Many radio stations run humorous segments on the air. And this phenomenon isn’t new.
It's the editorial line of Rire & Chansons, which doesn’t just broadcast original sketches but also, in its schedule, alternates full songs and complete sketches. Humor is also a specialty of the public broadcaster France Inter. Throughout the day, many programs each have their own designated columnists, and they rotate across the week.
There are also shows dedicated to humor, such as Les Grosses Têtes with Laurent Ruquier on RTL, and the humorous chronicles on generalist or music radio. RFM and RTL, in particular, each have their own morning humorous segment. Also worth noting is the local radio network France Bleu, which offers various programs or humorous chronicles with, often, regional comedians.
They’ll have you rolling with laughter when you hear them on the airwaves? Unless you catch their chronicles in podcast form? Either way, humorists are prolific on the radio too—another string to their bow, beyond the stage.
After hearing them on the radio, you’ll be eager to see them on stage, in a longer format? Look no further, they’re here. And radio often serves as a springboard for these artists.
