David Voinson - Tournée

David Voinson brings his Tournée to Lyon

We are proud to welcome David Voinson and his Tournée to Bourse du Travail Lyon, where the stage will be set for a fast-paced, fully charged evening of contemporary stand-up. From our vantage point, the momentum surrounding this date has been unmistakable: audiences know David for razor-sharp observations about friendship, love, family, and the digital rituals that shape everyday life. His rise from viral clips to theater-sized rooms has been fueled by a writing style that feels both intimate and universal, mixing quick-fire punchlines with storytelling that breathes and builds. Fans who have followed his recent online waves will recognize the tone and timing of sketches such as Les applis de rencontre and Je ne suis pas jaloux, which distill modern romance and social media paranoia into bite-sized comic arrows. On stage in Lyon, that material is not merely repeated; it’s expanded through crowd work and improvisation that turn each performance into a one-night-only encounter. Expect high energy, nimble detours, and the kind of generous back-and-forth that makes a large room feel suddenly close.

What you’ll experience on the night

Our team’s preparation for this stop of the Tournée focuses on flow and clarity—letting David’s rhythm build from ice-breaking riffs into extended sequences where ideas collide and spark. The evening will move through his signature territories: the etiquette of first dates, the potholes of cohabitation, generational misunderstandings, and the tiny lies we tell ourselves to survive in a hyperconnected world. Recent crowd favorites—Le date parfait n’existe pas and Les potes toxiques—show how he turns everyday anxieties into communal laughter, with callbacks that tie the set together. He often leans into audience interactions to unlock fresh angles, so Lyon’s personality will inevitably color the show: a name from the first row turns into a three-minute runner; a throwaway comment becomes an anchor for the final act. The pacing is athletic, but the atmosphere remains warm, with David’s conversational tone inviting you in even as the jokes accelerate. From the wings, we see how carefully he modulates tension and release, allowing silences to land before he pounces with a twist you didn’t anticipate.

Beyond this date, David Voinson’s current artistic trajectory continues to grow across theaters and festivals, buoyed by new clips posted with remarkable regularity and a touring schedule that keeps adding cities. What stands out to us, as hosts for this Lyon performance, is how his new material stretches his earlier premises into something more personal—navigating ambition, self-doubt, and relationships with a candor that brings sharper stakes to the laughs. In rehearsal and soundcheck, he treats each room like a laboratory, tinkering with taglines, testing transitions, and polishing rhythms so that the final beat lands with maximum clarity. That attention to detail is felt in the room as he stacks quick observational bits next to longer arcs—an approach that rewards both first-time attendees and fans who have followed him from clip to clip. The Tournée in Lyon is also the right moment for audiences to catch the latest additions to his set, material he’s been honing over the last months and folding into an ever-tighter hour. If you’ve enjoyed the relentless pace and inventive angles of his recent sketches, you’ll find that same spark here, magnified by the atmosphere of a live crowd that’s ready to play along.
