Daniel Morin - En Rodage ( Tournée )

Daniel Morin – En rodage at Salle Victor Hugo

At Salle Victor Hugo, we are delighted to host the razor-sharp wit and mischievous energy of Daniel Morin for En rodage, a work-in-progress encounter that puts audiences at the heart of the creative process. Our room is built for encounters like this: intimate enough to catch a raised eyebrow or a sotto voce aside, yet spacious and technically tuned to carry every punchline with clarity. From our vantage point backstage and in the booths, we love seeing a comedian “ride” a fresh idea, shape it in real time, and test where the collective laugh breathes. En rodage is that moment before a set becomes canon, when topical jabs, personal anecdotes, and off-the-cuff riffs collide. Expect quick pivots, audience asides, and the pleasure of hearing material born in the room. In Lyon, our audiences are famously responsive; the tempo they set often becomes part of the show. We’re ready to frame that alchemy with warm lights, crisp sound, and sightlines designed to catch every gesture that makes Morin’s stage presence so memorable.

Recent highlights and media presence

Part of what excites us about this date is Daniel Morin’s ongoing life in the public ear. His satirical billets and needling interviews on France Inter have honed a voice that’s both playful and merciless, and we’re seeing that edge sharpen week after week. Listeners know him from La Bande originale, where his segments oscillate between dry mockery and disarming candor, and he’s also been heard in C’est encore nous !, bringing that same acid-dipped curiosity to the day’s obsessions. Onstage, that media reflex translates into agile timing: he can pivot from a headline to a deeply human detail without losing the laugh, and he isn’t afraid to let a new bit breathe. In En rodage, those instincts are front and center. The set draws on the best of his radio persona—rapid-fire comebacks, faux-naïf questions, a love of the absurd—while opening the door to longer arcs he can’t fully unfurl on air. As a venue, we relish hosting comedy in that volatile, inventive phase, when a premise about politics or pop culture can mutate into a confession, a character, or a running gag that only tonight’s audience will hear in its first, freshest form.

Welcoming this date as part of his tournée, we’ve shaped the evening to highlight Morin’s conversational rhythm: a stage layout that invites proximity, an acoustic profile that favors voice nuance over bombast, and a room flow that keeps the focus where it belongs—on the interplay between artist and audience. We know the pleasure of a set that feels like it’s being discovered with you; our team will preserve that intimacy while ensuring the pace never stumbles. Expect material that pokes at daily hypocrisies, flips clichés on their heads, and occasionally asks the room to take a deliciously uncomfortable step further than expected. And expect spontaneity: a work-in-progress thrives on detours, whether sparked by a glance in the front row or by a news item that broke an hour before curtain. At Salle Victor Hugo, we’ve watched countless shows find their true shape in nights like this. It’s where a line meets its timing, where a character earns a name, and where a throwaway aside becomes the bit everyone repeats on the way out. That’s the pleasure of En rodage—and the reason we’re so proud to host Daniel Morin here in Lyon.
