Krissie Illing

Présentation

Humoriste visuelle déchaînée– Angleterre

Krissie Illing est une des rares humoristes, qui a pu se faire un nom dans le domaine de ‘’l’humour’’, habituellement dominé par les hommes.

Issue de la tradition comique Anglaise, formée comme une danseuse presque classique des années 70 à la dentition de cheval, Krissie Illing interprète son personnage mythique de Wilma.

La presse allemande, pays où elle tourne depuis 21 ans, la décrit comme le rejeton de Jerry Lewis et Miss Piggy .

Ses sketches, comme son imitation de la reine d’Angleterre, sont hilarants, rapides et complètement déjantés.

Cette Anglaise est déroutante !
Elle maîtrise à merveille les muscles de son corps et surtout de son visage.
Tous les thèmes qu'elle aborde sont tournés en dérision, comme savent si bien le faire nos amis d'outre-Manche.
Un moment d'humour visuel explosif !
