Pierrick St-Pierre aka Mr Banana explains why Interactive Comedy is so different from everyday Entertainment?


mrbananashow.com
Pierrick St-Pierre uses interactive comedy mixed with circus skills to captivate audience worldwide. He is now based in Berlin, Germany.

Pierrick St-Pierre who is popularly known as Mr Banana performs worldwide and to this day he has taken his show to more than 40 countries. This extensive travelling has given him the understanding that each culture differs in ways and habits. On that account Pierrick realized that his show had to be adapted in accordance to the culture that would receive him but also he had to find the common denominator that makes us all human.   With this knowledge he is capable of engaging the audience in a way that everyone is able to relate to…   

By using interactive comedy as a way of self expression, Mr Banana entertains the audience and brings to his show originality and spontaneity, in doing so he leaves space for the unknown to unfold.  This type of performance is unique in the sense that no show is exactly the same.  By engaging the audience and in playing with their reactions, each show is truly a masterpiece in itself and can never be repeated.  This creative way of going about performance is a product that cannot be match by what you see on television.  The human interactivity makes any artform alive.  The audience is no longer passive and by having a more significant role in the piece that is enacted by the performer, this very audience is captivated in a unexpected way. There is a sense of oneness and togetherness that arises from this play.

Recently, Mr Banana gave a TEDx Talk on interactive comedy.

Pierrick St-Pierre was born in an upper middle class family in Quebec City Canada home to the renown Cirque du Soleil. Growing up he was always fascinated by the extreme aptitudes of the human body.  Wanting to see what life had to offer, he left home early in life.  The joy that he experienced travelling was matched once he realized his real home would be on stage.   Stepping out of the comfort zone was his first step into becoming what he is now. He has always been drawn towards the unknown where he became aware of the magic that happens there. The thought of becoming a performer originated from a strong desire to harness the magic that occurs out of the Everyday Life.
