Karim Duval - Entropie - Tournée

Karim Duval brings Entropie to Espace Gerson

From our vantage point at Espace Gerson, few evenings promise the mix of sharp intelligence and warm complicity that Karim Duval delivers with Entropie. As part of Entropie - tournée, this date celebrates the comedian’s taste for dissecting the chaos of modern life—work rituals, digital overdrive, identity paradoxes—and transforming it into sparkling clarity on stage. In our intimate room, his finely chiseled writing and effortlessly precise timing land with crisp immediacy: you hear every aside, every breath, every turn of irony. Entropie is the perfect fit for our space: close-up, conversational, and irresistibly human. Expect a living, evolving set, where polished pieces sit alongside spontaneous riffs born in the moment with the audience. The show’s heartbeat is its ability to navigate disorder with grace, switching registers—from sly corporate satire to tender observations about belonging—without ever losing the thread of laughter. It’s the kind of night our team loves to host: generous in ideas, rich in rhythm, and built for the communal energy that Espace Gerson cultivates.

The artist’s current spotlight

Karim Duval arrives at Espace Gerson in full creative flight. His recent stream of short-form bits—shared widely online—keeps fueling the momentum behind Entropie - tournée, and you can feel that current on stage. He has honed a signature lens on the world of work and technology, with sketches like “La start-up nation,” “Génération Y,” “Télétravail,” and “LinkedIn” resonating across audiences who recognize themselves in the details. Longtime followers will also remember Y, a formative show that helped shape his voice: agile, curious, and unafraid to blend cultural viewpoints with the day’s headlines. What’s striking in the room is how he recomposes that material live, crossfading familiar themes into fresh angles tailored to the audience in front of him. Without ever sacrificing pace, Karim gives space to subtext—how we juggle identities, how language frames our lives—so that the laughter carries a second echo. For us as hosts, it’s a joy to present an artist who arrives with genuine news, not just a set list: a creator in the habit of surprising, updating, and renewing from one performance to the next.

Everything about our venue complements this encounter. Espace Gerson’s layout invites proximity: the stage is within arm’s reach, the sightlines are clear, and the atmosphere encourages the kind of quicksilver exchanges that Karim Duval thrives on. Our audiences appreciate craft, and Karim’s command of rhythm—shifts in tone, precision pauses, playful callbacks—makes the room hum. Expect a dynamic arc: bright observational sprints, deeper narrative passages, and those deliciously awkward moments where the truth sneaks up and the laugh arrives a heartbeat later. We recommend arriving with time to settle in and savor the ambiance; there’s a reason comedians love working here, and it has everything to do with the way the crowd’s attention focuses, tightens, and then releases together. Entropie, by design, is about embracing disorder; at Espace Gerson, that idea finds its perfect stage partner, as the show channels energy into clarity, chaos into comedy, and a night out into one of those shared memories that linger long after the lights fade.
