Ron White: French Resistance

Ron White's "French Resistance" tour waves the white flag at Boston's Laugh Boston on June 15, 2025, chronicling one Texan's doomed attempt at continental sophistication. "They said 'bienvenue to France'," White recalls while butchering the pronunciation. "I heard 'bring wine to France' - which seemed redundant." The material explores cultural misunderstandings through White's trademark blend of ignorance and enthusiasm, including his infamous "Fromage Fiasco" (brie should not be microwaved) and controversial "Mime Intervention" (some silences need to be broken). Guest linguist Dr. Claire Fontaine provides unintentional comedy by explaining proper French pronunciation while White demonstrates how to order "un whiskey" in 15 increasingly slurred variations. The show features a live "Oui or Oh Hell No?" game where audience members must determine if White's stories about France are plausible or pure fabrication (his "Eiffel Tower base jumping" tale remains unverified). Special segments include "My Night with a French Exchange Student" (she was from Quebec) and "How to Turn a Baguette Into a Weapon." Every ticket includes a complimentary beret (pre-stained with barbecue sauce) and a list of French phrases no local would ever say ("O� est le Chili's?").
