Camille Lienard - C'est Pas La Nuit Qu'elle Dort

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Camille Lienard

At Le Boui-Boui, we are thrilled to host Camille Lienard with her sharply tuned one-woman show C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort, a piece calibrated for our intimate Lyon stage where every breath, glance, and punchline lands with precision. Our room is built for proximity: you feel the current of the performer’s thought before the laugh breaks, and Camille thrives in exactly this kind of contact. Her latest artistic momentum has carried her across clubs and festivals, where she has honed a style that swings between storyteller’s finesse and stand‑up immediacy, threading nocturnal anxieties with a disarming lightness. Expect the elastic physicality of a seasoned comedian, quick-fire callbacks, and the soft glow of late-hour confessionals turned into bright, collective laughter. We’ve tuned our lighting and sound to frame the show’s sleepless heartbeat—warm, focused backlights, tight mic presence, and a room mix tailored to Camille’s nimble changes of pace—so that every whisper of self-mockery and every surge of energy feels close, clear, and playful.

Inside C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort

C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort maps the funny topography of wakefulness with sketches that spiral from a stray thought to a full comic universe. Camille threads set pieces like Insomniac Olympics, where everyday tasks turn into late-night events; The 3 a.m. Fridge Negotiations, a culinary duel with the light that never sleeps; Notifications at 4:12, a rhythmic volley of pings and panic; and Pillow Talk with Myself, a mischievous dialogue that becomes a chorus of inner voices. On our Le Boui-Boui stage, these segments take on a cinematic quality: the angle of a lamp becomes an accomplice, a lullaby’s hum flips into a backbeat, and a silence rides just long enough to sharpen the next laugh. What makes Camille’s presence so arresting is her grip on tempo—she can stretch a micro-gesture into a bit of choreography, then snap back to a razor one-liner. Our audience knows this room rewards that kind of agility, and we’ve curated the set to let her pivot from quiet intimacy to playful crowd interplay without breaking the thread of the night’s story.

Beyond this performance, Camille’s artistic news is electric with new writing and short-form drops that keep her audience checking in between shows. She’s been previewing fresh pieces online from a cycle that complements C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort, including Mode Avion (a rapid-fire riff on cutting off the world to hear yourself think), Minuteur 20 Minutes (a sprint through self-imposed deadlines), and La Nuit des Idées Fixes (a serial sketch where recurring obsessions become characters of their own). At Le Boui-Boui, we love artists who treat the stage like a lab, and Camille brings exactly that spirit: iterative, curious, and courageous. You can feel the evolution in the beats she’s refining—the way a look changes a line, the way a pause reframes the truth of a joke. This is a night for anyone who’s ever watched the ceiling tiles become constellations and then laughed at themselves for it. In our compact room, every seat is close to the action, and every laugh ricochets; Camille catches those echoes, stacks them, and sends you back into the Lyon night feeling a little lighter, and a little more awake to the comedy in the hours most people forget.
