At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome the sharp, disarming energy of Una Roberta débarque à Lyon to our stage. From the moment our doors open, our team is preparing the room for a night of quick-fire wit, agile storytelling, and the kind of close-up connection that our venue is built to amplify.

In our intimate layout, every shrug, glance, and throwaway aside lands with precision, giving the audience the feeling of being part of an inside conversation.

Current momentum and material shaping tonight’s performance

Una Roberta débarque à Lyon arrives with lively momentum: new writing refined in clubs, clips that have been buzzing online, and a knack for folding fresh experiences into a cohesive hour. The artist’s recent set pieces have crystalized into crowd-pleasing beats that we love programming in our space—vignettes like “Coffee vs. Café,” where caffeine habits become a cultural map; “Paperwork Olympics,” a playful sprint through administrative absurdities; and “Lost in Translation (On Purpose),” which turns linguistic misfires into a communal game. You’ll also find character-driven mini-sketches surfacing between stories: a proud nonna on speakerphone, a ride-share philosopher, and a hyper-efficient friend who schedules emotions like meetings. This mix of sketches and long-form tales creates a set with layers: quick laughs for the front row, gentle aftershocks for the back of the room. From our perspective at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, the most exciting “news” is how the material keeps evolving; no two nights feel identical. Small moments—an audience member’s accent, a local street name, the mention of a bouchon—can become a fresh detour, and our stage configuration is designed to let those detours bloom without losing the throughline of the show.

What makes Una Roberta débarque à Lyon such a natural fit for THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON is the conversation it sparks between performer and city. The show moves with a traveler’s curiosity and a local’s precision: food lore meets transit etiquette; fashion meets weather; ambition meets the Monday morning reality of Lyon. There’s a lovingly observational piece we adore seeing land here—“Tramway Serenade”—in which the daily commute becomes a microcosm of human choreography, and a recurring runner, “The List,” that returns throughout the evening to tally everything learned (and unlearned) since arriving. As hosts, we’ve leaned into that sensibility with a staging that keeps sightlines crisp and the performer close; the bar’s pre-show hum eases into an attentive hush once lights dip, and the room’s acoustics carry every aside without overpowering the natural ebb and flow of the set. Whether you come for the bilingual banter, the nimble sketches, or the intimate sense that the show is being written with you, in the moment, our promise at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON is simple: we’ll give Una Roberta débarque à Lyon the warmest landing strip possible—and you the sharp, sparkling night out you’ve been waiting for.
