“She’s my girl, actually.”it is with these words that, on Saturday February 10, Alexandre Kominek, guest of Léa Salamé in What era on France 2, spoke of his love story with Florence Foresti. From a first appearance together, in May 2022in the stands of Roland-Garros, the two comedians had, on rare occasions, appeared side by side, as at the hundredth of Vincent Dedienne's show at the Marigny theater in June 2022, but he had not, until at this speech, that very rarely mentioned this connection between them. It's done, even if since then, the two lovebirds have not appeared as a couple more than before. The fact remains that since this officialization, eyes have turned towards this young man who will celebrate his 35th birthday at the end of the month when Florence blows out her 51st candle on November 8. An age difference which seems to pose no problem for these two characters, accustomed, in their profession, to being out of step…
From this point of view, Monsieur has nothing to envy of Madame. To Foresti's grating and corrosive humor responds the verb sharp, excessive, and often very ribald of his companion. A man from Switzerland that those who don't listen to France Inter, where he has a mood post in the show The original soundtrackpresented by Nagui and Leila Kaddourmay be unfamiliar. Listeners to the public station know that the comedian's words can just as easily trigger big laughs as big ones. “Ooooh” indignant, as it sometimes pushes far below the belt, and although it calls itself romantic, the register of its projections. He also makes it the selling point of his show Sensitive bastardwhose poster shows him in a leopard-print bathrobe, leaning on a golden racing car. Below the image, this slogan: “Come laugh and be ashamed”.
But who is this new rising figure of the one-man show to whom our colleagues from Parisian awarded the title last March d’“craziest comedian of the moment” ? If we know him so little, it's because he cut his teeth in his country of origin. In March 2023, the Swiss newspaper The illustrated met him and published a long article allowing us to better understand the man.
Florence Foresti's darling claims to have never been sidelined for his appearance…
“My mother rolls the r’s, my father rolls the galoshes”he explained to them about his parents: a Sephardic Jewish father from Tunisiadescribed by our colleagues as “a handsome, flamboyant, pleasure-loving guy”et a mother of Polish and Catholic origin. “Seeing them today, I wonder how they could have met”s'interroge Fireplace.
“My best friends were Turkish, Albanian, African or Portuguese immigrants. You add a Jew in the middle, but we talked to each other all day long. I was never pushed aside for my appearance or victimized. I had a good distributed, I was a soccer goalkeeper, agile and athletic. A big cat, what.”
Fat ? The word is dropped and this is not insignificant, it is part of the comedian's vocabulary and comes up very often in his jokes. Like this September 20, 2024 when he begins his France Inter column with these words: “It's been 20 days now, friends, since I started a diet and haven't touched a drop of alcohol. Except that I'm caressing bottles while crying. No, but it's true Nagui, this summer I abused, you lick my cheeks, you're drunk Nagui. Physically, I gained 10 kilos. I can't even make fun of the big guys anymore and that's still 30% fewer jokes. I know I gained weight because, how can I tell you, when you make the sign of the cross before trying on a size L t-shirt… Afterwards, there are advantages, the bulges, at the beach, it It's practical. When you're seated you can store your credit card, your phone…”
Alexandre Kominek: “In one summer I exploded“
In the studios, upon hearing these words, the columnists laugh out loud, perhaps wondering about the veracity of this anecdote that the comedian, who took a peaceful vacation this summer with Florence Foresti, transforms into a joke . This is his great specialty: laughing at him. “I am very self-centered, I avoid current affairs”he confided to The illustrated. If this artist who has no taboos today boasts of laughing at everything, including overweight people, it is the fruit of his personal history. He thus gave the explanation, last October 20, on the set ofA Sunday in the countrysidethe show hosted by Frédéric Lopez. “It's funnyhe begins, because in primary school, I was one of the prettiest in school and I don't know what happened, but in one summer I exploded. I came back and even my friends didn't recognize me anymore.” At the moment when he pronounces these words in front of Frédéric Lopez, the host of the show, the production broadcasts this photograph of Kominek, young, on a beach.
Florence Foresti is afraid that Alexandre will leave her
The comedian then continues: “There, I have a total shift because of the most beautiful, I am the biggest. In addition, we are arriving right at a time when the kids are the hardest. And that’s where I started making jokes.” He won't stop. As for his extra pounds, even if according to him he gained some back this summer, they seem to have gone away, notably thanks to the diligent practice of boxing, which gives him this athletic build. A man to whom Toni's mother seems very attached, she who has only one fear: that he will leave her!
For now, however, the love between them seems mutual. Florence Foresti's darling dressed a laudatory portrait of her in The illustrated by evoking “the most inspiring woman I have known”: “You just have to look at her journey. She's still upset a lot of guys. When she gives advice, you really listen. She has an outlook, an experience…”can today boast of the one who has become a great laughter man. He has also just announced that he will be on January 7, 8 and 9, 2026 at the Olympia. A show for which he will undoubtedly once again apply the method that made him successful. “I have no limitsbut I still have a frame. Forbidding me to make fun of someone just because they belong to a minority would be the least inclusive thing. If I can't spoof this or that, it's because I don't consider them the same as me. Inclusivity is including everyone else in my world.”
Kominek, the only comedian who can laugh at anything… with anyone?
