Maxim Martin

After more than 30 years of shows, radio, hosting and landmark acts at the Just for Laughs Galas, you’d think Maxim Martin had moved on to another stage in his life. He has written a best-seller, “Excessif”, about his struggles with alcohol and drugs, and even gives lectures on “the pleasure of becoming wise”. And yet, with his latest show, F**koff, we find him not as much mellowed as assertive, exploring the letting go that inhabits him in his early fifties. In a rigid society where we no longer know what we can laugh about, Maxim Martin once again has fun reconciling us with our taboos.
