From medicine to stand-up, the incredible journey of Florence Trébuchon, the Montpellier allergist turned comedian

D’un sourire, Florence Trébuchon vous embarque avec son humour et son énergie débordante Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

Dans la vie tout est possible. Et elle le prouve avec son spectacle "Existe", l’aboutissement d’une reconversion improbable.

She dares, she asserts herself in her own way. Florence Trébuchon exudes vitality and, above all, freedom. This professional allergist has decided to radically change her life. And since she doesn't do anything by halves, she threw herself wholeheartedly into a project that may seem completely crazy: becoming a full-time comedian.

A vocation since childhood

However, her vocation for the stage didn't come to her when she woke up one morning. “When I was little, I was passionate about theater, I devoured the plays of Molière, Marivaux… I wanted to be an actress.”

And to top it all off, at the age of 12, during a holiday in Lozère, she wrote a play for her cousins ​​and friends in the village. The small troupe that she directed with a master hand performed in front of no fewer than 120 people. Building on this success, the experience of this mini-festival was repeated with the creation of a play every summer, and this for a few years.

Studies in medicine and a life as a mother

She even wanted to fail her Baccalaureate to live on theatre and fresh water. “I did everything not to have it, but…” She pursued medicine to ensure financial independence and ended up giving up the stage. She became a mother, a doctor and settled in Montpellier. Life went on until she allowed herself to reconnect with this youthful passion.

"I started by writing a play, I performed it and it did quite well", she recalls with a mischievous glint in her eyes. It will take her a year at the Cours Florent "a sort of nod to the 20-year-old girl that I was" and clown training to refine what she really wants: to quit medicine for stand-up.

But she still had to face reality. She goes up on the open stage of the Montpellier Red Line. "I get a date on my birthday, it had to be done", she confides amused. People laugh. It was more than two years ago.

Since then, she has performed here and there and tried her hand at different stages. Short video sketches on Instagram, spotted by Pierre-Emmanuel Barré, here she is.

Until the big stage this Tuesday, her stand-up show performed for the very first time.

Artists selected by Aymeric Lompret and Pierre-Emmanuel Barré

Florence Trébuchon has proven herself because she is one of the 8 young artists from the region selected by Aymeric Lompret and Pierre-Emmanuel Barré as part of the Lol & Lalala Comedy Club.

She is thus accompanied and monitored during internships and residencies to work on texts, acting, staging to achieve her artistic project. “It's great.”

Natural scathing humor

A long-time activist, she understood that humor allowed messages to be conveyed more easily than when debating. “Humor is a fabulous vector, it's unifying to laugh and make fun together.”

So she mixes her vision of life with a scathing humor but with gentleness, finesse, intelligence and kindness. She manages to approach without vulgarity a lot of subjects of sexuality by going through Tinder and Bolloré, Bardella, Depardieu, the place of women, religion… all the themes are covered "except health, that's not funny".

And with disconcerting ease, even to resist, she proves that it doesn't take much to simply exist.
