Tu Voeux Ou Tu Voeux Pas ?

Tu voeux ou tu voeux pas at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut

We are delighted to bring Tu voeux ou tu voeux pas to the intimate, high-spirited setting of Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, where the proximity between stage and seats turns every beat of comedy into a shared moment. Our upstairs room thrives on quick thinking and live electricity, and this festive, razor-sharp show is built precisely for that: a fast, playful mix of stand-up, character work, and audience-driven surprises that fold your own “voeux” into the punchlines. After a busy stretch of late-night previews and full-house weekends here, the artist arrives with a fresh bundle of seasonal material, tuned to the acoustics and timing of the room. Recent warm-up sets at our venue have introduced crisp new sketches like “Le Bureau des Vœux,” “Service Après-Fêtes,” and “La Réunion de Famille: Version WhatsApp,” pieces that swing from acute social observation to absurd, rapid-fire roleplay. Our team has shaped the light and sound for snap-to-black transitions and tight comedic rhythms, keeping the momentum high while preserving space for those spontaneous riffs that only happen in a room like Salle du Haut. Expect a show that winks at the rituals of the year’s end, reimagines tradition with a mischievous edge, and invites you—quite literally—to decide how the evening unfolds.

What you will experience on the night

From the opening minute, Tu voeux ou tu voeux pas breaks the fourth wall with a knowing grin: a brisk monologue teases the chaos of resolutions before pulling in the first audience “voeux,” gathered from cards at the bar and volunteered live. That spark fuels a cascade of character-driven miniatures—think the gleefully overworked “DRH du Père Noël,” a fast-talking “Coach de Vœux” who brand-manages your resolutions like a product launch, and the chaotic “Groupe WhatsApp de la Famille,” where every ringtone lands like a punchline. The structure is nimble and cinematic, punctuated by recurring bits such as “Le Répondeur du Père Noël” and a crowd-led “Comité des Vœux” that turns viewers into co-authors of the jokes. Physical comedy collides with pinpoint writing; callbacks tie the set together; and the room’s close sightlines make every eyebrow lift and pause count. Our front-of-house team calibrates staggered entry so you can settle in, order a pre-show drink, and enjoy the chatter before the lights drop. Once the show is in motion, it moves with the restless energy that defines our upstairs stage: brisk blackouts, quick character flips, and the kind of agile crowd work that thrives in the Salle du Haut’s concentrated, convivial atmosphere.

Artistically, this date at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut lands at a charged moment. The comedian is road-testing a new hour with additional previews around town while refining the architecture of Tu voeux ou tu voeux pas for a run of winter performances. Recent short-form sets recorded on our stage have spotlighted timely sketches—“Vœux, Mode d’Emploi,” “Réunions qui n’en finissent pas,” and “After des Fêtes: Débrief”—and the material has been tightening with each pass, building a portfolio of crowd-approved beats that now anchor the show. Between our late-night samplers like “Plateau du Haut” and the high-energy “Open Mic du Complexe,” the artist has kept the creative engine revving, sharpening transitions, testing closers, and weaving in new audience games that reward quick, witty participation. Demand for this date has been strong, so we’ve balanced seating to maintain the signature intimacy of the room while maximizing sightlines; doors open ahead of curtain for smooth entry, and our team remains on hand throughout to keep the flow crisp. We’re proud to host this living, evolving piece on our upstairs stage—an hour that captures everything we prize about live comedy in Lyon: immediacy, craft, and that joyous sense that anything could happen when the next “voeu” lands in the spotlight.
