Heloise Pia at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut

We are delighted to welcome Heloise Pia to the intimate upstairs setting of Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, a room built for the kind of sharp, human, high-velocity comedy she has been polishing across recent months. From our vantage point as hosts and curators, what stands out is the clarity of her voice: a modern storyteller who writes with precision and performs with an effortless conversational rhythm. She threads personal history, city life, and digital-age absurdities into a set that feels at once spontaneous and meticulously engineered. Audiences in our room respond to her timing—the pauses that land like punchlines, the quick pivots that pull a deeper truth from a laugh. As she refines her new hour, we have seen Heloise Pia bring in fresh pages and test them live, turning workshop energy into a fully-formed narrative. On recent nights here, she has tried out incisive pieces she’s nicknamed Night Bus to Croix-Rousse and Check, Please, both of which reveal her knack for transforming small daily frictions into stories that travel the room with a ripple of recognition.

A show shaped for our room

Le Complexe - Salle du Haut is an upstairs hideaway with tight sightlines, warm lighting, and a stage close enough for the comedian to catch every raised eyebrow—conditions that suit Heloise Pia’s style perfectly. Our technical team has tuned the sound and lighting to accentuate her nimble shifts between confessional storytelling and quick-hit observational beats. Expect a set that moves from family folklore to romance detours, from the slow-burn chaos of shared apartments to the pinging interruptions of the apps that rule our days. In recent tryouts on our stage, Heloise Pia has leaned into sequences she refers to as Push Notification Panic and Family Group Chat Chronicles, balancing finely crafted jokes with moments of playful audience weave-ins. She is particularly strong at building momentum: a callback lands three stories later, a throwaway line blossoms into a full routine, and suddenly the hour has an architecture you can feel even before you see it. That alchemy—disarming honesty lifted by technical control—makes her a natural fit for the intimate scale of our upstairs room.

From our booking desk to the footlights, this engagement is framed to showcase where Heloise Pia is artistically right now: in motion, ambitious, and focused on a live experience that rewards close listening. She brings topical reflexes without leaning on headlines; the now is filtered through her own lens, which is why routines like Micro-Traumas and Laundry Day Olympics resonate beyond a single night. We’re setting the space to encourage that connection: doors open early so audiences can settle, the pacing throughout the evening is tailored to her arc, and our team remains on hand to keep the rhythm crisp and the atmosphere relaxed. If you are discovering Heloise Pia for the first time, this is a chance to encounter a voice becoming itself in real time; if you have followed her recent appearances across Lyon’s stages, you’ll find new layers as she threads the best of those pieces into a cohesive, generous hour. At Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, we aim to present artists where they shine brightest, and Heloise Pia’s current show has been built, beat by beat, to thrive in this room.
