Félix Junier - Ça Marche - Le Complexe, Lyon

Félix Junier – Ça marche at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas

We are delighted to welcome Félix Junier and his razor‑sharp stand‑up hour, Ça marche, to the intimate setting of Le Complexe - Salle du Bas. Our downstairs room is built for connection: close, convivial seating, a stage that puts you within a breath of the performer, and an atmosphere where one well‑timed pause can ripple into a roar of laughter. That proximity is exactly what fuels this show. Félix thrives on the energy of a room, shifting seamlessly from quick observational jabs to longer storytelling arcs that sneak up on you with a twist. In Ça marche, he zeroes in on the tiny misfires of everyday life—the messages we don’t send, the plans that unravel, the social rituals we perform without noticing—and turns them into playful, precise set pieces. Expect a pace that dances between physical punctuation and deft wordplay, audience exchanges handled with warmth, and the kind of comic timing that makes the most ordinary detail sparkle under the lights of our Salle du Bas.

About the artist’s current momentum

Félix Junier arrives in Lyon riding a wave of fresh material and renewed creative verve, and Ça marche crystallizes that moment. The set threads together brand‑new vignettes with playful titles like “Mode Avion,” “Rattraper le bus,” “Le frigo de la coloc,” and “Plan B,” each sketch exploring modern rituals—phone etiquette, public transport near‑misses, communal living compromises, and the art of improvising when plans fall apart. What makes these pieces sing in our room is Félix’s command of rhythm: he’ll lay out a simple premise, let the audience fill the silence with their own recognition, then flip the angle with a sly tag that lands twice as hard. Recent short clips of his club work have highlighted that blend of precision and looseness—tight writing that still leaves space for the unexpected—so Ça marche feels both polished and alive. He plays with status (the confident voice cracking at the wrong moment), with language (micro‑neologisms that stick), and with the kind of call‑backs that knit the hour into a satisfying whole. In other words, it’s a show built to bloom in a room like ours, where every chuckle, gasp, and grin feeds the next beat.

From our vantage point at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, this date is designed as a full‑bodied live experience. The size of the room amplifies laughter and heightens timing, letting Félix ride waves of reaction with surgical control—he can whisper a punchline and still have it reach the back row. Our team calibrates sound and sightlines so that every inflection and gesture lands cleanly, and that attentive setup gives Félix the freedom to stretch: playful crowd moments, nimble improvisations, and those sudden pivots where he drops a perfectly personal detail that reframes a whole bit. If you’ve followed him, you’ll enjoy hearing how “Mode Avion,” “Rattraper le bus,” “Le frigo de la coloc,” and “Plan B” evolve in the room; if you’re discovering him here, know that Ça marche is an ideal introduction to his voice—curious, quick, and disarmingly precise. Come ready for a lively, close‑up encounter with stand‑up that values craft without losing spontaneity; in our downstairs space, no two nights feel exactly the same, and that electric unpredictability is part of the promise we love hosting.
