Thomas Marty - Nouveau Spectacle - Tournée

Thomas Marty at Le Rideau Rouge: a new stop on the tournée

We are delighted to welcome Thomas Marty to Le Rideau Rouge for a long-awaited Lyon rendezvous on his tournée, bringing his Nouveau spectacle to our intimate, red-curtained stage. As a house that prizes proximity between artist and audience, we know how transformative it is to experience comedy in a room built for nuance: the raised eyebrow that changes a punchline, the split-second pause that detonates a laugh across the rows. Thomas Marty’s timing, conversational ease, and knack for turning everyday contradictions into sparkling anecdotes make him a natural fit for our space. Expect a performance shaped by authentic exchanges with the room—playful crowd work, a living rhythm that adapts moment by moment, and a storyteller who favors truth-tinted humor over pure provocation. In Lyon, where quick wit and warm irony are almost a local dialect, his perspective finds a particularly welcoming echo, and we are proud to offer the vantage—sightlines, acoustics, and atmosphere—that lets every inflection land with precision.

Nouveau spectacle: the craft, the voice, the moment

Thomas Marty’s Nouveau spectacle arrives at Le Rideau Rouge with the polish of a writer-performer who has sharpened his voice across clubs, festivals, and digital-first stages. The material blends finely observed slices of modern life—friendship recalibrated in your thirties, family myths that refuse to retire, work routines that chase meaning and efficiency with equal impatience—into long-form storytelling punctuated by brisk, quotable beats. Audiences who have discovered his humor through recent appearances in Montreux Comedy, Paname Comedy Club, Un Bon Moment, and Clique will recognize the same clarity of viewpoint: a candid, never-cynical look at how we improvise our way through shifting roles and expectations. On our stage, the show’s pace breathes: an opening sequence that maps the logic of his universe, a mid-section where callbacks knit the stories tighter, and a final movement that pushes small confessions into big, communal laughter. The staging is intentionally lean—just a mic and a performer fully present—so that language, rhythm, and silence become the set design. Here, the smallest gesture earns its spotlight.

As a venue, we follow the artistic news surrounding Thomas Marty with keen attention, and the momentum is unmistakable. The tournée keeps expanding as word of mouth compounds; clips from the road circulate widely, and the most recent sets suggest a performer in ongoing evolution, refining tags, trimming transitions, and elevating payoffs without losing the lived-in warmth that draws audiences to him in the first place. Lyon’s stop at Le Rideau Rouge underscores that trajectory: a room known for welcoming voices that grow by staying close to people. Expect him to weave in local color—those sly nods to how this city eats, works, and debates—as he stress-tests new turns of phrase that might well become tomorrow’s signature bits. Our team has dialed in the production to favor clarity and intimacy: focused lighting, a crisp sound image that carries even the half-whispered aside, and a tempo that lets laughter bloom before the next idea lands. For spectators, that means an encounter with Thomas Marty precisely where he shines: a direct line from his thought to your laughter, no filter—just the livewire energy of Nouveau spectacle in the hands of a comic at a pivotal, exciting moment.
