Chicandier Et Mathou Cann - Interdit Au Public

Espace Gerson welcomes Chicandier et Mathou Cann Interdit au public

At Espace Gerson, we are delighted to host the irrepressible duo behind Chicandier et Mathou Cann Interdit au public, a night tailored to the electricity and intimacy of our Lyon stage. Our room’s close-up sightlines and warm acoustics are built for comics who thrive on proximity, and Chicandier’s raw, larger-than-life persona—paired with Mathou’s razor timing—makes that connection crackle from the first line. Expect an unfiltered, high-spirited exchange with the audience, the kind of confessional humor that feels as if it’s being forged in real time between tables, spotlights, and a chorus of laughter. The title isn’t a tease; it’s a promise of material that refuses to be domesticated—stories about friendship, appetites, and the wonderfully questionable decisions people make when the evening stretches late in Lyon. In our setting, where every seat is a good one, the duo’s back-and-forth, their improvisations, and their perfectly timed asides ring out with a clarity that turns punchlines into shared secrets.

Their current momentum, onstage and online

Chicandier keeps stoking a loyal fanbase with the unapologetically cheeky “La Minute de Chicandier,” whose recent clips have surged across social media, and the web sketches “Chicandier et son Mathou,” where the pair sharpen the comic chemistry you’ll see live at Espace Gerson. Those short-form bursts feed an ever-expanding audience: they bounce from radio airwaves—regular nods from Rire & Chansons—to phones and feeds, then back to the stage where the jokes grow teeth. What distinguishes their present run is how current the writing feels: everyday gripes turn into gleefully bad ideas; friends and couples orbit the temptations of food, drink, and bravado; and the duo tilts these recognitions toward a climax of absurdity. The cadence is brisk, the energy high, with Mathou playing the sly counterpoint that lets Chicandier explode, then land, then twist the knife. Their recent city-to-city dates have further tightened the set, and the pair arrive in Lyon with material that’s road-tested, quick on its feet, and primed for the kind of spontaneous detours that our audience loves.

Chicandier et Mathou Cann Interdit au public at Espace Gerson leans into what our room does best: living-room immediacy with club-level bite. You’ll hear the unmistakable contours of their current repertoire—monologues that morph into tag-team roasts, sudden callbacks pulled from a throwaway line in the first minutes, and those glinting moments when a spectator’s expression becomes the spark of a new riff. Fans of “La Minute de Chicandier” will recognize the swaggering logic that turns a simple aperitif into an epic, while devotees of “Chicandier et son Mathou” will revel in the duo’s practiced mischief: one pushes, the other parries, and the bit lands where it’s most satisfying—right on the edge of what sounds “interdit.” Our team sets the room for clarity and comfort, with the bar serving before and after the show so the evening unfolds as a single experience: a welcome at the door, a burst of laughter in the light, the lingering echo of a punchline on the terrace. Lyon knows this duo; at Espace Gerson, you’ll feel why their momentum keeps building—because their comedy is forged in places exactly like ours, where the performer can hear the smile before the laugh arrives.
