Karim Duval - Entropie - Tournée

Espace Gerson welcomes Karim Duval with Entropie

At Espace Gerson, we are delighted to welcome Karim Duval with Entropie, a stop that feels tailor-made for our intimate stage in the heart of Lyon. Our room thrives on performers who turn closeness into connection, and Karim’s finely tuned storytelling makes that connection immediate. Entropie places the modern world under a magnifying glass: the rush of information, the churn of work culture, the slippery edges of identity and belonging. In our setting, these themes take on an extra charge—every raised eyebrow and quick aside carries to the last row. Expect a blend of stand-up precision and theatrical nuance, with characters and observations that swing from the corporate open space to the dinner table, from startup lingo to existential asides. As a venue that champions sharp writing and bold stage presence, we are proud to host a show that turns contemporary chaos into shared laughter, line by line, beat by beat.

Artistic news and what to expect on stage

Karim Duval arrives at Espace Gerson with the wind of recent successes at his back, powered by widely shared videos and sketches that have found a dedicated audience online and on stage. Recent favorites such as LinkedOut, Start-up Nation, and Télétravail have become calling cards for a comedic voice that understands both the poetry and the pitfalls of the digital workplace. His appearances at Montreux Comedy have further cemented a reputation for intelligent, warm humor that cuts cleanly without losing empathy. Entropie draws on that momentum, widening the lens to take in the randomness of daily life: the way algorithms know us better than we know ourselves, the scramble for meaning amid productivity metrics, the fast-evolving language of teams, tribes, and timelines. From the vantage point of our hall, we see how his timing has tightened, how the writing has grown more layered, and how his stagecraft—gesture, silence, a sudden shift in rhythm—lands with a satisfying clarity. It’s contemporary, yes, but it is also deeply human, and the laughter it sparks feels both cathartic and communal.

For audiences discovering Karim Duval at Espace Gerson, Entropie is not just a set of jokes; it is an evening deliberately shaped for intimacy—the kind of closeness that lets a whisper be as funny as a punchline. Our team has tuned light and sound to support the quick pivots that characterize Karim’s performances, from agile character work to razor-edged wordplay. What makes this stop on Entropie special for us is how naturally his material resonates with the room: a crowd that mixes curious first-timers with devoted fans who have followed his sketches, quoted LinkedOut at the office, or swapped Start-up Nation lines during coffee breaks. We invite you to settle in, switch off, and let the show’s current pull you along: the unsettled energy of the age distilled into one performer’s perspective and shared, live, with the entire room. That is what we love about hosting artists of Karim’s caliber—the moment when the noise of the outside world becomes a shared joke inside Espace Gerson.
