Comment Draguer Après 50 Ans - Espace Gerson, Lyon

Comment draguer après 50 ans arrives on our intimate Espace Gerson stage

At Espace Gerson, we have a privileged vantage point on how a room of strangers becomes a community, and Comment draguer après 50 ans is precisely the kind of show that thrives in our intimate Lyon setting. This new date brings a sharp, playful and tender look at modern courtship once the calendar has added a few pages, with observational humor that works best when the performer is close enough to catch a raised eyebrow or a conspiratorial smile. Our brick-and-velvet cocoon is designed for that closeness: you hear the cadence of the punchlines, the quiet chuckles between the laughs, and the warm, self-deprecating asides that a larger hall would swallow. Expect a living-room tone with club-level rhythm—minimal props, deft timing, and the kind of audience interplay that our regulars love, from spontaneous advice riffs to cheeky “dating diagnostics” delivered table-side. Whether you are proudly over 50, happily under, or simply curious about the universal comedy of mismatched expectations and second chances, this night at Espace Gerson is shaped to make you feel part of the story.

Recent creative energy and a show crafted for Lyon

From our seat in the wings, we have watched this artist fine-tune a fresh cycle of material that fits our room like a glove. Across recent workshop sets and warm-ups, new bits have emerged with titles that give away the gleeful tone: Le Speed Dating de quartier, Le Profil qui pique, and Le Message vocal de 23h14 have all sparked big reactions, weaving everyday tech mishaps with old-school charm. That energy carries into Comment draguer après 50 ans, whose spine is a playful “field guide” to post-fifty chemistry—deciphering emojis with reading glasses, rethinking first-date etiquette when knees creak louder than the floorboards, and embracing the elegance of saying no. The show’s pacing reflects a comedian in full control of craft: quick observational bursts alternate with longer stories that build to rolling laughter, punctuated by audience prompts that can send a scene off in an irresistible new direction. We have seen the set tighten week after week, with callbacks that reward attentive listeners and a final sequence that brings the room together—a hallmark of the best nights at Espace Gerson.

Staging at Espace Gerson highlights the performer’s conversational style. The lighting warms rather than dazzles, keeping eyes and attention on the micro-expressions that sell the jokes, while the sound design keeps every aside audible in the back row without losing the intimacy of the front. Our team loves the way this show invites people to compare notes at the bar—“Was that your ringtone?” “Do we still call it a ‘date’?”—and then carries that shared laughter back into the room. Because our venue prioritizes proximity, the improvisations breathe; the performer can play with our layout, ping-ponging from one pocket of the audience to another, teasing out differences in Lyonnais neighborhoods’ romance myths or turning a throwaway comment into a running gag. In a season where Espace Gerson celebrates humor that connects generations, Comment draguer après 50 ans sits at the center of the program: generous, agile, and refreshingly honest about the joys and pratfalls of meeting someone new when you already know yourself. Come discover why this material, born in small rooms and sharpened by real conversations, lands with particular sparkle on our stage.
