Hugo Pêcheur - Clochette - Tournée

Espace Gerson presents Hugo Pecheur — Clochette

At Espace Gerson, we are delighted to welcome Hugo Pecheur with his new tour stop for Clochette, a fresh hour of comedy designed for an intimate room like ours. Our stage thrives on sharp writing, nimble timing, and direct connection with the audience, and Hugo’s style is built for exactly that: quicksilver observations, mischievous detours, and a playful sense of rhythm that keeps the room leaning in. In Clochette, he taps into the everyday triggers that make a crowd collectively nod in recognition before he flips the perspective—phones buzzing at the worst possible moment, the social choreography of small talk, the way a single sound can set off a chain of absurd consequences. Expect a show that is tightly constructed yet spontaneous in the moment, shaped by his time honing material in clubs and small theaters, and calibrated to the singular intimacy that defines a night at Espace Gerson in Lyon.

On the road with Clochette: the moment for Hugo Pecheur

Hugo Pecheur arrives at Espace Gerson with momentum, bringing a set that captures his current artistic phase: nimble, contemporary, and rooted in precise storytelling. Clochette is the spine of this period, gathering the best of his recent writing into a flowing narrative punctuated by vivid, bite-size bits. Fans who have followed his development will recognize the laser-focused slice-of-life angle in sketches like “Mode avion,” “Le micro-ondes au bureau,” and “Plan canap’,” where he dissects everyday micro-dramas with a mix of warmth and cheek. He has been refining new sequences such as “Notifications,” “La file d’attente,” and “Le pote qui déménage,” each playing with sound cues, silence, and pace to amplify punchlines. On stage, Hugo toggles between conversational ease and rapid-fire bursts, turning mundane triggers into comedy set pieces while looping back to the thematic bell of Clochette—how tiny signals govern our routines, relationships, and unguarded reactions. It’s a show built for the present moment, with a comic voice that favors precision over bluster.

For our room at Espace Gerson, Clochette promises a vivid live experience: clear sightlines, an intimate distance between performer and audience, and the kind of acoustics that reward carefully timed pauses and quick callbacks. Hugo Pecheur plays with these elements, letting a glance or a small sound land across the rows before lifting the pace into a cascade of tags. His crowd work is light-touch—enough to keep the night specific to Lyon and this room, never losing the thread of the written material. The structure evolves through playful chapters, moving from the inner life of our devices to the quirks of neighbors and office rituals, then folding those themes back into a finale that ties the bell-like motif of Clochette to personal memory and everyday absurdity. We cherish shows like this at Espace Gerson: live, present-tense, and best experienced together, where a whisper, a ding, or a well-placed silence can turn into the biggest laugh of the night.
