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

Jojo Bernard at Espace Gerson with Tout le monde il est beauf

At Espace Gerson in Lyon, we are thrilled to welcome Jojo Bernard for the local stop of his tournée with the show Tout le monde il est beauf. Our intimate room is built for comedy: close-up sightlines, crisp acoustics, and a stage designed to magnify the smallest smirk and the quickest aside. This is exactly the kind of environment where Jojo’s razor-edged character work thrives. Expect a night that leans into the energy of the crowd, where his timing benefits from the immediacy of our space and the rhythm of our city. The spine of this new hour is a gleefully unapologetic excavation of everyday “beauf” reflexes—those brash shortcuts, stubborn certainties, and guilty pleasures we recognize in others and sometimes in ourselves. With Espace Gerson’s theatrical focus on clarity and cadence, you’ll feel the beats of his act land with surgical precision, from the opening volley to the late-show detours that always seem to hatch spontaneously here.

Current momentum and recent bits fueling the tournée

Jojo Bernard arrives at Espace Gerson with momentum that has been building across stages and screens. Over the past seasons, he has sharpened a tighter, faster hour by test-driving fresh ideas in clubs before unleashing them on tour. Fans have been gravitating to recent bits like Le Foot, L’Entretien d’embauche, Le Camping, and Le Permis—capsules of modern bravado and everyday panic that he now retools live with new angles, callbacks, and deliciously awkward pauses. In Tout le monde il est beauf, those crowd-favorite textures resurface in fuller form: the puffed-up swagger that wilts under pressure, the half-baked expertise delivered with ironclad confidence, and the sudden eruptions of sincerity that flip the room without warning. From our vantage point as host venue, what excites us most is how this material interacts with Lyon’s sensibility: Jojo’s quick pivots invite real-time exchanges, and our stage’s proximity lets him catch the micro-reactions he loves to volley back into the set. The result is a living, breathing hour that evolves with each audience, each neighborhood, each night.

Presenting this show at Espace Gerson also means leaning into craft. We tune lights and sound so that his character work can flex—from understated shrugs to full-on blowups—without losing definition. Jojo’s use of silence and side-eye is a weapon, and our room lets those quiet beats ring as loudly as any punchline. The pacing of Tout le monde il est beauf is built for the ebb and flow of our audience: bursts of rapid-fire riffing, slower observational stretches that smuggle in sharp social reading, and interactive pockets where he calibrates his beauf lens to Lyon’s own habits. If you’ve followed his recent sketches—Le Foot for its joyous sports bluster, L’Entretien d’embauche for its fragile bravado, Le Camping for its sunburnt chaos, Le Permis for its escalating incompetence—you’ll recognize the DNA here, but you’ll also find left turns, new stories, and local winks that only happen in this room. Our stage is ready, our lights are set, and the city’s sense of humor is primed to meet a show that revels in the messy, hilarious ordinariness of us all.
