Born on 11 June 1987 in Benin, Edgar-Yves Monnou Junior grew up across several European capitals following his father's diplomatic postings before settling in France. After studying law in Nantes, he dropped everything to pursue stand-up in 2011. Noticed for his show "Certifié Taquin," he moved to Paris in 2017 and became a regular commentator on Rire et Chansons that same year. His direct, unfiltered humor takes on colonization, Françafrique, and the hypocrisies of elites, African and Western alike. A sharp-eyed Franco-Beninese voice, Edgar-Yves has become a key figure of engaged stand-up, making audiences laugh while questioning the shared history of Africa and Europe.
