Lucie Carbone - Jour De Fête - Tournée

Lucie Carbone lights up Lyon with Jour de fête at PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT

As PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT, we are delighted to welcome Lucie Carbone and her irresistibly buoyant show Jour de fête, a highlight of her ongoing tournée that celebrates community, ceremony, and the joyful absurdities that swirl around them. Our stage will host this finely tuned one-woman celebration, designed to turn everyday rituals into a living, laughing panorama—wedding halls, village squares, family banquets, and office parties all become theaters of recognition in Carbone’s hands. From our vantage point as a historic performance space in Lyon, we relish the way this production cherishes the collective spirit of a shared evening: the room’s sightlines favor crisp storytelling, our acoustics carry her quick turns and character voices cleanly to every row, and the seated intimacy of the hall makes audience interaction feel warm rather than intrusive. Jour de fête thrives on precisely that closeness—an invitation to lean in, see yourself in the scene, and leave with the giddy feeling that a simple night out has become a personal fête.

Inside the show’s comic engine—and the artist’s current momentum

Jour de fête lets Lucie Carbone navigate between stand-up precision and full-bodied character play, weaving a festive centrifuge of rituals and faux pas. With razor timing and a generous sense of play, she sketches a world where protocol, etiquette, and family mythologies collide to hilarious effect. Expect a carousel of scenes she delights in naming and revisiting for maximum recognition—“Comité des fêtes” with its unstoppable planning zeal, “Le Maire au micro” where civic solemnity meets provincial improvisation, and “Kermesse de l’amour” peeking behind the curtain of those chance encounters that only happen when the bunting is up and the speakers are loud. The pleasure, for us as a venue, is to witness how seamlessly she shifts tone: one moment a confessional burst of stand-up, the next a fully embodied character with a new cadence and posture, then a sly observational aside that lands like a whisper shared among friends. Carbone’s stagecraft recognizes the audience as a key accomplice—she constructs party spaces you can all but walk into, punctuating the show with call-and-response, conspiratorial asides, and that uplifting rhythm that makes a room feel like a single table at the same banquet. In this dedicated stop of the tournée, the material breathes with the present moment; Carbone folds topical social quirks, fresh personal anecdotes, and the texture of today’s celebrations into a set that feels both crafted and gloriously alive.

Beyond our stage, Lucie Carbone’s artistic life is vibrantly in motion, and it is precisely this forward momentum that gives Jour de fête its sheen of now. Across recent seasons, she has cultivated a strong presence through new stage dates, short-video capsules that condense her character work into bite-sized bursts, and recurring sketch formats that fans have begun to recognize on sight—pieces like “Plan de table, plan de bataille,” where diplomacy at dinner reaches geopolitical stakes, or “DJ-cousin: set affectif,” a gleeful portrait of the family music gatekeeper who turns a playlist into a manifesto. In the same spirit, “Discours minute, émotion maximum” showcases her knack for intervening in the ritual moment with a twist of empathy and subversion. These recurring bits act as signatures she can expand live, and our hall is especially suited to the split-second timing they require: the laugh blooms quickly, the callback hits cleanly, and each reprise lands with the satisfying click of recognition. To our audience in Lyon, we offer a setting where the comedic clockwork of these sketches thrives—an evening in which Lucie Carbone’s current creative surge meets the receptive warmth of a full house. With the tournée carrying her to audiences around the country, this performance promises the very essence of her present chapter: a comic voice that is agile, generous, and steeped in the rituals we share, revisited with the sparkling mischief that makes a fête truly memorable.
