Anne Roumanoff was indeed in great shape and in a fighting mood, in particular by confiding in her temperament and her aversion to the hypocrisy of show business: “I struggled a bit with social norms. Especially in this job where you have to pretend, be kind to people you can’t fool… I had a lot of trouble!“. Not being docile, however, took her far.

An extraordinary career, especially since being a woman was not common currency in this environment: “It wasn’t fashionable at all. Being a comedian was not at all fashionable and being a woman was very incongruous. It’s true that for a long time, we were very much in the minority. Now, there are plenty of very talented female comedians, it’s no longer a problem. But at the time, I remember, at comedy festivals, I was, in quotes, ‘the service woman’. There was one woman, that was enough!“.
