, and also presented by him.

The show is the French version of "Schillerstrasse", a programme on Sat1, the German television channel.

Principle

For 26 minutes, in public, comedians have to produce a scene identical to that in a theatre, while improvising their text based on a situation evolving from the characteristics of their characters (which were determined prior to the sketch). To do this, each comedian wears an earpiece, connected live to the microphone of the show's presenter (in this case Benjamin Castaldi, in France). He gives games for the artists in the scene to improvise.
In France, each episode took place in the apartment of Sören and Noémie (brother and sister), with their different friends and co-workers visiting.
