Julie Conti En Rodage - Espcace Gerson, Lyon

Julie Conti en rodage arrives at Espace Gerson

At Espace Gerson, we are thrilled to welcome Julie Conti en rodage to our intimate stage, a room designed for the precision and spontaneity that a work‑in‑progress night demands. Our audience knows that “en rodage” is where the magic happens first: ideas land for the very first time, lines are sharpened, and the musicality of a new hour begins to emerge. We curate these nights precisely because they put spectators meters away from the creative spark—close enough to catch the quick glances, the breath before a punchline, and the improvised detours that only exist in the room. Julie Conti brings a lively mix of personal storytelling and agile crowd work, and our team shapes the lighting and sound to foreground that clarity: the low hum before a bit, the pause that heightens suspense, the release of a perfectly timed tag. If you love discovering tomorrow’s material today, Espace Gerson is the place to witness it being forged.

A current voice of stand-up in a room built for discovery

Julie Conti arrives with the momentum of a comic actively building her next chapter—shaping fresh angles, testing structures, and refining the rhythm that turns sharp observations into memorable bits. Our programming champions that living process, and Julie’s “rodage” fits our mission to spotlight new writing while it is still warm. Audiences who follow contemporary comedy will recognize the pulse we cultivate here—the same appetite for authentic, unfiltered sets that has animated recent showcases such as Génération Paname (France 2), Le Paname Comedy Club (Canal+), Soixante (Canal+), and Montreux Comedy. In our room, you can expect Julie to lean into relatable themes—everyday contradictions, family dynamics, work culture, digital habits—then veer toward playful absurdity when a look from the front row or a passing thought opens a fresh lane. We love that stretch, the risk that turns a good premise into a signature chunk, and we tune the evening to give those discoveries the space they need to land.

Because Espace Gerson is a house built for proximity, the night flows like a conversation: a nimble back‑and‑forth where Julie Conti can calibrate wording, tension, and tempo with the instant feedback only a live crowd provides. This is where you hear a line that might later anchor a festival set or one day close a special; it is also where a spontaneous riff becomes the moment everyone quotes in the foyer. We structure our stand‑up calendar to pair emerging voices and established pens in formats that reward curiosity—open stages, extended spots, and focused “rodage” sessions like Julie Conti en rodage—so that regulars can track how an idea matures from a spark to a polished routine. If you value craft, come early, settle into the cozy sightlines, and let the room work its alchemy: silence, laughter, a try again, a breakthrough. Julie’s current artistic trajectory is all about that refinement—testing, trimming, and amplifying the lines that feel most true—and Espace Gerson is proud to host this vital step of the journey.
