Karim Duval - Entropie - Tournée

Entropie at Espace Gerson

At Espace Gerson, we are thrilled to welcome Karim Duval with his new full-length set, Entropie, a highlight of his ongoing tournée and a perfect match for our intimate Lyon stage. From our vantage point, Entropie crystallizes what we love most about live comedy: razor-sharp writing, supple stagecraft, and that shared heartbeat between artist and audience. Duval leans into the beautiful disorder of our times—hyperconnected routines, digital noise, shifting identities—and extracts laughter with surgical precision. In our room, where proximity magnifies nuance, his kaleidoscope of characters and perspectives lands with rare clarity. Expect a finely-tuned rhythm, playful crowd rapport, and an atmospheric design that keeps attention anchored on the language, ideas, and micro-gestures that make his humor unmistakably his. Entropie is a show that invites reflection without ever letting go of the laugh, a living demonstration that intelligence and accessibility can sit side by side on the same spotlighted square meter at Espace Gerson.

Karim Duval’s current artistic momentum

Karim Duval arrives in Lyon with momentum built on a series of recent sketches that have resonated widely, both on stage and online. Pieces like Startup Nation, Le Cadre, and Le monde d’après have showcased his signature blend of elegance, observation, and understated audacity, turning everyday professional rituals and post-digital quirks into crisp comedic diamonds. This same spirit infuses Entropie, where Duval integrates the concerns of a plugged-in generation—workplace jargon, algorithmic anxieties, environmental nerves—without cynicism or complacency. For our audience, his trajectory matters: a former corporate mind turned satirist, a multilingual performer who navigates cultures with ease, and a writer who prefers precision over provocation. The recent buzz around his clips and theater dates confirms what we experience from the wings: a comedian who keeps refining the line between empathy and irony, crafting material that feels warm, lucid, and instantly shareable, yet solid enough to reward a full evening in a live room.

Hosting Entropie at Espace Gerson means offering Lyon comedy lovers an encounter with a performer whose timing and tone are built for close quarters. We shape the evening around clarity and flow so that each transition—between characters, between languages, between themes—finds its echo in the room. Duval’s way of moving from macro ideas to microscopic details plays beautifully on our stage: a raised eyebrow becomes a punchline; a silence becomes a narrative hinge. We know how our audiences breathe, and Entropie plays into that rhythm, balancing big societal mirrors with sly personal detours. If you’ve discovered him through Startup Nation, Le Cadre, or Le monde d’après, this is where those fragments coalesce into a generous, cohesive hour of stand-up and finely chiselled sketches, calibrated for live chemistry in the heart of Lyon at Espace Gerson.
