Festival Humour Villeurvanne Ed 7

Festival Humour Villeurbanne - Éd. 7 at Centre culturel et de la vie associative (CCVA)

At Centre culturel et de la vie associative (CCVA), we are delighted to welcome Festival Humour Villeurbanne - Éd. 7 to our stage, a highlight of the season that channels the vibrant energy of French stand-up and sketch into an evening shaped for our audiences in Villeurbanne. Our hall is built for clarity and connection: crisp sightlines, intimate proximity between performers and the crowd, and a technical setup that treats every punchline with the attention it deserves. This seventh edition celebrates the living pulse of contemporary comedy—new voices alongside seasoned acts—crafted into a dynamic program designed to surprise, provoke, and above all make the room ring with laughter. In our foyer and throughout the CCVA, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the perfect backdrop for shared discoveries, post-show conversations, and the spontaneous spark that live comedy thrives on.

On our stage: the artists’ current moment and what you’ll experience

Festival Humour Villeurbanne - Éd. 7 unfolds at CCVA as a snapshot of the national comedy moment, bringing together talents whose repertoires reflect everything audiences have been buzzing about lately. Across France, comics are refining fresh hours and sharpened ten-minute hitters, with the culture shaped by stages and broadcasts such as Jamel Comedy Club, Montreux Comedy, Le Marrakech du Rire, Paname Comedy Club, Quotidien, and France Inter’s La Bande Originale—platforms where today’s timing, subjects, and styles are constantly evolving. Expect that sensibility to be present here: witty observational sets about commuting and digital life, playful takes on family and identity, sharp social satire handled with a light touch, and the kind of crowd work that turns each seat at CCVA into part of the story. Some performers lean into character work and sketch; others favor pure stand-up minimalism; all of them meet in the shared craft of building a room, beat by beat, laugh by laugh.

From our perspective at Centre culturel et de la vie associative (CCVA), this edition is about giving that craft the best possible frame. We host a fluid, fast-moving show flow guided by an adept master of ceremonies, with transitions designed so momentum never dips and every act receives the focused attention it merits. The technical team tailors lighting for facial expression and body language—a must for physical comedians—and keeps the sound close and clean for rapid-fire wordplay. In the room, our configuration allows you to feel the rhythm of the night: the quiet before a setup, the shared intake of breath, the wave of laughter cresting from front row to balcony. The program favors variety, so you might hear a meticulous narrative bit next to an improvised exchange, then a punchy five-minute run of jokes engineered for velocity. And because we are rooted in Villeurbanne, you can expect knowing nods to local life, Lyonnais turns of phrase, and that special complicity between performers and audience that only happens when comedy lands on home ground. Whether you follow the scene through Jamel Comedy Club or Montreux Comedy, discovered voices on Paname Comedy Club, or caught humorous chronicles on La Bande Originale or segments in Quotidien, Festival Humour Villeurbanne - Éd. 7 at CCVA gathers that living, current conversation into one room and one night, and invites you to be part of it from the first applause to the final encore.
