attitude, I managed to snag a place in the finale.
I earned my spot. Now I'm gonna beat them one last time.
You'll see.
ANTONY GIULIANI 30 YEARS OLD
Thank you. Sit down, guys.
Fuck, I'm in the finale. This is wild.
I'm in the finale. It's crazy when you think about it.
I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't love the theme.
I don't have a poster.
I need money, dude.
I swear.
I brought a family photo. They're the reason I do this.
I'd like you to meet them.
Yeah. Is there a problem?
I still live with my parents. I sleep on their couch. Crazy.
They're fed up with me.
My mom, at every meal, shows that she's fed up.
She's like, "Tony, you don't have to always eat with us."
"You can eat somewhere else."
To piss her off, I'm like, "No, you don't get it, actually."
"We're a family."
I'm driving them crazy. My dad wants me to move out.
I go to his bedroom when he's sleeping.
I creep towards him, like this.
I say, "I'm never leaving."
I'd like to leave, but there's one thing that'd piss me off.
My grandmother.
I spend most of my time with her.
I'm a comedian, she's retired.
We have the same free time.
To help you picture her, my grandmother
is a tiny Moroccan granny, you know,
with huge calves, dude.
Dude, her calves are crazy.
Top half, a queen. Bottom half, Zlatan.
I don't get it.
She always has a little shopping caddy.
It's like an extension of her arm. Wherever we go.
I take her shopping, she has her caddy.
We go to see my grandfather at the cemetery, caddy.
Rolling over all the other graves.
She's a queen. There's one thing she loves to do.
Give me money.
She does it like no one's allowed to know.
She's like, "Come here!"
We're the only ones in the house, you psycho.
It's just ten bucks. What am I gonna do with that?
Thank you, guys.
Antony Giuliani!
Good evening.
Like every week, the votes are extremely close.
We have the name of the winner in this envelope.
Éric and Ramzy, you do the honors.
Unbelievable. The winner is Antony Giuliani!
What a surprise!
Well done, Antony.
You ended the sketch in such a humble way, as usual.
You know I love you.
I'm really happy that's how it ended,
-it was perfect for you. -I loved it.
-I loved the end of the sketch too. -Thank you.
I loved the grandmother thing. I've seen that.
I thought it was tender and funny.
I have one small note.
You said the same word three times.
It's possible.
-"Crazy"? -"Crazy."
I'd have said it twice.
You've been one of the best so far.
It was less sharp than usual.
I'm sure they're your real family.
-For that alone, well done, Antony. -Thank you.
Antony Giuliani!
-A little disappointing. -Yeah.
He's disappointed us.
He's done some powerful stuff so far,
always laid back, but he hit hard.
He could have been darker, meaner.
-It was cute. -Not very Antony.
I didn't see the Antony who doesn't care.
What you just said,
can the people who just performed
-hear what you say? -Yes.
They're not hidden away. They're not in a box.
-No, they're next door. -They can see us.
They can hear us.
Some things can be said to their face, others behind their back.
-Yeah. -Will we say things behind their backs?
We'll go off in secret and let it all out, no holding back.
I can't wait to deliberate with Valérie.
-Because I'm sensitive. -You're experienced.
-I'm experienced. -And you're sensitive.
You see through people.
-Exactly. -You read their souls.
I heard you have Native American roots.
-A shaman. -I'm a jinx too.
Great.
How do you spell Antek?
A-N-T-E-K.
T-E-K, not T-E-A-K, like decking around the swimming pool.
For those of us with pools. No one else?
No, I don't have a pool.
-Rich people humor. -Yeah.
You just made a rich joke.
Come on, everyone has teak pool furniture!
Did you buy any teak this year?
No, none. Just tech.
-What's this? Water. -That was tech?
Pool water.
-It's Antek's. -From his pool.
Ladies and gentlemen, the final candidate.
€50,000 up for grabs.
Antek.
It's the last time we'll see the mentors.
I want to surprise them one last time.
No one knows what will happen in the finale.
I want to give it my best and hopefully win.
ANTEK 33 YEARS OLD
Good evening! Are we feeling good?
Guys, it's great to be back here
one last time for this farewell tour.
We decided to recreate a place close to my heart.
It's a perfect replica of the Comedy Class set.
It's been 40 years. Make some noise.
I can't believe it.
It's so cool.
I knew about this, but this?
It's amazing. I didn't think it'd be this accurate.
Éric and Ramzy clones, ladies and gentlemen, unbelievable.
The design reminds me how much the world has changed since 2025.
