In 2005, Stéphane offered himself to our photographer’s game. The job no longer holds any secrets for him, who started out in cabaret at the age of 13 alongside comedian Roméo Pérusse. That year he embarked on the Rousseau One Man Show tour of France and Belgium, a show that was to be a huge hit.

Uh yes! He did. With his friend, French humorist Franck Dubosc, Stéphane and his pal appeared in Adam’s costume for a comic number during the Just for Laughs gala they hosted in 2003. It must be said that with such bodies there was nothing to be ashamed of.

On stage, the comedian played a range of characters including his famous Rico Chico (pictured), Madame Jigger and Scott Towel.
