Waly Dia at Le Toboggan: Une heure à tuer on tour

At Le Toboggan, we are thrilled to welcome Waly Dia with Une heure à tuer, a new opus in his ongoing tournée that has been sparking packed houses and buzzing word of mouth. From our vantage point as hosts, we know how much his quicksilver rhythm, expressive body language, and spontaneous crowd play come alive in a room tuned for clarity and intimacy. Our auditorium lets every glance, pause, and punchline land with precision, and that is central to the experience Waly crafts—sharp, contemporary stand-up that pivots effortlessly from the personal to the social. Audiences coming for Une heure à tuer can expect a performance that prizes direct contact: a comedian whose energy ricochets from the first row to the balcony, riffing on the moment while keeping a meticulously built hour at its core. It is a magnetic balance of mastery and mischief, and Le Toboggan is prepared to amplify every beat of it.

Our stage, his energy: what awaits at Le Toboggan

As a venue that programs artists across disciplines, we have been following Waly Dia’s current momentum closely. In recent seasons, his profile has been bolstered by high-impact sets shared from stages and screens alike, with standout appearances linked to flagship showcases such as Marrakech du Rire and the Montreux Comedy Festival—platforms that thrive on precision timing, bold ideas, and the ability to connect beyond borders. Many spectators first discovered his speed and clarity at Jamel Comedy Club and On n’demande qu’à en rire; today, short-form clips circulating from these and newer television spots continue to introduce his tone to fresh audiences. That continuity matters to us as curators: it means our spectators arrive primed for a voice that blends agility with rigor, and a point of view that is both playful and pointed. Bringing Une heure à tuer to Le Toboggan aligns with our commitment to present work that is immediate, generous, and crafted for the live encounter.

What does Une heure à tuer promise on our stage? A contemporary hour that moves—from family folklore to social media spirals, from everyday urban choreography to the dizzying churn of headlines, algorithms, and hot takes. Waly Dia’s art lies in taking these shared touchpoints and giving them the pace and detail of lived experience: he shifts registers without losing coherence, punctuates political flashes with physical comedy, and spins audience asides into callbacks that reward attention. As hosts, we have tuned our sound, sightlines, and light to let those transitions breathe, so that a whispered aside is as legible as a full-throttle riff. Expect segments where generational codes collide, where language games sharpen into social observation, and where the spontaneity of the night—your reactions, your laughter—shapes the rhythm of the show. At Le Toboggan, we are ready for the velocity and warmth of this encounter, and delighted to be a stop on a tournée that underscores how vital, and how unmissable, Waly Dia’s live presence has become.
