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

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Camille Lienard

At Le Boui-Boui, we champion artists who bring wit, courage, and a livewire connection to the room, and that’s exactly why Camille Lienard and her new show C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort are taking pride of place on our stage. Our intimate Lyon setting puts you within arm’s reach of the performer, a perfect fit for an artist whose humor thrives on quicksilver exchanges, shared glances, and a storyteller’s instinct for timing. From the first beat, Lienard’s presence feels tailor-made for Le Boui-Boui: lean, agile, and invitingly mischievous, blending tightly crafted writing with a conversational ease that encourages the audience to lean in. The title hints at a nocturnal imagination—restless, curious, and wide awake to the absurd poetry of everyday life—and the show follows through with a series of lived-in scenes and incisive observations that flourish in the immediacy of our room. We’re delighted to host this moment in her trajectory, where new material, sharpened across clubs and late-night sets, meets an audience ready to laugh in the warm glow of Le Boui-Boui.

C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort at Le Boui-Boui

C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort plays like a guided tour through the times of day we rarely pause to examine: the early-morning scramble, the hush of a bus ride, the moment when a voicemail either rescues or ruins a plan. As a venue, we witness nightly how these small frames become big comedy when the writing is crisp and the performer fearless, and Lienard’s voice hits that sweet spot—self-aware without cynicism, playful without ever letting the stakes drop. Her current artistic momentum is palpable: audiences are discovering how her club-honed rhythm pairs with a keen ear for language, and the show’s architecture makes room for both nimble crowd work and narrative arcs that build to satisfying payoffs. If you keep up with recent comedy platforms and programs such as Montreux Comedy, Le Jamel Comedy Club, Le Paname Comedy Show, or Le Fridge Comedy Room, you’ll recognize the contemporary energy at play here—short, fast, and precise, then suddenly expansive, letting a story breathe just long enough for the laughter to arrive in waves. At Le Boui-Boui, we curate for that energy, ensuring the sound, sightlines, and tempo of the evening are dialed in so the punchlines land with clarity and the quieter beats feel as intimate as a whisper.

What distinguishes Lienard in our eyes—and ears—is the way she threads together slice-of-life realism with a playful stagecraft that keeps each segment fresh. One moment, she’s unpacking the rituals of getting out the door before dawn; the next, she’s teasing the quirks of group chats, open-space etiquette, or the strange choreography of public transport. The material in C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort feels current without leaning on headlines: it’s the comédie de mœurs of today’s hyperconnected city-dwellers, captured in snapshots and delivered with the lightness that a compact room like ours amplifies. For our audience at Le Boui-Boui, that means you’ll experience the show the way comedy lives best—up close, in the present, with genuine give-and-take. We’ve watched pieces tighten over the weeks, seen transitions get smoother, and felt the room surge when a new tag clicks into place. Whether you arrive as a long-time fan of club stand-up or you’ve come after discovering fresh acts through Drôle or the quick-fire clips that circulate from stages like Le Paname Comedy Show and Montreux Comedy, this is where it all comes together: a smart, spirited hour with Camille Lienard, in a venue built for laughter to travel fast and linger long.
