Jim revient at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we love nothing more than watching a comic take a room from a quiet hush to rolling laughter, and that is exactly why we are welcoming Jim with his new set, Jim revient. Our intimate stage, the low ceiling, and the closely packed rows give comedians the freedom to be nimble, to improvise, and to connect directly with every face in the house. Over recent months, Jim has been sharpening a fresh hour that leans into razor‑edged observation and fast, conversational crowd work, with bits that have resonated online and in small rooms across France. Fans following his latest digital drops will recognize the tone—and maybe a few easter eggs—from sketches like Le voisin bruyant, Retard SNCF, and Livraison qui n’arrive jamais, while he also brings brand‑new material tailored to the energy of Lyon’s night crowd. We’ve programmed Jim revient precisely because this room rewards bravery: he thrives on the micro-reactions, the quick sidesteps, and the spontaneous callbacks that only a venue like ours can inspire.

From the moment Jim steps under our warm wash of lights, the room becomes a living partner in the show. Jim revient is designed as a kinetic, ever-evolving hour: a tight spine of written material that breathes, flexes, and occasionally jolts in the best possible way when he riffs with the audience. Expect his trademark pace—punchy, animated, and physical—threaded through stories of everyday absurdities. He has been road‑testing sequences that already have fan traction in recent web sketches such as Le coloc qui exagère, Rendez-vous chez le dentiste, and Mode avion, and he’s been teasing a run of quick-hit “capsules” built around mini-situations like Café trop serré and Notifications à 3h du matin. On our stage, those pieces turn into live, high-wire moments: he’ll spin a line from a front-row reaction into a freshly minted tag, then bounce back to the core bit without missing a beat. If you’ve seen him online, you’ll feel the same comedic DNA—but in our room, the jokes take on a pulse you can hear and a rhythm you can feel.

Artist news and what awaits you in the room

Jim revient arrives at Le Boui-Boui during an especially fertile period for Jim’s creativity. He has been releasing a steady stream of short-form videos, piloting new concepts that may evolve into a longer special, and experimenting with character-driven scenes that push his range. Recent online “mini‑shows” like Pause café, Plan B, and Micro-trottoir (Version Lyon) have shown how deftly he captures a situation in three lines, while longer narrative sketches like Le dossier perdu and Wi‑Fi en rade demonstrate his knack for escalation and payoff. At our venue, that momentum translates into a concentrated hour where timing is king: the crisp punch of our sound design, the immediacy of the front row, and the wraparound laughter that ricochets off our walls all become part of the timing Jim plays with. Come ready for call‑backs that stitch the night together, for new chunks he’s eager to baptize in Lyon, and for a few fan requests from bits like Appels en attente and Menus du jour—reimagined live, with the spontaneity that keeps each performance unique at Le Boui-Boui.
