Arnaud Tsamère - Nouveau Spectacle - Tournée

Arnaud Tsamere brings his Nouveau spectacle to Lyon

From our stage in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome Arnaud Tsamere with his Nouveau spectacle, a fresh chapter in a career that has continually surprised and delighted audiences across France. As part of a broader Tournée, this new date at Bourse du Travail Lyon places the spotlight on a master of offbeat timing, orchestrated digressions, and quicksilver improvisation. We have long admired how Tsamere builds comic tension from the tiniest everyday detail, and this new set refines that hallmark with a renewed sense of play. The energy of his performances—both meticulously written and agile enough to bend toward the moment—makes him a perfect fit for our room, where attentive listening and bursts of laughter live side by side. For us as hosts, it’s a thrill to prepare the stage, the sound, and the lights for a comedian whose art thrives on nuance, surprise, and the shared pleasure of being together in the same space.

What audiences can expect on the night

Our team’s conversations with touring colleagues and early spectators confirm that this Nouveau spectacle leans into Tsamere’s favorite territory: elaborate “false starts,” apparent non sequiturs that stitch themselves together, and the joyous whiplash of a narrative that refuses to travel in a straight line. Expect a scenic setup that keeps the frame clean and focused—the better to showcase his silhouette, gestures, and the rhythm of his voice—while our lighting desk underscores the shifts from intimate aside to full-throttle punchline. The art here isn’t only in the text; it’s also in the space between Tsamere and the audience. Even the slightest reaction in the room can send him into an improvised flourish that feels tailor‑made for Lyon. We have built the evening schedule to allow the material to stretch and breathe, because those living, in‑the‑moment detours are part of his magic. Whether he is playfully dismantling a daily-life annoyance, turning administrative nightmares into surreal games, or testing a crowd’s patience only to reward it with a perfectly engineered payoff, Tsamere’s stagecraft invites you to lean in, listen closely, and laugh hard.

Hosting this date also means celebrating an artist whose present momentum grows from a rich body of work. Many spectators first met Arnaud Tsamere through On n’demande qu’à en rire, where his singular approach—half-conférence, half‑wrecking ball—stood out instantly. Later tours, including 2 mariages & 1 enterrement, deepened that world with longer-form arcs and recurring motifs that fans still quote in our lobby. His media appearances continue to keep him in the public ear; audiences often mention catching him on Les Grosses Têtes or enjoying his playful turns on Vendredi tout est permis, testifying to a performer who moves easily between theater and broadcast. This new Tournée keeps that conversation going, but with fresh angles, a sharpened pen, and a desire to test boundaries without losing warmth. In preparing this date at Bourse du Travail Lyon, we have focused on respecting his dynamic range: clear sound for the whispered aside, the quick cue for the sudden reversal, and the visual quiet that lets a single raised eyebrow earn its laugh. For us, this is not just another stop on a tour; it’s an invitation to witness a comedian at a fertile moment, folding years of craft into a show designed to feel as if it’s happening for the first—and only—time, right here in Lyon.
