Top French comedian and President, Nicholas Sarkastik’s first UK tour continues to win over audiences wherever he appears. So far the charismatic smooth-talker’s act has brought down the house three times – the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the House of Windsor.
“Without your Parliament,” the flannel-wearing stand-up said to a howling audience of peers and MPs, “Parliamentary democracy would never have existed in this shape anywhere in the world. And, indeed, it doesn’t exist in this shape anywhere else in the world. When your politicians wrote constitutions for half of Europe after the war, they gave us proportional representation - in fact they gave us so much, there wasn’t any left over for you!”
He went on to add that his country would never forget what Britain did to France in two world wars, saying that petty arguments were a French national pastime too, and the French Navy probably had too many ships anyway.
“It’s the way I tell ‘em,” he added.
Later, at a packed Windsor Palace gig, Mr Sarkastik told the Queen that “France and Britain have never been so close, if you know what I mean – whoops, keep your hands to yourself, Missus!”
