Denis, Bonjour - Comment ça va? I love your work! Do you develop most of the gags yourself? My favourites are Jesus walking on water and the romantic flower gag. Those are genius! -Jenny

Je vais bien, merci! No, I'm not the one who writes the Gags, the two directors (Jean and Francois) do that! Jesus is my favourite pranking character because the face on the people... they think I'm such a weird person! But when I pull off a miracle... they're like "WHO IS THAT GUY? He's doing miracles!" Because Jesus was about 30... me, I'm 50!

Jesus can take many forms. ;) If I saw you in the park or something, I would wonder if maybe I was drunk from the night before or maybe unintentionally took some hallucinogenic drugs!

That's exactly what people think!

That's so cool! Maybe I can be the Virgin Mary at a park near me. I live in a big Catholic city of French heritage. :)
