Fanny Ruwet - On Disait Qu'on Faisait La Fête - Tournée

Fanny Ruwet at Le Briscope

At Le Briscope, we relish the kind of intimate, attentive listening that only stand-up can create, and few voices fit our stage better than Fanny Ruwet with her new tour stop for On disait qu’on faisait la fête. From our vantage point as a venue, her understated delivery and razor-dry timing thrive in a room built for precision: clean sightlines, warm acoustics, and an audience close enough to catch the micro-shifts that power her punchlines. We prepare the space to echo her style—minimalist and focused—so that what matters most is the words, the pauses, and the sudden turns from tenderness to sting. Expect the themes that have made her so resonant with contemporary audiences: modern affection and its awkward codes, the bureaucracy of feelings, anxious minds trying to be brave, and the comedic poetry of everyday failures. We have seen that when the lights dip and Fanny steps into the cone of white, the room leans in as one—precisely the collective attention a space like Le Briscope is designed to host.

Artistic momentum and recent appearances

Part of the pleasure of welcoming this date of the Tournée is witnessing an artist in full momentum. In recent seasons, Fanny Ruwet’s voice has traveled widely across stages and airwaves: listeners continue to follow her podcast Les Gens qui doutent for long-form conversations about craft and doubt, while radio fans know her for incisive appearances on France Inter’s La Bande Originale, where her humor sharpened into compact, memorable capsules. Her clips from the Montreux Comedy Festival have circulated broadly online, introducing new audiences to a sensibility that marries confession with a sly sense of the absurd. That public trajectory meets the privacy of stand-up in On disait qu’on faisait la fête, a show that seems to pull you into a living room where the jokes end up larger than life. From our perspective backstage, what stands out is the sense of rhythm: the way she lets a silence bloom, punctures it with a line, and watches the room ripple. It’s an equilibrium between vulnerability and control that suits our stage—clear, unadorned, and built to magnify detail.

Our team at Le Briscope has tailored the evening to let that detail sing. The sound design favors clarity over volume; the lighting is set to breathe with the pacing, transitioning from tight focus to softer washes as the narrative arcs expand. The audience configuration keeps the comic-to-crowd distance intimate, so that even the smallest shrug lands like a line reading. If you have discovered Fanny through Les Gens qui doutent, if you first encountered her turns of phrase on La Bande Originale, or if a late-night scroll led you to a Montreux Comedy set and you stayed for the tone, this date of the Tournée is the place to feel that sensibility in the present tense. From our seats in the wings, the joy is watching recognition spread row by row: a communal laugh at a universal awkwardness, a gasp at a confession that feels like your own, and the rare hush that means a joke hasn’t just worked—it has resonated. That is why we are proud to host On disait qu’on faisait la fête at Le Briscope: because the room itself gets to be part of the story.
