Titoff - Showbiz (tournée)

Titoff presents Showbiz at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome Titoff with his brand-new hour, Showbiz, a sharp and joyfully unfiltered look at the glittering, chaotic world that lives just beyond the footlights. From our vantage point side stage, what strikes us first is the precision of his timing: the way he enters, sets the rhythm, and immediately turns the room into a single, breathing audience ready to be surprised. Titoff is a seasoned figure of French stand-up, and this outing shows him in full command of his craft—looser, more playful, and even more mischievous, yet anchored by a writer’s eye for detail. Expect a contemporary comedian who knows the crowd in front of him—Lyonnais with a taste for wit and heart—and who adapts his delivery to the auditorium’s intimate acoustics. The result, on our stage, is a conversation that feels spontaneous and personal, but is built on material honed with care: a perfect match for the close-up, high-impact experience we love to offer.

Onstage energy, razor-sharp material, and today’s pop-culture mirror

Showbiz is where Titoff dissects fame, gossip, and the off-screen reality with the affectionate insolence that made his reputation. He draws playful lines between backstage truths and prime-time illusions, skewering the rituals and oddities of the industry while letting us in on the punchlines that professionals trade in the wings. You’ll hear him riff on the cultural touchpoints everyone recognizes—he has a ball deconstructing the spectacle of LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the masked grandeur of Mask Singer, the ultra-competitive heat of Top Chef, and the media choreography we all glimpse on Quotidien or C à vous. The themes are unmistakably current: the tyranny of algorithms, the life-cycle of a trending clip, the modern etiquette of influencers, and the everyday negotiations of friendship, couples, and family when everyone is “on” all the time. From where we sit, it’s thrilling to watch him switch gears—from a nimble character portrait to a clean observational slice, from a sly aside to a full-blooded bit—without losing the room for a second. It’s a masterclass in energy control, with those delicious pockets of improvisation that make each performance in Lyon unmistakably unique.

As a venue, we recognize the momentum of an artist when we see it, and Titoff arrives with the kind of fresh writing that tells you he’s been road-testing, chiseling, and renewing his voice for a new chapter. Showbiz feels like the meeting point between a veteran’s confidence and a creator’s curiosity, and THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON provides the ideal frame: a warm, focused space that amplifies quick-fire punchlines, gives room for character work, and invites the kind of audience interplay he relishes. The laughs roll in waves, but so do the small silences he crafts to set up a payoff—those are the moments where our hall’s intimacy shines and every seat gets the same electric jolt. Our team loves how seamlessly his set breathes with the room: entrances and exits are crisp, sound is tuned to catch every nuance, and the pacing lets you enjoy the textures of the show, not just the crescendos. Whether you’re discovering Titoff for the first time or you’ve followed him for years, this date is an invitation to see a comedian firmly in the present tense—punchy, generous, and speaking directly to the way we live and laugh now, right here on our Lyon stage.
