Angie Degrolard - Je Repp

Angie Degrolard at Espace Gerson

From our stage at Espace Gerson, we are thrilled to welcome Angie Degrolard with Je Repp, a creation that feels tailor‑made for our intimate room and its appetite for sharp, living comedy. As a venue known for close‑up encounters between artist and audience, we love how Je Repp plays with voice, rhythm, and personality: the punchlines land like hooks, the silences breathe, and Angie’s quickfire shifts between characters truly come alive within arm’s reach of the front row. Expect an evening where stand‑up collides with textured storytelling and playful tempo—somewhere between riff, confession, and rhythmic spoken word—crafted to resonate in our warm lights and brick‑and‑velvet acoustics. We program artists who push form and feeling, and Angie’s show fits that DNA: personal, urban, and deeply present, with that unmistakable Lyon heartbeat that Espace Gerson celebrates every night.

The world of Je Repp

Angie’s recent artistic momentum has been palpable in the way new material has surfaced across her latest sets and digital clips, and Je Repp gathers that energy into one coherent, punchy hour. We’ve seen her sharpening pieces that audiences have already started to quote back to her—sketches like “Guide de Survie à Lyon,” where neighborhood quirks meet street‑smart philosophy; “Mode Avion,” a sparkling riff on the myth of switching off; “Swipe Gauche, Swipe Droite,” which turns dating apps into a live sociological experiment; and “Open Space Blues,” an office-life whirlwind that morphs coffee breaks into mini‑sagas. In Je Repp, Angie braids those threads with brand‑new beats and reveals, building a journey that expands beyond punchlines into mood, cadence, and cultural remix. She plays with pace, sometimes lacing a run of jokes with percussion‑like phrasing, sometimes slowing into a tender observation about family messages pinging at midnight. The result is a set that laughs at our modern rituals while finding a beat you can feel in your seat.

Here at Espace Gerson, our house design makes Je Repp surprisingly immersive: the tight sightlines and responsive acoustics let Angie’s vocal colorings, throwaway asides, and crowd‑work sparkle without losing detail. The show thrives on the lived reality of the room—those micro‑moments when a row nods in agreement, when a balcony chuckle grows into a full‑room wave. Angie leans into that, sliding from observational riffs to playful mock‑rap cadences, and teasing interactive bits that turn listeners into co‑conspirators. Look out for fresh passages and evolving tags as the tour passes through Lyon, including new detours like “Rendez‑vous 19h03,” a hilariously precise ode to lateness; “Micro‑trottoir de l’amour,” where street interviews meet romantic logic; “Team Building du Chaos,” a send‑up of corporate bonding; and “Petit Déjeuner à 14h,” a hymn to the procrastination we pretend is productivity. With Je Repp, Angie Degrolard arrives confident, curious, and tuned to the city’s pulse—and our team is proud to host the show where that pulse can be heard, seen, and felt up close.
