Anthony Bechtatou - Faites Du Bruit

Anthony Bechtatou at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we are thrilled to welcome Anthony Bechtatou with his high-energy show Faites du bruit, a title that perfectly matches the spirit of our intimate, laughter-filled room. From our vantage point just off the stage lights, we’ve watched audiences lean forward as Anthony takes the mic and turns everyday life into tightly crafted comedy with the effortless warmth of a natural raconteur. Our venue’s closeness to the audience is central to the experience: the chuckles that build from the first seconds, the spontaneous exchanges, the electric hush before a punchline lands. Anthony thrives in that live-wire environment, blending sharp observation with quick improvisation that makes each performance feel handcrafted for the night at hand. With a veteran’s timing yet a fresh, contemporary voice, he navigates modern habits, family dynamics, and city quirks, amplifying the room’s energy until it meets the show’s rallying cry. As hosts, we set the stage; Anthony turns it into a playground where connection, rhythm, and surprise rule.

Inside Faites du bruit

Faites du bruit is built like a conversation that keeps discovering new gears. Anthony’s signature is the way he corrals the room—raising the energy when the story crescendos, lowering it to a pinpoint when silence serves the punchline. In our space, you’ll hear the texture of that craft: the way a throwaway aside blossoms into a callback twenty minutes later, the way a raised eyebrow gets as much mileage as a paragraph. He organizes the hour into vivid segments he playfully titles onstage, including Mode Avion, Silence, je scrolle, and Service Après-Rire—bits that map our everyday rituals and contradictions, from compulsive notifications to the unwritten rules of courtesy. There’s crowd work without pressure, character work without caricature, and a musical sense of pacing that makes the evening feel both free and meticulously arranged. Because our room invites proximity, Anthony can riff on an audience suggestion, weave it into a story, then loop back to it as if it were always part of the script. The result is a living show that keeps the spontaneity of stand-up intact while delivering the satisfaction of a fully realized hour.

Anthony’s current artistic momentum is palpable, and we’re proud that Le Boui-Boui is one of the places where it gathers speed. This season, he has been refining brand-new material for a broader run, testing ideas, polishing transitions, and daring bigger swings. You’ll catch him expanding on recent crowd favorites like Plan de table and Micro de poche—compact, high-impact bits that showcase his conversational style—alongside fresh pieces that deepen his themes and broaden his range. The night you attend will likely include moments that didn’t exist a week ago and won’t exist again in quite the same form, precisely because our stage doubles as a creative workshop and a celebration. That’s why Anthony is such a natural fit for our venue: he invites the room to collaborate in real time, then rewards that trust with craft, timing, and heart. If you follow contemporary stand-up, you’ll recognize in his work the hallmarks of a modern voice: personal without being confessional, topical without chasing headlines, generous with laughter but anchored in point of view. From first greeting to final applause, Faites du bruit is tuned to the acoustics of our club and the energy of our audience—and we can’t wait to hear the room answer back.
