For years, Jean-Marie Gourio has carefully collected these pearls that have emerged from the throats of regulars at bistros. It is his accomplice Jean-Michel Ribes, a writer and director, who proposed adapting them for the theater in order to bring this popular genius to life through characters. This book includes a complete collection of these short scenes designed for the stage ("A Day", "A Year", "A Week"). It's an opportunity to rediscover the sharp and endearing humor of the bar owner and their customers, all gathered around a bar that never loses its charm.
