Chaos is what Frenchy does
MORE unfiltered and chaotic than ever, the menace from Wollongong – Frenchy – is coming this March with his latest stand-up show ‘Embrace the Chaos’ full of crazy stories where nothing is taboo.
Benjamin French aka Frenchy is back in Cairns and it’s all for the laughter, no nonsense, no statements, no politics, just unfiltered laughter as he brings all the insanity with ‘Embrace the Chaos’ to CPAC on March 15.
This new show will go in all sorts of directions, anything from Pokémon to dildos is game for the outspoken comedian.
“This is probably my sixth show in Cairns and it’s just a crazy audience, they just like jokes, they don’t care about any of the Sydney, city stuff, they want to laugh, they like beers, jokes and fishing,” he said.
“The thing that I found about my shows over the years is that chaotic things happen, whether I want it to or not. We had a farmer called ‘Socks’ who’s fought people in the crowd, we’ve had people pull their pants down and show their things and we’ve had a lot of jokes and songs get out of control.
“Instead of trying to fight against them, because some shows I’d be like, ‘I want to tell my jokes, stop doing crazy things’, but sometimes it’s better to embrace them and realise that this is live comedy, this is what’s happening tonight.
“I’ll talk about anything and everything, I do a lot of stuff about Pokemon, drinking, dildos, president Trump, hamsters, there’s so much I cover.”
Mr French, who was by trade a PE teacher, is also celebrating 10 years as a comedian and he said he was more eager than ever to continue down this path of political incorrectness.
“It’s exciting, every year I’m not teaching teenagers is a blessing,” he said.
“I like that I became a comedian later in life, I like that I had a full-time job, a career and got to live like a normal human because it made me more in touch with real life which makes my jokes more accurate and relatable.
“The big thing with this show is that all I care about is people laughing. Comedy went through a weird time where people were trying to make statements and all I want is for people to come to my show, have a few drinks and forget about all the troubles and have a laugh.
“With this show, it’s new every time and there’s always new jokes when I come up to Cairns.”
