“What to do with idiots?”: Point Virgule asks a big question

On the stage of Point Virgule, every Tuesday, Sandra Colombo – who officiates in the “Bande originale”, Nagui’s daily show on France Inter – asks an existential question: “What to do with idiots?”

The title of her show seems dizzying, given the increasing prevalence of this sociotype in our time. As a result, the stand-up comedian has a field day tackling topics like feminism, equality, private life, and relationships. The comedian shares her personal experiences and flaws, exposes her vulnerability and her whimsy, and ultimately connects with the audience, who want more. We laugh, we reflect, and we come out feeling less... stupid.

After having cut her teeth in the comedy duo Les Kicékafessa, Sandra Colombo, discovered by Laurent Ruquier, launched into "one woman shows" where she expresses her biting humor and her amused view of the world with solo shows, "Instagrammable et cervelées" or "Que faire des cons?". The artist says she is committed but she is resolutely funny: "I make a France Inter brain coexist in a Rires et Chansons body and, believe me, it is not easy every day," she says.

At Point-Virgule, she showcases her boundless creativity in a space where intimacy and proximity to the audience make her message resonate even more strongly. We are always someone else's idiot, reminds the artist, combining humor and depth by immersing us in the absurdity of everyday life.

And the question posed raises others: How to spot idiots? How to live with them? How to make sure you're not one yourself? Incidentally, "What to Do with Idiots?" takes a swipe at self-help books, gurus, and life coaches of all kinds. Like the inspector of the same name, Sandra Colombo leads the investigation, not criminal but sociological. According to the latest news, it's far from over, as the enigma is so difficult to solve.
