Pierre Trimouillat

Pierre Trimouillat (1858 – 5 January 1929) was a French songwriter, comedian and singer who was active in the cabarets of Paris in the 1890s.

[1] He appeared at Le Chat Noir by 1891, an important step in gaining recognition in the Parisian cabaret scene.

[5] Trimouillat proposed to the owner of the Procope to establish a cabaret on the first floor called Le Gringoire.

Performers included Paul Delmet, Eugène Lemercier, Vincent Hyspa, Gabriel de Lautrec, Yan Nibor and Marcel Legay.

For a long time he was one of the main performers at Le Chat Noir, where his thin voice would draw laughter from the audience.
