Le Boui-Boui welcomes Anthony Bechtatou with Faites du bruit

At Le Boui-Boui, we relish nights when the room becomes a living instrument—every chuckle a cymbal, every gasp a snare—and that is exactly the energy Anthony Bechtatou brings with Faites du bruit. From the first beat, his stand‑up thrives on quickfire observation, nimble crowd work, and a playful obsession with the sounds and signals of everyday life. He bounces between razor‑sharp riffs and off‑the‑cuff exchanges, sculpting a set where silence is a setup and laughter is the drop. As an artist, Anthony’s current momentum is palpable: new clips circulating on social platforms, fresh minutes crafted in clubs across France, and a pace that feels tuned to the present moment. Without translating a thing, he lets the cadence of the city and the hush of a pause do the talking, folding in cultural touchstones and nods to recent shows like LOL: Qui rit, sort! and Hot Ones – France as raw material rather than reference points. In our intimate Lyon home, that alchemy truly sings.

The live experience, up close, at Le Boui-Boui

Faites du bruit is built for rooms like ours. Le Boui-Boui’s close quarters amplify every nuance—an eyebrow, a grin, the micro‑gestures that can turn an aside into a headline laugh. Anthony navigates that intimacy with the assurance of a comic who loves the front row as much as the punchline. Expect elastic pacing, bits that expand or snap tight depending on the crowd’s pulse, and a generous dose of improvisation that makes each performance distinct. Recent bits in rotation have centered on the glorious chaos of apartment living, the etiquette of headphone diplomacy on public transport, and the paradox of wanting peace in a world addicted to alerts—material sharpened in late‑night club slots and festival warm‑ups. You may hear him weave in the day’s noise—a trending reel, a viral challenge, a headline from Quotidien—as he nudges the room into becoming a chorus. This is stand‑up that breathes with its audience, and at Le Boui-Boui, you’re close enough to hear it inhale.

Anthony Bechtatou’s artistic present feels like a sprint with a drummer’s timing: he’s stacking short, shareable stage moments alongside longer arcs that reveal a storyteller’s patience. Fans have been discovering new on‑stage stories and compact, crowd‑work gems that travel fast online, while he keeps the core of Faites du bruit evolving night after night. For comedy followers, you’ll recognize how he mines the same everyday frictions satirized across recent French comedy spaces, even as he keeps the perspective purely his—riffing on the social performance of politeness, the awkward bravado of small talk, and the uncanny theater of voice notes. We’ve loved watching him fold media chatter into the set—not as name‑drops but as moving parts—whether he’s reacting to a meme born yesterday or re‑engineering a TV moment from C à vous or Zen into a punchline with fresh bite. At Le Boui-Boui, we’re hosting a comic in motion: taut writing, loose wrists, and a show designed to make, and play with, the very noise its title demands—live, immediate, and unmistakably here.
