Patrick Veisselier is a comedian who has taken on the crazy challenge of going to play his show in China, even though he does not speak a word of Mandarin. The health crisis does not make it easy for him: he has to reach the country by car, ie 22,000 kilometers.

Comedian Patrick Veisselier learns his new show by heart in Chinese, he who does not speak a word of Mandarin. He performed his first show in Chinese, in China, in 2014, sometimes in front of 6,000 people. He must again recite 348 phonetic sentences. Her teacher, a friend living in China, helps her with her pronunciation. Being unemployed during the crisis, and faced with the cancellation of flights, he challenged himself to join China in a small car. His journey is expected to last seven weeks, and he is expected to cross 14 countries. The comedian is expected on June 17 and 19 in Chengdu and Guiyang.
Its long journey, punctuated by high mountains as in Kazakhstan, turns into an obstacle course in times of Covid-19, with a PCR test on each entry into a country. He is preparing to leave with his certificate of vaccination against Covid-19 and his three visas in his pocket. The coup of his adventure of 35,000 euros was funded by twenty partners. His text has been validated by Chinese censorship, but the artist, who has to travel 22,000 kilometers, still has time to rehearse.
