A French-style variety show
This program brings back the spirit of classic French television: live performance, humor, spontaneity, and a sense of freedom rarely seen today.
A rehearsal that becomes a show
What starts as a rehearsal quickly turns into something much bigger. With her pianist, Yvette creates moments that feel raw, spontaneous and incredibly entertaining.
A playful tribute to French music
One of the highlights is her reinterpretation of a classic French song — transformed with humor, attitude and a unique sense of timing.
Behind the scenes
This show was also a challenge for HappyGayTV: creating a real entertainment program, a joyful break from more serious topics.
There were no rehearsals. Several takes, a lot of focus… and just as many bursts of laughter caused by Yvette herself.
The result is something authentic, lively and genuinely unpredictable.
Who is Yvette Leglaire?
Yvette Leglaire is not just a performer. She is a character, a creation, a fusion between fiction and reality.
She first appeared in a parody show in Paris, and from that moment on, something unique was born.
As she says: “All women have a mystery… the rest doesn’t really matter.”
A cult figure from Paris
Over the years, she has built a loyal audience, especially in the Paris gay district, while remaining accessible to everyone.
Why audiences love her
Here is the paradox: she is not a “perfect” singer… and that’s exactly why people love her.
Her humor, her honesty, and her freedom create a rare connection with the audience.
She makes people laugh — but also feel something deeper.
A unique Parisian experience
This show is more than entertainment. It’s a glimpse into Parisian cabaret culture, where humor and emotion coexist.
And then… there are the surprises. Especially in the final part, where one of the hosts reacts with a hilariously unexpected sense of jealousy — a moment that perfectly captures the playful spirit of the show.
And yes… there is something waiting after the credits.