It might sound crazy, but in 2025, saxophones weren't cool.
People who played the saxophone didn't have much sex back then.
When I released my first album, Sax on the Beach,
everyone thought I was crazy back then.
When I released the second album, Sax and the City…
people started taking me seriously.
But as you know,
the album that started it all, the real game changer,
was, of course, Sax Machine.
Thank you.
You all know it. Thank you.
Clap if you were conceived to Sax Machine.
Yeah, I knew it.
There's always so many of you. It's cool.
At the time, in 2025, comedians went on stage without a saxophone.
I swear, I was one of them.
Guilty as charged.
We were just like, joke, laugh.
Joke, laugh.
That was it. We were so lame back then!
I swear.
You wouldn't see that today.
But I'm not here to talk about that today.
I'm here to do my final show.
I couldn't resist going to see my two mentors from back then,
just before I came on stage, the real Éric and Ramzy.
They're at the Cheeky Rascals retirement home.
They're the life of the party!
Now accents are back in fashion, they're the stars of tea time.
I can't believe it.
Now, back to what I do best, making you laugh
and showing you how I see the world through my little red glasses.
Antek! I see your world.
-Me too. -Me too.
Thanks everyone, thank you.
That was daring, Antek.
What do you think, Valérie?
I loved the saxophone. It really made me laugh.
Coming on stage with the sax.
You could tell it was gonna be chaotic.
Were you really playing?
-Yes, I was. -I thought it was fake.
I thought, "He's pretending to play really badly. I guess that's the joke."
Just like your wig, you can see it's not real hair.
When I saw you with this old makeup,
I thought, "Here we go. He's gonna let loose."
"This is going to be crazy."
In the end, it was just…
I thought you were gonna be more…
-It was pretty tame. -Yeah.
-I understand. -Thank you.
Thanks, Antek.
-Thanks for taking part. -Antek!
The end was missing something.
"I'm gonna take this final and do something amazing with it."
We've seen all four contestants.
They were all good,
but you could tell the nerves got to them. We're lost.
It's okay, Mom's here.
Mom's going to help us.
Let's go backstage and talk.
We're going to deliberate.
When we're back, we'll tell you who has won the Comedy Class finale.
Come with us, Valérie.
Thanks, see you soon.
-When you're not here… -It's better.
They're not impressed.
You can tell from my face.
Sometimes, if it wasn't funny, you were like…
-Not at all. -A little.
You do it a lot.
When it's not funny, he's like…
THE FINALE DELIBERATION
Éric, we need to decide.
Who's going to win the golden mic?
-And the €50,000. -50 grand.
Antek, Enzo, Victor, or Antony?
It's not easy.
We need to choose a winner.
-It's between you and me. -You think so?
It could be me.
It would be crazy.
If they take growth into account, it's me.
If it's from A to Z, it's you.
-Antek's had a great journey too. -For sure.
-Let's tell them. -Let's go.
-We're all in agreement. -What a crazy adventure.
It's been a crazy adventure.
THE FINALE THE VERDICT
Ladies and gentlemen!
One of these four men is the winner
of Comedy Class Season 2.
A true comedy legend will be handing out the prize.
This year…
Wait, we should keep them on edge a bit longer.
Come on, let's look at them.
Winning Comedy Class would be amazing.
I'm in the finale. I'm here to win.
I believe in myself.
Of course I want to win, I don't want all this work to be for nothing.
That would be tough.
I deserve it too.
I've fought for this.
So, Éric, how did we decide to vote?
We chose the person who dominated.
Who dominated Comedy Class 2?
You do the honors.
I think… Sorry.
Instead of me,
I think the audience should say it.
-In a way. -Yeah.
By taking something out of their pockets.
Get your glasses out because it's Antek!
Antek, here.
Antek is the winner!
Antek!
Antek, ladies and gentlemen.
-You deserve it, dude. -Thank you.
€50,000 for you!
Antek totally deserves this.
Every time, his material was absolutely perfect.
Well done, Antek.
He's funny, he's experienced, and didn't slip up once.
It's pretty impressive.
It makes sense.
All four of you have won.
Antek, anything you want to say?
I'm really moved, honestly.
I'm more comfortable performing than speaking.
I'm so happy. Thank you so much.
Well done, Antek.
-Well done! -That was Comedy Class 2.
-Thanks to Valérie. -Thanks, boys.
Get home safe, everyone. It's over. Thank you.
Thanks everyone. Goodbye.
I'm really proud of my journey on Comedy Class.
Comedy Class will change things, for sure. ass.
