Julie Conti En Rodage - Espcace Gerson, Lyon

Julie Conti en rodage at Espace Gerson

From our intimate stage at Espace Gerson, we are delighted to welcome Julie Conti en rodage, a live workshop where punchlines are forged in the heat of the room and every beat is tuned to the heartbeat of Lyon’s audience. Our brick-and-velvet setting has long been a playground for bold voices, and Julie’s quick wit, precise timing, and magnetic presence make her a perfect fit for the close-up, no-filter vibe that our spectators love. Expect a night where laughter and listening are in constant dialogue: she tries, she pivots, she doubles down, and we, as a venue, give her the acoustics, sightlines, and warmth that let all those micro-adjustments land. This is the kind of evening that reminds you why “en rodage” matters—because good comedy isn’t just written, it is calibrated live, with the energy of a packed room, the ripple of surprise, and the delicious silence that precedes a roaring laugh.

What Julie Conti is crafting right now

Artistically, Julie Conti is in a moment of pure momentum: sharpening a new long set that braids everyday absurdities with razor-clean observations, and building it piece by piece in front of real people. At Espace Gerson, she is shaping segments that already have audiences buzzing—recurring bits like “C’est pas moi, c’est l’algorithme,” where she dissects how recommendation engines seem to know her better than her friends; “Le Plan Galère,” a fast-paced misadventure narrative with unstoppable callbacks; and “Check-out à 11h,” a hotel tale that spirals from a late breakfast into an existential inventory. Her social snapshots of modern life hit especially close to home when she dives into “Matcha ou Pastis,” a portrait of lifestyle contradictions, and “Table de 8,” her observational ode to group dinners that become democratic crises. You’ll hear new angles every night as she road-tests language, rhythm, and perspective, often weaving in sharp crowd work without derailing the architecture of the hour. What makes this phase so exciting, from our vantage point, is watching a voice refine itself in real time—keeping the soul of a bit while whittling it into something that can carry a room, a tour, and beyond.

For those joining us at Espace Gerson, the experience is deliberately close and participatory: laughter guides the edits, and the room’s shared attention lets nuance shine. Julie’s set is evolving, which means you may catch “premières versions” of pieces that will later become show anchors—think “Guide de survie au dîner de famille,” a nimble blend of character play and cultural anthropology; “Emojis, mode d’emploi,” a rapid-fire take on digital etiquette; or “Petites annonces du cœur,” a mock-classifieds sequence where she transforms desire, doubt, and timing into punchlines. Our team keeps the environment crisp and focused—lights warm, sound tight—so that every shrug, pause, and whispered aside carries. Arrive a little early, settle in, and let the room do its magic: here, a tiny eyebrow raise can detonate a laugh across the back row, and a new tag can turn a smile into an ovation. Julie Conti en rodage is not only a showcase of an artist in flight; it’s an invitation to witness the craft up close, right where it belongs.
