Among the other guests, comedian Tristan Lopin who came to talk about his second show called “Impeccable”. The opportunity for the 36-year-old man to confide in a tragedy, the rape he suffered at the age of 13. A painful and traumatic episode that he addresses on stage in his show. “I was in a phase where I wanted to write something other than what I had been able to do previously. I started writing about the subject of rape, but not in a comedic tone. At the time, it was therapeutic ” he declared last June to the site Actus.fr.

“You manage to make us laugh about the rape you suffered, because at the age of 13, you were raped by a man who was 35, and you manage to make something funny out of it, and it pains me to say it, but it’s funnywe laugh” analyzed Léa Salamé. Tristan Lopin then responded that this was exactly the goal of his new show, to be able to make his audience laugh on serious subjects.
“During confinement, I had time to brew and this rape came to the surface even though I had the feeling that I had moved on. So I started writing down this story- there. […] I thought it was also interesting to show the people around you who are very sunny, are people to whom things have happened. We shouldn’t stop at the image that people project.” Finally, Tristan Lopin admitted that with the €5,000 that his attacker was forced to pay him in compensation, he bought himself a luxury Dyson brand vacuum cleaner.
