Vincent is overjoyed to be having a child for the first time. As the duate date approaches, he and his partner Anna have chosen a name. Invited to dinner at the home of his sister Elsabeth and brother-in-law Pierre, he runs into Claude, a childhood friend.

Vincent has a habit of telling jokes in questionable taste. One of them will lead to some brutal and very unexpected revelations. In short, a family affair.

The show is all in French, with no subtitles.


IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Doors open at 6:30PM and close at 7:15 (no entry will be permitted after 7:15 PM). Plan your transportation and parking accordingly.

A reception (cash bar) will follow the show, after which all spectators are invited to join the after-party at the French wine bar Vin sur Vingt, 1529 14th street NW (happy hour prices all evening).

Please note that the name on the ticket must match the name on the ID for each guest ; no more than one ticket under the same name.
