Monsieur Fernandez - Dans L'avis Des Autres - Théâtre Le Boui-boui De Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Monsieur Fernandez in L'avis des autres

At Le Boui-Boui, we prize proximity: that electric, bare-bones intimacy where a performer can hear every breath before a laugh breaks. It’s the ideal setting for Monsieur Fernandez and his new show L'avis des autres, a creation that thrives on nuance, spontaneity, and the playful pressure of a room that’s close enough to become part of the story. From our stage, he turns the everyday churn of opinions—family verdicts, office hot takes, neighborly side-eyes, and the ceaseless scroll of social comments—into high-precision comedy. The writing is tight, the rhythm elastic, and the audience becomes a living barometer he reads with a knowing smile. Expect a blend of stand-up and sly character work, little slices of improvisation built on the way a line lands or a glance lingers, and an artful string of callbacks that give the night a subtle architecture. In a room like ours, where every seat feels like the front row, his crowd work flourishes: a question tossed to a table blossoms into a scene; a shared Lyonnais reference (a tram delay, a bouchon dinner plan, the delicate politics of group chats) sparks laughter that ricochets across the black walls. L'avis des autres doesn’t lecture about judgment; instead, it exposes the tiny mechanisms of it—how we politely calibrate ourselves, how we chase approval, how we pretend not to care—and he does it with warmth rather than scolding, mapping a social ballet we all dance without noticing.

Artistic momentum, fresh material, and a tailor-made room

We’re hosting Monsieur Fernandez at a moment when his artistic momentum is palpable: the set is fresh, the ideas current, and the craftsmanship unmistakable. The show evolves night after night—sharpened tags, newly minted transitions, an extra beat here, a cut there—so that each performance at Le Boui-Boui feels like a snapshot of a living work. From our vantage point backstage, we see how deliberately he builds L'avis des autres: tight openers to warm the room, a central run where themes crisscross (group opinions, reputations, the light absurdity of “being rated” for everything), and a final weave of callbacks that reframe earlier laughs with added bite. The staging remains minimal—just a mic, a stool, a glass—because in a space like ours, the craft shows in timing and trust. It’s comedy that respects silence as much as punchlines, leaving room for those perfect Lyon moments when the audience nods before it laughs. For those following his current work, this date is an early chance to experience material in the form he intends: immediate, collaborative, and precise. We’ve tuned the lights and sound to carry every shift in tone, from throwaway asides to bolder, theatrical builds, and we keep the room close to preserve that “we’re all in this together” feeling L'avis des autres invites. Tickets are limited, the energy is high, and the format is exactly what our stage was made for: a witty, generous hour in which Monsieur Fernandez turns the press of public opinion into pure, shared play.
