Angie Degrolard - Je Repp

Espace Gerson welcomes Angie Degrolard with Je Repp

At Espace Gerson, we relish those electrifying nights when a comedian steps into the light and the room collectively leans forward. That is precisely the energy we anticipate with Angie Degrolard and her show Je Repp. From our vantage point—intimate, close to the breath and heartbeat of a live set—we see how her presence rewires the air: a quicksilver rhythm, a gaze that reads the crowd, and a writing voice that turns everyday contradictions into vivid, shared moments. Je Repp moves with the modern pulse of stand-up: sharp observational beats, buoyant self-deprecation, and fearless asides that riff with the audience. Expect a set that pivots between razor-edged wit and a disarming tenderness, where the craft of timing meets a playful readiness to catch whatever the room throws back. In the unique acoustics of our space, laughter travels fast, and Angie’s punchlines land with a crispness that underlines the care she brings to structure, callbacks, and the spontaneous thrills of live comedy.

Artistic momentum, onstage now

Angie’s current momentum feels unmistakably contemporary: Je Repp is built like a living document—workshop-honed, relentlessly updated, and tuned to today’s conversations about identity, work, pop culture, and the ever-messy social feed that frames our days. As a venue that regularly hosts work-in-progress performances and polished hours alike, we recognize the craft at play here: a comedian unafraid to test, trim, and top-spin a premise until it chirps with precision. The texture of Je Repp will speak to audiences who follow the new wave of French stand-up amplified by shows such as Soixante (Canal+), Jamel Comedy Club, and the Montreux Comedy Festival specials, and who catch comedy’s zeitgeist on mainstream talk formats like Quotidien and Clique. You’ll hear crowd work that feels like a duetted confession, see narrative arcs that swing back for smart, satisfying payoffs, and notice how Angie leans into the elastic pace of the room. From the front rows to the back, the humor is designed to feel personal—quick to connect, patient enough to deepen—so that each laugh multiplies the next.

For us at Espace Gerson, staging Je Repp is about creating the optimal frame for that connection. Our room is intentionally human-scale, with sightlines, sound, and lighting engineered to serve nuance just as well as big laughs. We keep the focus where it belongs—on the mic, the material, and the chemistry of a crowd discovering it together. On the night, you can expect a warm welcome, seating that preserves the intimacy of stand-up, and a technical team attentive to the cadence of the set, from the hush of a thoughtful beat to the snap of a punchline. Je Repp invites you to step into a living conversation—no fourth wall, no distance, just the thrill of a comedian and an audience finding the rhythm together. Whether you come as a devoted fan of Angie Degrolard or you’re discovering her here for the first time, we’re ready to host the kind of evening that stays with you long after the lights come up, the kind of live moment that keeps Lyon’s comedy heartbeat strong at Espace Gerson.
