Elisabeth Buffet - Mes Histoires De Coeur - Tournée

Espace Gerson welcomes Elisabeth Buffet: Mes histoires de coeur

At Espace Gerson, we love artists who turn everyday truth into shared laughter, and Elisabeth Buffet does exactly that. We are delighted to host her with Mes histoires de coeur, a show that speaks frankly and hilariously about attraction, long-term attachment, breakups, second chances, and the small catastrophes that come with loving bravely at any age. Our intimate room in Lyon is made for this kind of confession-driven stand-up: the stage is close, the timing is tight, and the audience becomes an accomplice to every aside, eyebrow raise, and perfectly timed punchline. Expect her trademark blend of candor and elegance—wry, physical, and unafraid to dive into the deep end. In the warm acoustics of Espace Gerson, the nuances of her delivery land with precision, letting each laugh ripple and build. We prepare the evening like a rendezvous: lights focused, seats aligned, and a team ready to usher you into a no-filter, all-heart encounter.

Current spotlight and the tour’s spirit

Mes histoires de coeur arrives on the heels of Elisabeth Buffet’s continued presence on France’s comedy circuit and follows the sharp success of Obsolescence programmée, a previous one-woman show that cemented her status as a fearless stylist of observational humor. Today, her voice resonates across live stages and media conversations alike; audiences may recognize her cutting, playful tone from popular French comedy and talk formats such as Les Grosses Têtes and the stand-up ecosystem carried by Rire & Chansons. What makes this new tour special is how it refines her signature—direct, tender, mischievous—into an hour where the romantic battlefield becomes a playground for wit. She moves from courtship rituals to digital-age flirting, from the comedy of cohabitation to the delicate art of self-reinvention, sculpting each story with a veteran’s sense of rhythm. Her turn of phrase is deliciously visual; even a fleeting verb or a tossed-off adjective can pull the room into roaring recognition. In Mes histoires de coeur, Elisabeth Buffet gives the audience both a mirror and a permission slip to laugh at the chaos that makes us human.

Hosting this tour date at Espace Gerson means crafting an experience tailored to every beat of the performance. Our layout favors connection: even in the back rows, you feel the micro-expressions that power a Buffet punchline, the shrug that undercuts a boast, the conspiratorial glance that makes the room feel like a private club. Before showtime, our team tunes the stage to the performer’s pace—sound balanced for crisp diction and the kinetic moments that spark collective giggles. During the set, you’ll discover how Elisabeth Buffet builds sequences with the intimacy of a confidante and the bite of a seasoned satirist; she lets awkward encounters blossom into stories, then carves those stories down to diamond-point jokes. In Lyon’s vibrant nightlife, Espace Gerson has long been a home for comics who thrive on proximity, and Mes histoires de coeur is a perfect match for that DNA. Join us, settle in, and let Elisabeth Buffet guide you through a hilarious map of our tender contradictions—drawn with the steady hand of an artist at the top of her game.
