Comment Draguer Après 50 Ans - Espace Gerson, Lyon

Espace Gerson welcomes “Comment draguer après 50 ans”

From our intimate stage in the heart of Lyon, Espace Gerson is delighted to host the witty and tender whirlwind that is Comment draguer après 50 ans. Our room is built for closeness: the performer, the first rows, and the punchlines share the same breath, which is exactly the atmosphere this show thrives on. The subject—relearning the language of flirtation when experience is rich and the world has changed—calls for a space where glances, pauses, and improvisation matter. Expect a playful evening that blends observational humor with sly self-deprecation, a gentle dose of mischief, and a keen eye for the rituals that surround modern dating. If you follow recent comedy showcases like Paname Comedy Club, Montreux Comedy, La Drôle de Chronique, or segments seen on Quotidien, you will feel at home with the pace and tone: conversational, candid, and always alert to the audience’s energy. At Espace Gerson, that energy becomes an extra character in the show.

What unfolds on stage at Espace Gerson

Comment draguer après 50 ans plays like a field guide to connection in the age of apps, emojis, and reading glasses. Without giving away the surprises, the evening spirals through the funniest “practical” questions: how to write a bio that feels real without sounding like a résumé; how to craft that first message when predictive text seems to know you a little too well; how to decode the modern etiquette of coffee, wine, and WhatsApp voice notes; how to charm without pretending to be twenty; and, crucially, how to laugh at oneself along the way. The performer slips between stand-up confessions and quick character sketches—a fitness coach who thinks every crush is solved by squats, a well-meaning friend who edits profiles like a zealous copywriter, a dance partner who believes rhythm is a state of mind. Espace Gerson’s close-up acoustics allow each beat to land, and the show’s playful audience interactions—little polls, spur-of-the-moment “bio rewrites,” and mock first-date scenarios—flourish in our room. Those who enjoy the crisp, contemporary flavor of comedy recently amplified on Paname Comedy Club and the online drops from Montreux Comedy will recognize the modern, agile storytelling here.

From a programmer’s viewpoint, what excites us most is how alive this piece is right now. Comment draguer après 50 ans arrives in Lyon with freshly polished sequences shaped by current habits—micro-dramas on dating apps, the return of social dancing, and the etiquette of meeting adult children or longtime friends. The performance you catch at Espace Gerson is designed to be responsive: topical winks, local references, and new turns of phrase appear from night to night, the way sharp comedy should. The show’s architecture leaves room for the performer to stretch, to riff, and to react, and we have tuned our lights and sound to support that in-the-moment craftsmanship. For audiences who keep up with recent humor on La Drôle de Chronique or the fast-moving stand-up spirit circulating through Paname Comedy Club and the Montreux Comedy releases, there is a familiar electricity here—honest, warm, and delightfully unfiltered. Lyon’s Espace Gerson offers the perfect vantage point to watch those moments spark: a seasoned artist, an intergenerational crowd, and a topic that belongs to everyone who still believes a good conversation is the best way to begin.
