Dany Parmentier in Gourou

Dany Parmentier is a character created in 2022 by a comedian and musician who spent fifteen years on stage with the zany troupe Airnadette under the pseudonym Philippe Risotto. Under this new name, he plays a self-proclaimed expert in personal development who promises to “develop” every spectator in the room personally.

In “Gourou,” Dany Parmentier unleashes his surprising methods to reveal, through absurd exercises and sharp punchlines, the hidden potential of his audience. The show plays on the codes of coaching and personal development to create an experience that is as hilarious as it is unexpected, halfway between stand-up and a parodic motivational talk.

The show first played at the Palais des Glaces in Paris before touring, including Nantes. Alongside his shows, Dany Parmentier also leads corporate seminars, where companies such as Microsoft, Enedis, Crédit Agricole and SUEZ call on him to energize their internal events by combining humor and personal development.

See him at the Comédie Le Mans on November 20, 2026, at 9 PM, to discover a show that hijacks the codes of personal development with remarkable flair.
