Le Boui-Boui welcomes Camille Lienard with C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort

At Le Boui-Boui, we champion artists whose writing and presence thrive in an intimate room, and that is precisely why we are delighted to host Camille Lienard with her sharp, elastic, and delightfully restless C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort. Our stage is built for proximity: you catch the flicker of an eyebrow, the quiet reset between punchlines, the spontaneous aside that becomes a running gag with the front row. Camille’s show finds its perfect echo here. The material is agile and contemporary, with a rhythm that mirrors the pulse of a city that never fully switches off. In our black-box setting, her humor trades in truthful details—late-night messages, glitchy alarms, neighbors who blur the line between day and night—rendered with crisp timing and deft physicality. We’ve watched her thread together observational beats and confessional snapshots into a set that moves like a story, yet snaps like stand-up. C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort lands at Le Boui-Boui as a living piece, and our audience, accustomed to being part of the discovery process, will relish seeing Camille stretch, improvise, and refine in a room that gives every breath of a joke the space it needs.

Artistic momentum and what to expect at the show

From our vantage point, the artistic traction around Camille Lienard is tangible: she’s part of a new wave of performers who bridge club stages and digital clips without losing the heartbeat of live performance. If you follow the contemporary French comedy ecosystem through recent programs such as Quotidien, Clique, Stand Up France, or the Open du Rire selections, you already know the appetite for stand-up that feels intimate, grounded, and fast on its feet. C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort sits right at that crossroads. The show’s engine is the after-hours mind—racing thoughts, stray anxieties, misfired notifications—translated into precise bits that pivot from the tiny (a ringtone no one can silence) to the tender (the ways we call for help without asking). In rehearsal slots and club-length sets leading up to her time with us, Camille has honed a voice that balances buoyant mischief with emotional clarity. Expect a set architecture that reaps call-backs, a few gleeful detours sparked by the room, and a finale that braids threads you didn’t realize were being woven. At Le Boui-Boui, those layers crackle. The laughter arrives in waves—some bright and immediate, some of the slow-blooming variety that keeps audiences smiling on the walk home.

Le Boui-Boui remains a home for performers who treat the stage as a laboratory, and Camille Lienard embraces that spirit. Our team has designed the night around the collaborative atmosphere our audiences love: arrive early, settle close, and you will feel the playful exchange that is the hallmark of our venue. C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort benefits from our warm-light focus, intimate seating, and attentive sound, all of which amplify the elegance of Camille’s pacing and the snap of her punchlines. The set dives into daily rituals thrown off-kilter by sleeplessness, the odd poetry of shared walls and thin doors, and the comedy of modern communication—voice notes at odd hours, status bubbles that disappear, the way small pings can spiral into epic narratives at 3 a.m. It’s the kind of night where you’ll recognize yourself, your neighbor, your group chat, and maybe your coping mechanisms. As curators, we love when a show invites the room to breathe with it; Camille’s attention to rhythm, silence, and surprise makes that invitation irresistible. We look forward to welcoming you to Le Boui-Boui for a performance that carries the fizz of discovery and the craft of a comedian honing a signature hour right in front of you.
