Since the accident he caused in February 2023, Pierre Palmade has been trying to rebuild his life in the shadows. While he awaits his trial, scheduled for November 20, the artist surprisingly still manages to work for a living. A way for the 55-year-old comedian to preserve a semblance of professional activity while avoiding controversy.
How does Pierre Palmade manage to earn his living?
Despite awaiting his judgment, Pierre Palmade has not completely left the comedy scene. In a report broadcast on TF1, it was revealed that he continues his writing activitiesnotably by collaborating with other comedians. In order to avoid attracting attention, he uses a pseudonym to sign his texts. This precaution aims to avoid possible controversies linked to its presence in the industry, while its legal situation remains uncertain.
This discreet writing activity seems to be a support for the comedian, who, according to those close to him, is in search of redemption. According to François Rollin, a long-time friend of Pierre Palmade, the latter is marked by the tragic consequences of his behavior.
The injured child and the dead child in his mother’s womb will haunt him until the end of his days.
He specifies that the comedian stopped all alcohol and drug use for more than a year, although he was seen in nightclubs during the summer of 2023.
It’s a tiny victory in a sea of disasters.
“Pierre Palmade transformed our lives into hell”

In it, a man, Yuksel, his seven-year-old son, Devrim, and Yuksel’s sister-in-law, seven months pregnant. This accident caused irreversible consequences for the affected family. Yuksel testified to his son’s suffering in the same report:
Because of the scars on his head, he is in constant pain, et cannot tolerate the sun or the cold. He has plaques in his mouth, so when he eats, his jaws get tired very quickly. He had to repeat his CE1 class. The teachers explained to me that he has panic attacks and can no longer concentrate.
As for the pregnant woman, the baby she was carrying did not survive the accident. Profound after-effects for the whole family. Yuksel concluded his testimony by saying that Pierre Palmade had “turned our life into hell“. As the trial approaches, Pierre Palmade faces up to 14 years in prison and a fine of 200,000 euros.
