Aymeric Lompret - Yolo - Tournée

Aymeric Lompret’s YOLO tournée arrives in Lyon

We are proud to welcome Aymeric Lompret with his show YOLO as part of the YOLO tournée, right here in Lyon at Bourse du Travail Lyon. From our vantage point as a performance hall, we know how a room’s first breath can shape a night, and Aymeric is the kind of comedian who seizes that breath, bends it, and releases it as laughter that comes in waves. His delivery is quick, incisive, and joyfully irreverent, and it thrives on the living pulse of an audience. Our technical crew has prepared a stage picture that supports his whip‑smart pacing—clean lights, razor‑sharp sound, and a rhythm that allows his punchlines to detonate with precision. The promise of this date is an evening where the crowd’s energy becomes part of the show, where the city’s appetite for bold stand‑up meets a performer who loves to toy with expectations, break a subject apart, and return it to you sharper and funnier than you remembered.

The artist in the spotlight

Aymeric’s current momentum is palpable. His previous show, Tant pis, established a voice that fans now recognize instantly: sardonic yet oddly tender, caustic but curious. In the lead‑up to YOLO tournée, he has continued to stoke that momentum with widely shared clips and strong stage time that remind audiences how elastic his comedy can be. Recent appearances and highlights connected to major comedy platforms—such as sets circulated by Montreux Comedy and segments associated with France Inter’s La Bande Originale—have amplified his presence beyond the walls of any one theatre, and we feel that buzz well before doors open. As a comedy room, we listen for how a comedian calibrates the first minutes: Aymeric tends to set a topic down—relationships, politics, eco‑anxiety, the awkward freedoms of adulthood—then prowls around it, stacking detours until the payoff knocks the air out of the room. That craft is no accident; it comes from touring hard, tightening transitions, and keeping the material alive night after night so every city gets the freshest cut. The result for our audience is a set that feels both authored and in the moment, precise yet playfully unstable, the kind of tension that great stand‑up thrives on.

What distinguishes YOLO in the context of the YOLO tournée, from our side of the stage, is how interactive the material becomes without ever feeling like “crowd work” for its own sake. Aymeric relishes the micro‑beats—an eyebrow raised in the second row, a pocket of laughter that arrives a fraction late, a gasp that suggests the next tag should be twisted even tighter—and he uses those beats to make each performance singular. Our house mix is designed to carry those tiny cues from the stage to the back rows, because his humor rewards attention: a throwaway image will return three minutes later as the hinge of a bigger bit, and an offhand remark can refract into a theme that runs through the hour. Fans who discovered him through Tant pis will recognize the moral mischief and the pleasure he takes in contradiction; those who have encountered his recent passages via La Bande Originale or a Montreux Comedy showcase will find the same fearless tone, now honed into a tour set that balances bite with buoyancy. As the lights rise and the room settles, we see the anticipation on faces: the shared pact of an evening where, for once, living only once is an invitation to laugh at everything that makes it complicated. The city brings the appetite; Aymeric brings the spark; YOLO does the rest.
