Daniel Morin - En Rodage ( Tournée )

Daniel Morin brings En Rodage to Espace Gerson

We at Espace Gerson are delighted to welcome Daniel Morin for En Rodage, a work-in-progress rendezvous perfectly suited to our intimate Lyon stage. Nights like this are why our room exists: to let an artist test-drive new ideas in front of a live, curious audience who relish the thrill of discovery. In En Rodage, the jokes are still warm from the forge, the characters appear and mutate on the spot, and the silences are as revealing as the punchlines. Daniel’s stage temperament—quick, incisive, and gleefully irreverent—fits our space, where proximity amplifies every eyebrow raise, every mock outrage, every sideways detour into absurdity. We want spectators to feel the electricity of material being born right here, between the stone walls and the first rows, with our technical team keeping the lighting and sound nimble so he can shift from biting social satire to playful crowd work without missing a beat. Expect a fluid set, sharp improvisations, and that special complicity between performer and room that only a rodage night can deliver in Lyon.

From France Inter to our stage: the living pulse of his new hour

Part of the excitement for us is hosting Daniel Morin at a moment when his artistic life is running hot. Listeners know him from France Inter’s La Bande Originale, where La drôle d’humeur de Daniel Morin has become a daily radar for topical nonsense and cultural excess. Those on-air sketches, darting between political peccadillos and pop-cultural fads, are the fresh seeds he brings to En Rodage. We hear the way he tilts an anecdote until the truth drops out; we see how a line that sliced through lunchtime radio might now expand into a fully fledged scene with characters, reversals, and a kicker honed by audience feedback. Our stage is where his recent radio riffs can stretch their legs: the skewering of buzzword-heavy public discourse, the affectionate mockery of everyday neuroses, and the gleam of mischief that surfaces when he toys with expectations. For us as a venue, that evolution is the show inside the show—watching a familiar voice reinvent his cadence, fold in new angles, and find the exact musicality of a routine until laughter arrives with clockwork precision.

En Rodage at Espace Gerson is designed to keep the night alive and alert—no safety rails, no autopilot. We love the way Daniel works a room: he listens as much as he speaks, letting a murmur become a callback, turning a spontaneous audience reaction into a miniature sketch, and threading it back into the next bit as if it had always been planned. In a club setting like ours, timing and intimacy make the difference, and our team will shape the acoustics and lights so that a whisper can land as cleanly as a roar. This is also the kind of evening that rewards returning spectators: material will evolve across dates on this tournée, surprises will appear, and what debuts in Lyon may later anchor the finished special. If you follow his radio presence on La Bande Originale and the daily jolts of La drôle d’humeur de Daniel Morin, this is your chance to meet that energy off the airwaves—closer, looser, and more daring. We’re ready to dim the lights, raise the curtain, and let the night do what it does best: transform raw ideas into laughter, right here at Espace Gerson.
