Hugh Laurie, gentleman du Blues. Madame Figaro, novembre 2013
Hugh Laurie, Blues gentleman.
The British actor, famous for his Dr House character, is now an author, composer and singer. A portrait. For almost 10 years, the oh-so-British actor was Dr House, the most irresistible antihero in the world-most-watched TV show. Nowadays the 50-something wonderboy, also a L'Oreal spokeperson, writes, composes and ( Read more... ) -
Concert Hugh Laurie, Paris Le Grand Rex, July 9th,2013
Paris Le Grand Rex, or the third Paris date.
Once a year I stop consulting early, get on a train for Paris and go to see Hugh Laurie perform. Once a year, watching and hearing him, I marvel at the charm he owns and at the so different abilities he shows.
So far, each show, even with a very scripted frame, has given a different vibe.

My first HL concert, Paris, Le Trianon, May 2011
Since I posted reviews of 2012 concerts her, I thought it felt right to add my feelings about the first concert I attended in 2011. It was initially posted at House's House of Whining forum the night after the concert. There is indeed a giddiness at seeing him live in person for the first time. But since this was part of his first tour of 6 dates, ( Read more... ) -
A little charade : the portraits at HL concerts
Hugh Laurie has been performing in concerts with a portrait close to his piano. It looks like they appeared when he started playing in Europe. The portrait is always someone British, with an obvious or a more difficult-to-find link to the place he is playing at. Is it a personal joke? Is it a game with the audience? How (and why) did he come up ( Read more... ) -

How Hugh unfolded after the end of House, or musings on my second Hugh Laurie concert
How Hugh unfolded after the end of House, or musings on my second Hugh Laurie concert.
First of all, I disagree: it's not a concert. It's a show, with music, probably his personal vision of a concert, but still, a show. With acting, scripted from beginning to end, with decors, too. A glimpse in the brilliant maze that this man's brain must be. ( Read more... ) -
Interviews in French mags
HL Series Mag interview : This interview sounds forged. The first paragraph on the car crash is, word for word, David Shore's interview saying « he always believed that House could kill someone » and he was aiming for the house, not the people inside. Then HL said he found the car crash idea brilliant, because Huddy had to end in an explosive way ( Read more... )
