On the occasion of his one-man show Sa m'sul tro! at the Lille Spotlight, we met Jojo Bernard, famous for his videos on Youtube. A meeting from which we do not come out unscathed!

Oily hair and plated cut, polo shirt buttoned to the top, eyes squinting behind glasses, it's Jojo Bernard! Famous since 2013 with his first video, Jojo's song (published on Youtube where nearly 671,000 people follow him regularly!) he has also been on stage at the Spotlight in Lille for a few months for his one-man show entitled Sa m'sul tro!
Jojo Bernard is first and foremost a character. A particular character. A macho guy, fan of football and video games. But he is also and above all a young man proud of his Ch'ti roots, who does not have his tongue in his pocket. He has been criticized for making fun of people with disabilities. It is not. Jojo Bernard is first and foremost an idiot, and as he says himself, "My character is not disabled, he is an idiot. And we have the right to make fun of. That says it all.
We met the comedian for an offbeat and scathing interview, and especially as it is!
