Tristan Lucas - Décennies

Espace Gerson welcomes Tristan Lucas with Decennies

At Espace Gerson, we celebrate comedy that breathes, listens, and surprises, and that is exactly why we are thrilled to host Tristan Lucas with Decennies. Our stage is deliberately intimate: a stone’s throw from the first row, a half-step from the bar’s warm murmur, and close enough for every raised eyebrow and side-glance to land with precision. In this room, the rhythm of Tristan’s storytelling becomes a shared pulse—his quick pivots between confession and observation, his playful misdirection, and his knack for resurrecting the smells, sounds, and slogans of bygone years. Decennies is a time-traveling stand-up journey that turns personal milestones into collective memory: mixtapes and landlines, first jobs and first overdrafts, the thrill of a ringtone and the embarrassment of a family desktop in the living room. On our stage, his material sits somewhere between a portrait gallery and a homemade time capsule, crafted for the kind of audience engagement Espace Gerson is known for—laughter you feel in your chest, the hush that follows a truth well told, and the roar that arrives on a perfectly engineered callback.

Recent buzz, fresh material, and the pulse of Decennies

We have followed Tristan Lucas closely as Decennies evolves date after date, and the buzz is unmistakable: tighter transitions, bolder premises, and new detours that keep regulars guessing. In recent performances at Espace Gerson and across the national circuit, he has introduced a host of new bits, playful in tone and precise in detail. You will hear fully shaped sketches with names that speak for themselves—“Génération 3310,” “MSN et le modem 56k,” “La coloc sans Wi‑Fi,” “Open space en 2008,” “Streaming et plan épargne,” and “Premier rendez‑vous Tinder”—each one anchoring a decade with tactile specifics and a contemporary sting. What makes his current artistic moment so compelling is the way he codes nostalgia to modern anxieties: the bliss of a blank summer in the late 90s reframed against today’s permanent ping; the harmless chaos of DIY parties contrasted with the algorithm’s tidy playlists; the freedom of being unreachable versus the tiny panic of the double‑blue tick. The set is alive, hewn from nightly experiments, and strengthened by the kind of audience dialogue that our room invites and amplifies.

From our vantage point at Espace Gerson, Decennies is built for closeness: a single mic, a few deft lighting shifts, and the electricity that flows when an audience recognizes itself in a stranger’s inventory of decades. Tristan Lucas leans into that closeness with a performer’s ease—holding a beat just long enough for someone in the third row to nod, layering anecdotes so the punchline lands in waves, and steering the room with the relaxed authority of a comic who trusts his craft. You will find the humor anchored in lived textures: the clack of a Walkman lid, the hiss of dial‑up, the fluorescent hum of open‑plan offices, the glow of a cracked smartphone screen at 2 a.m. As curators of stand‑up at Espace Gerson, we value this interplay of memory and momentum—comedy that welcomes you in, that tests new edges without losing warmth, and that leaves you swapping your own stories long after the lights come up. Decennies makes that happen here, in the city’s most human‑scaled room for laughter.
