Karim Duval - Entropie - Tournée

Karim Duval at Espace Gerson

At Espace Gerson, we are delighted to welcome Karim Duval with his new show Entropie, presented as part of his Tournée. Our intimate stage in the heart of Lyon is built for precision stand-up, and Karim’s finely tuned timing, multilingual flair, and connection with the crowd thrive in this setting. We have followed his journey from the days of Y to his recent, incisive chronicles of modern work, identity, and technology, and we know how powerfully his material lands in a room like ours. Fans who discovered him through viral sketches such as Civilisation 2.0, Start-up Nation, and La réunionite will recognize the same mix of sharp observation, playful character work, and a warm, wry eye for the contradictions that shape contemporary life. Entropie continues that trajectory, but with the heightened ambition of a comedian who has refined his voice across theaters, festivals, and a constantly evolving online presence—making our venue the ideal crossroads where his ideas meet a live audience without filters.

About Entropie

Entropie is Karim Duval’s exploration of the beautiful disorder that governs our daily routines: the sprint of innovation and the lag of institutions, the comfort of habits and the shock of change. The show’s architecture is deceptively simple—Karim alone on stage, a few essential cues, and a discourse that toggles between storytelling, quick-fire punchlines, and precisely drawn characters. In our room, the intimacy magnifies his craft: the flutter of an eyebrow, a shift in cadence, a throwaway line that detonates seconds later. He dissects corporate buzzwords and the cult of productivity with the same compassion he extends to cultural misunderstandings, hybrid identities, and the way we reinvent ourselves online. Expect nimble callbacks to touchstones fans love—echoes of Civilisation 2.0 or the absurd logic of La réunionite—while Entropie widens the lens to the bigger picture: why we resist change, why we obsess over control, and how humor becomes a compass when the world accelerates. For spectators at Espace Gerson, that means a show that feels both meticulously written and thrillingly alive, with space for spontaneity shaped by the room’s energy.

As a venue dedicated to live comedy, we’re excited to host Karim at a moment when his artistic momentum is unmistakable. Alongside the Tournée, he keeps feeding audiences with fresh online capsules that speak to the times—pieces riffing on Télétravail, updates that nod to the anxieties and hopes of Le monde d’après, and new angles that build on the spirit of Start-up Nation while questioning our fascination with efficiency and status. Entropie channels that ongoing conversation into a full-length experience, calibrating big ideas to the human scale of an evening shared between performer and audience. At Espace Gerson, we tune lights and sound to preserve that conversational clarity, inviting every seat to catch the nuance—whether it’s a bilingual aside, a gently barbed observation about office life, or a moment of honest reflection. Karim Duval arrives here with the curiosity of an engineer-turned-artist and the generosity of a seasoned humorist, ready to let our room’s buzz guide the night as Entropie unfolds, adapts, and delights in real time.
