Le Dîner de Cons in Toulouse

This classic French comedy by Francis Veber follows Pierre Brochant, a Parisian publisher who attends a weekly "idiots' dinner" where guests bring someone they can ridicule. The story takes a turn when Brochant's guest, François Pignon, a Finance Ministry employee obsessed with building matchstick replicas, inadvertently wreaks havoc on Brochant's personal life.

Attendees can expect a sharp, witty play filled with misunderstandings and farcical situations. The narrative explores themes of pride, deception, and unexpected friendships, all delivered with Veber's trademark humor. The production in Toulouse brings this beloved story to life on stage.

This play has been adapted worldwide, including an English version titled "See You Next Tuesday" and an American film "Dinner for Schmucks." Its enduring popularity speaks to its universal appeal and clever writing.
