Jojo Bernard - Tout Le Monde Il Est Beauf ( Tournée )

Jojo Bernard at Espace Gerson

At Espace Gerson, we love it when a live show turns the room into a buzzing neighborhood bar where everyone knows the punchline is coming and still laughs even harder when it lands. That’s precisely why we’re thrilled to welcome Jojo Bernard with Tout le monde il est beauf on his Tournée. Our intimate Lyon stage is purpose-built for comedy that thrives on proximity: quick-fire asides, unfiltered banter, and the kind of audience reactions you can feel ripple through the seats. Jojo’s onstage energy—boisterous, swaggering, gloriously self-aware—meets the Gerson ambiance in a way that magnifies every moment, from the sly throwaway line to the audacious set piece. In our house, facial expressions and micro-pauses are part of the show; Jojo’s mischievous glances and mock bravado pop at a few meters’ distance. Expect a high-contact evening where the artist’s unvarnished portrait of the everyday “beauf” turns into a gleeful mirror for us all, and where Lyon’s night owls get the rowdy, generous burst of laughter they came for.

Artistic momentum and what to expect on the night

Part of the thrill of hosting this date is seeing how Jojo Bernard’s current creative momentum translates to the stage. Fans who follow his recent online drops will recognize the bite and rhythm of sketches with titles that circulate widely on socials—bits like “Le Foot du dimanche,” “Le Permis,” “Jojo au Camping,” and “Le Coach”—where bravado meets self-mockery and reality TV swagger collides with the beautiful chaos of family and friends. That same comic grammar powers Tout le monde il est beauf, but the live version adds the electricity of crowd interaction: the mock pep talks, the chest-out boasts that crash into real-life awkwardness, and the off-the-cuff riffs that only happen when a performer locks eyes with the front row. As a venue, we’ve tuned lights and sound to catch the precision of Jojo’s cadences—the sudden shifts from confessional to taunt, the deadpan silences, the triumphant “I told you so” that detonates into laughter. The Espace Gerson layout keeps the punchlines crisp and the room conspiratorial, perfect for a show that toys with our instincts, our clichés, and our pride.

Onstage at Espace Gerson, Tout le monde il est beauf becomes a guided tour of everyday heroics gone hilariously sideways: the weekend warrior who takes five-a-side football personally, the self-proclaimed gourmet whose barbecue technique is ninety percent smoke, the dance-floor emperor whose empire lasts exactly one chorus, the gym convert who mistakes supplements for superpowers. Jojo stitches these archetypes together with running gags that feel both new and instantly familiar, building a comic map of habits and hang-ups we’re all guilty of, no matter how loudly we deny it. You’ll hear the swagger of a man who “knows a guy,” the bravura of a party raconteur who swears he remembers everything, and the sudden tenderness that sneaks in when the bluster drops for half a beat. Our team leans into that elasticity: tight cues, zero dead angles, and a warm pre-show welcome that sets the tone for an evening of uninhibited laughter. In the hands of an artist who relishes direct contact, and in a room designed for it, Jojo Bernard’s Tournée stop becomes more than a set—it’s a communal wink at ourselves, Lyon included, delivered with the joyous exaggeration only live comedy can provide.
