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

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Monsieur Fernandez with L'Avis des autres

From our stage at Le Boui-Boui, we take particular pride in hosting artists who reveal themselves best in intimate proximity, and Monsieur Fernandez is a perfect match for that promise. With L'Avis des autres, he brings a show built for the close-up energy of our room, where every raised eyebrow and whispered aside lands with precision. Night after night, we watch audiences lean in as he dissects the frictions of contemporary life—how opinions are formed, traded, and weaponized—and flips those everyday negotiations into rollicking, meticulously engineered scenes. The silhouette of his character work is crisp; the timing is athletic; and the warmth he extends to the front row ripples to the back. Here at Le Boui-Boui, the laughter rolls in waves, but what lingers after the applause is his knack for letting a single observation bloom into a riotous chain reaction. That alchemy between performer and crowd—so particular to a compact Lyonnais room—is exactly what our venue was built to amplify.

As programmers, we also relish the way L'Avis des autres structures its comic voltage in chapters that feel both spontaneous and rigorously tuned. The show pivots through sharply titled bits like "Les Avis Vérifiés," where the tyranny of five-star ratings becomes a full-blown social ritual; "Le Group Chat de la Famille," a ping-by-ping descent into intergenerational chaos; and "Mode Avion," a surprisingly tender, prankishly honest ode to unplugging in a world that never does. When he unpacks performative outrage in "Point Godwin de Tonton," the satire is pointed but never cruel; and with "Profil Parfait," the minute choreography of swipes, likes, and bio edits becomes a comedic ballet. We see the audience recognize themselves in these scenes, nodding before bursting into laughter, because the show’s architecture leverages our room’s intimacy: taglines ricochet, callbacks sneak up, and the smallest expression becomes a punchline trigger. By the time he reaches "Micro-Trottoir du Voisinage," the crowd is fully in stride with his pace, anticipating the next twist and savoring how it lands within the cozy focus that defines an evening at Le Boui-Boui.

Fresh material and recent sketches

Beyond the live hour, Monsieur Fernandez is in an active creative moment that we’re delighted to spotlight on our stage. His recent short-form sketches—"Réu Zoom qui dérape," "Le Voisin Sociologue," "Recettes de Notes Vocales," and "Chronique de la File d’Attente"—have sharpened the topical blade he wields in L'Avis des autres, giving the show an “of-the-week” immediacy without sacrificing crafted punchlines. The newer chunks he’s road-testing with our audiences, including "Story ou Itinéraire" and "La Ruée vers les Commentaires," showcase a performer keenly attuned to how digital habits reshape human rituals. At Le Boui-Boui, we curate for that sensibility: a space where authorship and presence matter as much as laughs per minute. Our tech team dials in the room so his hushes hit as hard as his crescendos; our seating keeps the crowd in a shared pocket of attention; and our post-show hallway chats often spark the next micro-adjustment. That loop—fresh writing, precise stagecraft, immediate audience feedback—is why L'Avis des autres thrives here in Lyon, and why we’re thrilled to present Monsieur Fernandez in a setting that lets his newest ideas arrive warm from the studio and fully alive under the lights.
