A French journalist invades female humor like it's an undiscovered country—chaos ensues.
In the land of Chamoux, there are powerful women from the 2020s who are unable to get a raise, hyper-efficient secret agents who are unaware of their abilities, friends who listen without seeming to, and women who believe in telekinesis. There are girls who count quickly and accurately, girls who speak too softly, and girls who think too loudly. The common thread is Elise Lucide, an insatiable and sensationalist investigative reporter, a pure product of the old-school French media landscape, determined to bring viewers the purest essence of this terra incognita: female humor. From couple's life to palliative care, from schools to Comedy Clubs, Chamouxland is a journey to the limits of the post-modern, post-feminist, and post-Me-Too world.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chamoux and Bailly emerged from France's 'new wave' of female comedy collectives, where stand-up became deliberate political theater.
The 'Comedy Club' finale was shot at actual open-mic nights; some audience reactions are unscripted, making the meta-layer almost unbearable.
