Greg Duth - Coquilles

Greg Duth brings Coquilles to PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT

We are delighted to welcome Greg Duth and his new show, Coquilles, to the historic stage of PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT. From our vantage point, this is precisely the kind of contemporary stand-up that our audience loves: sharp, agile, and rooted in everyday life. In Coquilles, Greg explores the hilarious minefield of modern communication—typos, autocorrect mishaps, and digital misunderstandings—while constantly bouncing off the room’s energy. Our hall’s warm acoustics and generous sightlines are a perfect match for his quickfire pace and meticulous diction, allowing every punchline and callback to land cleanly. Expect an evening where language quirks become high comedy, mundane office rituals turn theatrical, and the small mistakes that haunt our screens blossom into big shared laughter. We’ve prepared the room configuration to emphasize intimacy, ensuring that even in a full house, Greg’s precise delivery and spontaneous asides feel immediate, conversational, and irresistibly personal.

Momentum, material, and the live experience

Greg arrives with genuine momentum: a wave of new writing for the stage and a parallel flow of short-form comedy online that’s amassed loyal followers who trade his most quotable moments. In the run-up to Coquilles, fans have been sharing compact bits often labeled “Apocalypse Autocorrect,” “La Police de la Grammaire,” “Reply All,” and “La Réunion qui aurait pu être un email,” which capture his talent for turning linguistic slips and office culture into precision-engineered laughs. On our side, we’ve tailored the technical package—tight spotlighting, crisp vocal reinforcement, and flexible room dynamics—so that the rhythm of his wordplay stays front and center, whether he’s dissecting a catastrophic email thread or riffing with the front rows. PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT thrives on this blend of contemporary humor and classic theatre ambiance: you’ll feel the hush before a punchline, the ripple of recognition across the audience, and the rolling laughter as a single “coquille” spirals into comic chaos.

Coquilles is a live masterclass in how tiny errors can reveal the big picture of who we are—at work, with friends, on our phones at midnight trying to correct a message that keeps getting worse. Greg navigates that terrain with the assurance of a writer-performer who loves structure but leaves room for accident and surprise. Within our hall, the beats of his storytelling—those miniature narratives about shared drives, messaging apps, and the dreaded “send” button—take on a theatrical dimension. You can expect elastic pacing that alternates between elegant setup, whirlwind escalation, and sudden silence, punctuated by callbacks that tie the night together. We’ve leaned into the clarity of his delivery by keeping the staging minimal and the sound mix close to the grain of his voice, a choice that highlights the musicality of his phrasing and the precision of his tags. If your day-to-day life is a tangle of emails, notifications, and well-meaning corrections, Coquilles will feel like the comedy you didn’t know you needed—right here, live, at PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT.
