Prime Club - Le Complexe, Lyon

Prime Club at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas

As the team behind Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, we are delighted to welcome Prime Club to our intimate downstairs room, a space designed for unfiltered, up-close comedy. The format thrives in our cabaret-style layout: short distances between stage and seats, tight sound, focused lighting, and the kind of immediate, generous laughter that only a basement room can amplify. Prime Club brings a rotating roster of stand-up voices—some rising rapidly across the national circuit, others already familiar to audiences who follow contemporary French comedy. Many of the comedians featured in this club-night format have recently appeared on stages and screens associated with Jamel Comedy Club, Montreux Comedy, Paname Comedy Club, and LOL: Qui rit, sort!, carrying fresh momentum and sharpened material into every set. From our vantage point at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, what makes Prime Club compelling is the promise of discovery: crisp new bits, crowd work that lives in the moment, and a playlist of perspectives that refreshes from one show to the next while maintaining a consistently high standard of craft.

What the new season of Prime Club brings to Lyon

Our curators love Prime Club for how precisely it fits a room like ours. This season, the night moves at a quickened pace: a charismatic MC opens the room and keeps the energy braided from set to set; several stand-ups deliver tight, high-impact segments; and a featured closer pushes into longer rhythms, testing tour-ready material. You can expect themes that range from the absurdities of daily life in Lyon to politics, pop culture, sports, and the beautiful chaos of relationships. The artistic ecosystem around Prime Club is equally dynamic, with performers who also tape for platforms and formats audiences will recognize—recent clips circulating from Jamel Comedy Club, fresh festival sets highlighted by Montreux Comedy, segments affiliated with Paname Comedy Club, and viral appearances linked to LOL: Qui rit, sort!. The crossover between stage and screen keeps the lineups electric: new jokes incubated in clubs like ours today become tomorrow’s headlining anchors, and that creative evolution is palpable in the room.

For Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, Prime Club is not simply a booking; it’s an ongoing conversation with the audience about what stand-up can be right now. Our downstairs stage puts you close enough to see the precision of a pause, the architecture of a callback, the way a comedian swings between scripted rhythm and spontaneous crowd interaction. We tailor the room to serve the show: quick turnover between acts, attentive house management, and a technical setup that lets comics dial in their timing with confidence. You’ll often catch guest drop-ins from comics refining their next one-man shows, and you may even recognize performers whose recent passages through Jamel Comedy Club or Montreux Comedy have made the rounds online. Prime Club is built for repeat visits; every edition reshuffles the deck, and the chemistry between our audience and the night’s lineup gives each date its own identity. In our downstairs room, the laughter hits first; the discovery, though, is what lingers long after the mic goes quiet.
