Comment Draguer Après 50 Ans - Espace Gerson, Lyon

Espace Gerson welcomes Comment draguer après 50 ans in the heart of Lyon

At Espace Gerson, we love comedy that thrives on proximity, quicksilver timing, and authentic audience connection. That is precisely why Comment draguer après 50 ans feels so at home on our stage in Vieux Lyon. In our intimate, café-théâtre setting, every raised eyebrow lands, every pause ripples, and every confession turns into a shared secret. This show leans into the joyful absurdity of midlife courtship—dating apps that read like medical questionnaires, gym memberships bought with the noblest intentions, and the elegant art of flirting when your glasses live on your head rather than your nose. The rhythms of the performance are tailor-made for a room like ours: close, warm, and attentive, where the comedian can riff, smile, and adapt to the crowd’s energy in real time. Expect a multi-generational audience—seasoned Lyonnais, curious thirty-somethings, and couples out to reclaim date night—because laughter about love, vanity, and reinvention has no age limit here at Espace Gerson.

From our vantage point as a venue, the artist behind Comment draguer après 50 ans is in a dynamic creative moment, sharpening new angles week after week and testing fresh punchlines with the rigor of a chef perfecting a signature dish. What excites us is the balance between sharply observed social detail and genuine tenderness: the material never looks down on its subjects; it lifts them up, mid-stumble, with empathy. In recent sets at Espace Gerson, the comedian has introduced memorable bits and mini-sketches that have quickly become audience favorites, including Le profil sans filtre, Speed-dating des quinquas, Le coach sentimental, and Le dîner avec les ados. These titles say it all: a swirl of modern romance, family negotiation, and the sly comedy of experience. The artist’s current momentum—new clips circulating online, word-of-mouth returns from previous Lyon dates, and a steady cadence of refined material—makes this run particularly vibrant. We feel that crackle onstage when a performer knows they’re writing the next chapter, right in front of you.

An evening built for Lyon: timing, truth, and playful improvisation

Comment draguer après 50 ans at Espace Gerson is structured like a friendly duel between past and present: mixtapes traded for playlists, handwritten declarations swapped for emojis, and self-confidence measured not in abs but in self-deprecating timing. The artist uses the room’s intimacy to open gentle, improvised dialogues with the front rows, weaving Lyon-flavored asides into the fabric of the set without ever losing the throughline of the show. That allows the sketches—Le groupe WhatsApp de la famille, Le check-up annuel, and Le tango des genoux—to bloom with local color while keeping the narrative cohesive for every seat in the house. Our stage team favors clean, unfussy lighting that supports quick transitions: one minute we’re in a pharmacy aisle negotiating reading glasses; the next we’re at a terrasse near the Saône, where a glance says more than a dating profile. What makes this performance special, from our perspective, is how the laughter lingers: people step out under the old stones of Vieux Lyon not only quoting punchlines but also swapping stories about their own first messages, misfired invites, and small victories. And that, for us at Espace Gerson, is the signature of a great night—when comedy keeps the conversation going long after the curtain call.
