Les Jumeaux - Bonjour, Au Revoir, S'il Vous Plait, Merci (tournée)

Les Jumeaux at Espace Gerson

At Espace Gerson in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome Les Jumeaux with their touring show, Bonjour, Au Revoir, S’il Vous Plaît, Merci. Our stage thrives on quick wit and intimate connection, and few acts embody that spirit better than this fraternal duo. Their razor-sharp timing, seamless back-and-forth, and gift for character switching are tailor-made for a room like ours, where every breath and glance is shared with the audience. Expect a playful dissection of politeness and everyday rituals—the magic words we repeat without thinking, the social codes we bend or break, and the comic chaos that ensues when courtesy meets absurdity. In the close quarters of Espace Gerson, every aside, whisper, and inspired detour lands with extra impact, turning their split-second complicity into an immersive experience. Whether you’re discovering them for the first time or following them faithfully from one city to the next, this stop on their Tournée promises the kind of laughter that bubbles up from recognition: they ignite the small frictions of daily life and spin them into jubilant, high-speed theatre.

From our vantage point as a venue dedicated to stand-up and sketch comedy, we’ve seen how Les Jumeaux refine material through rhythm, precision, and surprise. Bonjour, Au Revoir, S’il Vous Plaît, Merci showcases their trademark contrasts: the apparent simplicity of a “hello” ricochets into an escalating dialogue; a “please” becomes a passport to all sorts of misunderstandings; a “thank you” spirals into a debate about who owes what to whom. Their comedy is generous, built on chorus-like interplay and a knack for embodying multiple perspectives without ever losing sight of the punchline. Fans will recognize the confidence earned over years of crafting hits, from their breakout on On n’demande qu’à en rire to high-energy festival spots such as Montreux Comedy, and the momentum of previous tours like Les Jumeaux – Grands Crus Classés. On stage, references pop and collide—bureaucracy and family dinners, travel mishaps and queue etiquette—creating a whirl of scenes that feels both meticulously scored and boldly alive. Here at Espace Gerson, that living, breathing quality becomes a dialogue with the room; their playfulness invites us in, and the laughter that follows becomes part of the show’s architecture.

Bonjour, Au Revoir, S’il Vous Plaît, Merci on tour

The current artistic moment for Les Jumeaux is one of joyful acceleration. With the Tournée carrying Bonjour, Au Revoir, S’il Vous Plaît, Merci across the country, the duo are in full creative flight, honing fresh beats and testing new transitions in front of packed houses. It’s a show that feels both accessible and audacious, leveraging their encyclopedic sense of timing and their instinct for the tiny details that define our days. In Lyon, Espace Gerson adds its own signature: our sightlines are clean, the acoustics are warm, and the proximity encourages the kind of playful “fourth-wall” exchanges the duo have become famous for. We’ve prepared the room to let their speed and clarity shine—tight cues, crisp light, and the kind of attentive hush that erupts, in an instant, into cascading laughter. As they pivot through sketches that toy with greetings, farewells, and the art of asking nicely, they also nod to the wider world beyond our walls, the television stages and gala nights where their reputation has grown. It’s a thrill to host them here, in the heart of Lyon, where our audience knows that great comedy isn’t just performed; it’s shared, discovered, and remembered long after the curtain call.
