Clem Monchalin - Sur Un Coup De Tête

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Clem Monchalin – Sur un coup de tête

As Le Boui-Boui, we cherish nights when the stage and the crowd share the same heartbeat, and Clem Monchalin brings exactly that with Sur un coup de tête. In our intimate room, every whisper of set-up and every aftershock of laughter travels to the back row and bounces right back to the mic, giving the artist room to play, pause, and pounce. This show thrives on the thrill of impulse—those decisions you make on a whim and spend the next week laughing about—and our close-quarters acoustics let the sharp turns, callbacks, and moments of improvisation land with precision. Expect a pace that alternates between nimble storytelling and punchy, physical beats, peppered with sly audience asides that our stage is built to hold. With our lights tuned for expressive faces and quick character flips, Sur un coup de tête becomes a living conversation, the kind of set that feels crafted for Le Boui-Boui’s scale and energy.

Artistically, Clem Monchalin’s current momentum is palpable: fresh material is rotating in, the writing leans confidently into contemporary angst and small daily victories, and the performance has tightened into a clear, personal voice that still leaves space for sudden detours. Fans who follow today’s francophone stand-up landscape—shaped by live and digital formats like Jamel Comedy Club, Montreux Comedy, Paname Comedy Club, Un Bon Moment, and FloodCast—will recognise the blend of conversational honesty and crafted punchlines that drives this set. Sur un coup de tête mines the comic gold of rash messages, family group chats, “it seemed like a good idea at the time” jobs, and the fragile choreography of modern romance. There is mischief in the timing, but there’s also warmth: observations that begin with a raised eyebrow often spiral, joyfully, into a shared confession. On our stage, those pivots are magnified; you can watch the thought land, see the grin widen, and feel the room lean forward before the next tag drops.

From our stage to your seat: the live experience

What matters to us at Le Boui-Boui is how you experience every beat of the hour, and Sur un coup de tête is engineered for that live spark. The set thrives on rhythm—tight, economical premises exploding into vivid scenes—and we keep the room crisp so the laughter rolls cleanly from front to back. Expect quick character pivots, playful crowd read reactions, and the kind of spontaneous riffs that only blossom in a venue like ours, where the distance between performer and listener is measured in eye contact. The show’s thematic spine—impulse as both chaos and catalyst—gives the evening a satisfying arc without losing the freedom to wander. Between bits that dissect micro-habits (the heroic to-do list you never finish, the performative “healthy day” that collapses at 9 p.m.) and broader portraits of friendships, families, and city life, the set keeps the surprises coming. We’re ready with the warmth, sound, and sightlines; Clem Monchalin brings the spark of Sur un coup de tête. All that’s left is you, the laugh, and the shared breath of a room that loves stand-up.
