At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

We are delighted to welcome the audacious, intimate, and irresistibly funny SOS d’une Libido en Détresse to THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON. From our vantage point as hosts, we’ve watched audiences flock to frank, contemporary comedy that tackles the messy heart of everyday life, and this show hits that sweet spot with wit and warmth. Expect a night where sharp stand-up, physical comedy, and playful audience asides collide, all in the service of one universal question: how do we keep desire alive when real life keeps getting in the way? Our team has curated a night that feels as vibrant as the city around us—doors open to easy laughter, low-key mischief, and the thrill of recognizing yourself onstage. Whether you’re out for date night, a friends’ reunion, or flying solo to enjoy a bold new hour of comedy, we’re setting the stage for a performance that marries clever writing with spontaneous electricity, the kind of laughter that starts big and lingers long after the curtain call.

Inside SOS d’une Libido en Détresse

From its first minutes, SOS d’une Libido en Détresse plunges into the modern maelstrom: dating apps that promise everything and deliver chaos, long-term love negotiating calendars and laundry, the myths of “effortless chemistry,” and the gentle (or not-so-gentle) art of saying what you actually want. The show’s voice is contemporary and compassionate, as attentive to body politics and consent as it is to the joys of flirting and the pratfalls of routine. The evening unfolds in vivid chapters—smart, tightly crafted comedy that still leaves room for improvisation. You’ll hear signature bits like “Swipe Fatigue,” a fast-paced tour through digital courtship; “After-Work Desire,” a funny-sad ode to passion on a Tuesday; “Consent, Actually,” which treats clarity as the sexiest foreplay; and “The Seven-Minute Miracle,” a tongue-in-cheek survival guide for busy lovers. If you’ve ever tried to schedule romance between emails, navigated misread signals, or wondered why spark arrives when you least expect it, the show turns those moments into cathartic, communal laughter, with storytelling that is both fearless and exquisitely human.

As a venue that champions artists in full creative flight, we’re thrilled to spotlight the current momentum around this new hour. The creator of SOS d’une Libido en Détresse has spent recent months honing fresh material in packed rooms and across digital platforms, rolling out short-form pieces that fans have been sharing widely—think bite-size hits like “Therapy To-Go,” a candid riff on couple’s counseling; “Bedroom Bureaucracy,” where spreadsheets meet spontaneity; and “The Myth of Being ‘In the Mood’,” a gently subversive take on desire’s ebb and flow. This live set builds on that buzz with a fuller arc: the rush of infatuation, the negotiations of long-term love, the comic terror of performance anxiety, the quiet thrill of rediscovering one another. Structurally, the show balances quick-fire punchlines with scenic beats and sly musical stings, inviting the crowd into call-and-response moments that feel unique to each night. We’ve tuned our room at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON to amplify this dynamic—crisp sound, intimate sightlines, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages big laughs and honest reactions. Join us as we host a performance that treats libido not as a problem to fix but as a living, laughing conversation—messy, joyful, real—shared between artist and audience.
